Beneath Manhattan Skies

Beneath Manhattan Skies - Emma Meade I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Erin Harris met James back before she graduated high school. A movie crew came to her home town to shoot a movie about vampires. Erin loved taking pictures so she got herself a job taking pictures of the movie as it is being shot. While taking pictures of the movie Erin notice that James only came on set at night to film his part in the movie. He was the star of the show; he was a vampire in the movie. Erin was very attracted to James and started following him around and she finds out that he is a real vampire and almost gets herself killed. James falls for Erin as well and he takes care of her and keeps her safe. But the only way to keep her safe was for him to leave. Erin couldn't be with James because of her father was a heavy drinker. Erin was going to go to college in New York and James promised to look her up with she got there.

After Erin finished high school and entered college in New York she met a few friends who all shared an apartment together. But James never showed up like he promised. Erin was sort of disappointed but she met a new guy at college, Tommy. Erin hoping that James was going to show up sooner or later never let Tommy know that she liked him. Erin's twin brother Nick comes to for a visit just when a girl is found dead right outside of her apartment building and it looks to be vampires. Erin finds out that her brother has become a vampire hunter or that is what she thinks when she sees his stake. But she finds out that he just carries it around with him for safety reasons. You know just in case he runs into a vampire.

Erin and Nick decide to go looking for the vampire that is killing the girls. There hunt carries them to a club where Erin runs into James. Nick is very upset that he is there and doesn't want his sister to be with him, Nick is afraid that he will lose control and attack his sister. He is also afraid that he is the one going around killing all these girls. But Erin knows better than this. She knows that James is not like that and would not kill a human for his food.

I read book #1 Under The Desert Moon where Erin and James met and fell in love with each other and loved it as well. I am very glad that I have had the opportunity to read both books and I highly recommend both books to anyone who loves reading about vampires. I really liked all of the characters but of course James, Erin and Nick were my favorite characters. I really loved that James let Erin make the choices and the decisions that she did. I love that he was mature and loved her enough to do that for her.
