Some secrets are dangerous. This Secret is deadly.
For Secret McQueen, her life feels like the punch line for a terrible joke. Abandoned at birth by her werewolf mother, hired as a teen by the vampire council of New York City to kill rogues, Secret is a part of both worlds, but belongs to neither. At twenty-two, she has carved out as close to a normal life as a bounty hunter can.
When an enemy from her past returns with her death on his mind, she is forced to call on every ounce of her mixed heritage to save herself—and everyone else in the city she calls home. As if the fate of the world wasn’t enough to deal with, there’s Lucas Rain, King of the East coast werewolves, who seems to believe he and Secret are fated to be together. Too bad Secret also feels a connection with Desmond, Lucas’s second-in-command…
Warning: This book contains a sarcastic, kick-ass bounty hunter; a metaphysical love triangle with two sexy werewolves; a demanding vampire council; and a spicy seasoning of sex and violence.
I was extremely excited to read Something Secret This Way Comes after loving the prequel, The Secret Guide to Dating Monsters. I just love the main character, Secret. She is a kick-ass bounty hunter that works for the vampire council of New York City and she just happens to be half-vampire and half-werewolf.For Secret McQueen, her life feels like the punch line for a terrible joke.

Only a hand full of people know about Secret’s hybrid status; Keaty, her human mentor and partner, Holden, the sexy vamp that is assign to be her liaison to the vampire council and her Grandmother that raised her after her mother abandoned her.
Secret keeps both of her inner “monsters” under control, she feeds from bagged blood instead of people and she doesn’t change into a wolf during a full moon. But she is finding that keeping her inner monsters in check is becoming harder and harder after she meets a group of werewolves while trying to hunt down her current assignment from the vampire council.
Speaking of Secret’s current assignment, she is taxed with the job of bring in a rouge vampire ALIVE to the council for questioning. The big problem is that this vampire is one of the first vampires that Secret tried to kill when she was sixteen and new to NYC. She barely made it out of their first meeting alive and now after six years the vamp is out to see her dead.
Dean does an excellent job of mixing humor, snarky dialogue, violence and just a touch of sexiness into her urban fantasy series. I loved this book some much that after I finished it and started the next book, Bloody Good Secret the moment I read the last word of Something Secret This Way Comes.
Fans of Riley Jenson series by Keri Arthur and Jaz Parks series by the late Jennifer Rardin will love Seirra Dean’s books.
