Cronin's Key (Cronin's Key, #1)
by
Cronin, a vampire Elder, has spent over thousand years waiting for his fated, Alec. As much as Cronin wants to have a peaceful time with his mate, now that he's finally met him, he's unfortunately not able to do so.
There's a crazy vampire Queen in Egypt, who has a desire to see the end of the human race. Cronin, Alec and a lot of other vampires prepare for a coming war.
The second characters in this story are amazing. Eiji is a cute and joyful Japanese vampire. He has a mate, Jodis. She has a Nordic heritage and she's the one that unintentionally changed Cronin. They both are Cronin's oldest and dearest friends. There's also Kole, Alec's awesome dad. He takes the news about the whole vampire thing even better than his own son.
The mystery was intriguing and the world building was amazing. I loved the humor and the sweet slow burn between Alec and Cronin. The ending is a HFN. However, it's really satisfying. I couldn't put this book down, I was so drawn into the story. I seriously can't wait for the sequel.

My heart, my love, forever.Alec, who's real name is Ailig, is a NYPD Detective. He has seen many weird things in his life, but after a man crumbles to dust in his arms, his life turns into a new kind of weird and unexpectable.

"Okay. So you kill people for food."I liked Johan too, even though he didn't appear very often. (view spoiler)
Cronin answered stoically. "Yes. Typically felons and those who intend to harm others, but yes."
Kole considered this for a moment. "But you're Scottish?"
"Yes."
Kole looked at Alec and smiled. "He's a Scot!"

I did the same thing. I was like, Wait, that's not the end is it? Surely, there's a trick in there somewhere? But no.
At first I almost wondered if his character would be the antagonist, but he turned out to be such a nice, gentle guy. He deserved more.
YES! You totally should. It's so good. Though I may be partial, because I love all N.R. Walker's stories.
Thanks, Exina! There's a lot of interesting historical references in this book.
