The new vampires in town are sinking their teeth into solving a murder…
Married odd couple Arthur and Sal are totally normal. They wear sunscreen, not because the sun can kill them, but because even the undead need a skincare regimen. They eat garlic whenever they want, though it gives Sal indigestion. They can talk to creatures of the night, but only the raccoons that rifle through their garbage. Really, they don’t bite… except into delicious baked goods.
Ready to settle down and stay out of trouble, the two have opened a bed & breakfast in the idyllic, if not-so-paranormal-friendly, town of Trident Falls, Oregon. But trouble finds them when the mayor is discovered dead in their begonias with two puncture wounds in his neck. With the help of a werewolf barista, the elven town coroner, and a very human city manager, Arthur and Sal will need to prove they aren’t literally out for blood by catching a killer…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this playful series launch from Thor (This Is How We Roll) and Hilis, a gay vampire couple deal with a murder at their small-town bed and breakfast. Bloodsuckers Arthur Miller and Sal Conte run the Iris Inn in sleepy Trident Falls, Ore., a "slice of idyllic peace" tucked away in the Cascade Mountains. No one bothers them about being gay, but there's a quiet strain of prejudice developing against paranormal beings in the region, spearheaded by Trident Falls's mayor, George Roth, whom Arthur and Sal both loathe. Unaware of the tensions in town, new city manager Nora Anderson—who's staying at the Iris until she finds more permanent housing—invites Roth to the inn's wine and cheese night, then finds him dead in the property's garden with a pair of puncture wounds in his neck. Certain that they've been framed, Arthur and Sal set out to find the killer with the help of other paranormal locals including a werewolf and an elf. Witty, exciting, and full of eccentric worldbuilding, this sly supernatural cozy stands out from the pack. It's a hoot.
