Humanity left Earth several hundreds of years ago. Shifters were among the first to board the space stations escaping from the dying planet. During the long voyage in deep space, mutations changed the paranormal passengers altering their lives forever. As a result, shifters lost their ability to reproduce and enrolled geneticists to ensure their survival.

Valentine Lobo is the last werewolf left in all the Coral System. The undisputed leader of planet Lupine, he has been waiting for his genetically engineered bride for centuries. He has no time to court Mirella Canalis, the young woman whom he only sees as a means to an end. After all, her only reason to exist is to give the alpha werewolf an heir. 
Valentine is arrogant and domineering. He must save House Lobo from oblivion. What will happen when he finally meets sweet and naïve Mirella on his wedding night?

Welcome to the world of Blood Courtesans. Where Vampires are real, and blood is a commodity. 

Once upon a time, I was a princess, a real one, but my life is no fairy tale. My parents died in a tragic accident; my aunt Flora, the woman who raised me as her own, is gone too. Now, I'm losing my ancestral home. 
I'm desperate. Tomorrow, I'll be homeless and completely alone for the first time in my life. If only there was a way to earn what I need in a month... Maybe there is—become a blood courtesan and sell myself to a rich and powerful vampire. 
Time has run out, and I have a decision to make. 
The Vampire Blood Courtesans: It’s not supposed to be about love… until it is. 
The Blood Courtesans project is a multi-author series set in the world created by Michelle Fox.

Raphael, The Immortal Youth Series #1 by Monica La Porta. Y.A. My ARC review.

 Raphael has nowhere to go, nobody who loves him , and his passed scarred him deeply. A young werewolf on the run , living rough in the catacombs beneath Rome and with nothing else to call his own but his freedom, he desperately tries to elude the Controller whose goal is to send him back to Renegade Youth Shelter and a life of torments.

That is until a chance meeting with Luisa; a werewolf like him whose scent marks her as his one true soul-mate. Much to his despair , their encounter is cut short as he flees from the enforcer chasing after him.

His heart broken and his wolf bereft, Raphael will sacrifice everything to be reunited with Luisa. Even his freedom when he discovers she´s been abducted by a street gang . But will it be enough ?

★★★★★
This is a coming of age paranormal romance,  with a massive difference.
Raphael is a teenage werewolf living alone on the streets of Rome. From an abusive childhood,  he tries to stay away from the authorities that can be just as bad. He knows the city like the back of his hand, including the underground areas that is home to many others rejected  people,  wolves and pumas that live without any pack support.
While running from an enforcer one night he discovers Luisa,  he knows she is his even though they are so young. Life on the run separates them, many times. Raphael will put himself in mortal danger, and put up with any abuse to save Luisa from a ruthless gang of werewolf criminals.
We follow our hero through years of trials and tribulations, while he works to find and save his mate.
A beautiful story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, worrying over the incredible brave young wolf.

Diana knew nothing of the paranormal world until her transformation into a vampling, a newborn vampire entirely reliant for survival upon the distant and seemingly emotionless Centurion, who found her in the throes of changing.Her protector turned her without her consent, but at his untimely death , she becomes the distant and cold immortal´s responsibility.
The entire vampire community is determined to kill Marcus as he protects one of their own. While Marcus and Diana travel the Italian countryside , being chased by their enemies.Marcus must choose between avenging his dead wife or saving Diana from the same vampire who ruined his life.Will the power of love win over his desire for revenge? Bewitched by the Amalfi moon, he soon discovers life might surprise him.

                                                           

★★★★
Marcus has been searching for the Vampire Claudius for more than two thousand years, he blames him for the death of his wife. When he goes to talk to an informant the man has been ambushed. After the fighting is finished Marcus finds himself having to look after a vampling.
Diana has no clue what has happened. She was with a client who had been looking after her since she was diagnosed with cancer. When she woke up she is battered,  bruised and covered in blood.
Marcus is an Immortal, the God Apollo gave him the curse of Eternal life.  Now he must suffer the loneliness ,and try to exact revenge.

The rules in this "world" are a little different than the normal vampire stories. Our hero suffers from a bit of self pity. Made me want to kick him at times. Our heroine on the other hand is a woman who has known true suffering, and how to dig deep to find the courage to survive. It is a very complicated love story, with lots of emotional and physical battles. It is set in present day Rome, with short detours into the past of Marcus's memories.
