REVIEW: We’ve all heard the legend that when a vampire finds their soulmate, the bond is forever and that it’s love at first sight. Or is it?

Vampire Jonas Forge is a homicide detective in Flint, Ohio. He’s spent the last two hundred years watching the world change from the hard, simple times of the colonial days to the modern age with all of its high tech. He’s done an excellent job of adapting and blending into each new era, the one thing that’s stayed the same is Declan, his best friend and sometimes lover. Even though Forge and Declan aren’t soulmates, they’ve been perfectly happy-up until the day Forge’s soulmate literally falls into his life. Blair has only been a vampire for five years, and up until the day he literally runs into Forge at a crime scene, he’s never met another vampire after being turned. Even though the two are soulmates, Forge isn’t thrilled with the awkward, clumsy Blair, and the feeling’s very mutual. Between trying to catch the elusive serial killer who’s leaving bodies all over town-and leaving witnesses unable to identify him-and trying to make things work with Blair, Forge’s life will be anything but boring!

Electric Candle by Elizabeth Noble is the second book in The Sleepless City series, and starts right after the end of the first book in the series-Shades of Sepia by Anne Barwell. Each book can be read as a standalone, but reading them in order will give you a detailed backstory that fills in any gaps. This fascinating character driven whodunit has a smooth plot flow, and a cast of main and secondary characters that literally jump off of the page. Ms. Noble has given us a richly detailed, seamlessly blended world where ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and many other paranormal creatures live normal lives, unknown and unseen by most of the human population. The author’s style of writing is clean, clear, and concise. I really like the way she takes the traditional idea of soulmates and instalove, and gives it a fresh new twist. The whodunit murder mystery part of the story was intriguing, and trying to figure out the identity of the serial killer kept me guessing until the last page. The story has a HEA ending, but leaves enough loose ends to point the way to a sequel. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good whodunit with a healthy dose of the paranormal, and plenty of HOT sex.
