What lurks in the dark is not always a monster. Sometimes
it’s your deepest desire.
Trey Duncan’s career as a Boston cop has taken an unearthly turn. He’s become embroiled in an alien war being fought on his planet. Each battle they win is a short-lived reprieve. As he helps his new vampire-like friends save his own people, he can’t help but become emotionally involved, especially when it comes to the disturbingly appealing Demi. A hybrid of human and alien, the boy is both older and younger than he seems. To Trey, he remains a temptation he must resist.
Demi is a young man caught between two species and cultures. While his fathers have always kept a tight rein on him, he is starting to break away from their control. He knows what he wants, and from the moment he set eyes on Trey, he knew that the cop was the man for him. Since the last battle, he finally has hope that Trey feels the same way.
Biology forces both their hands, but Trey and Demi are still worlds apart in what they see as their future together. When their enemy’s legacy comes back to haunt them, it’s up to them to lead the way.

Erica – ☆☆☆☆☆
Mating Dance is the fifth installment in the Alien Blood Wars series. If you're new to the series, I strongly suggest reading Blood Dance first, then read the series in order, because everything ties together.
FINALLY! DEMI!
We've watched hybrid Demi grow up over the past four books, going from a spoiled brat to a selfless young man who saved Daffyd's life. With a massive crush on Detective Trey Duncan, Demi has an uphill battle of independence, because his fathers don't want him to grow up and his crush doesn't see him as a grown man.
Trey is struggling with his reaction to the feeding at the end of the previous novel. Being a middle-aged human, Trey feels like a pervert for the affection and desire he feels toward Trey, seeing the young man as the age of his emotional maturity, not how many years he's been on this earth.
For four books, we've witnessed this mating dance, and it's finally time for the payoff. The reason for the ceremony was ingenious, pushing Trey and Demi into each other's arms. The angsty gut-punches after the fact were pure yumminess.
Nothing but slow-burn connection, as Demi comes into his own and Trey learns Demi's true value, amidst a mystery featuring one of Dracul's remaining hybrids.
Then there is Daffyd, seeding his future installment, which only whets our appetites for more and more of this guilty pleasure series of pure escapism. Added with the added angst of Alex pushing Quinn to go to college, underestimating his boy's desires.
At the end of every novel, I'm left wanting more from the entire cast of characters, which is why I eagerly hand out a rare five-star rating. These novels are treats for me – all of Samantha Cayto's novels.
