MML just cannot write anything that I do not like and devour in one to three sittings. The Crimson City series is an unusual one - set in an alternate Los Angeles where vampires, werewolves, and humans barely co-exist - each book is written by a different author, based in a world created by Liz Maverick in the first book in the series.

The species do not mix well and each is suspicious of the others. Where other authors explored mostly human-vampire relationships, MML pairs a vampire and a werewolf in an exciting and passionate murder mystery in which they are trying to prevent an inter-species war. A bit like the movie, Underworld Evolution [2], but better.
