Dead in the City Books in Order

Dead in the City brings Sara Humphreys's paranormal romance into New York nightlife. The series follows a vampire coven based around The Coven, a nightclub operating out of an old cathedral, where loyalty can be as important as blood and the city is full of supernatural politics.

At the center of the early books is Olivia Hollingsworth, a vampire who has built a home and chosen family around the club. Olivia and her coven try to protect their people while living under the rules of a larger vampire society. That job gets harder when murders, old enemies, and uneasy alliances begin pushing their way into the city.

Every book gives another couple the spotlight, while the members of the coven remain part of the larger story. Tall, Dark, and Vampire pairs Olivia with NYPD detective Doug Paxton, a man tied to her past in a way neither of them can easily explain. Their connection introduces the series idea of bloodmates, rare bonds that cut through centuries of loss, disbelief, and supernatural rules.

The city never lets anyone relax for long.

Later books follow the coven's younger and more restless members, including Maya Robertson in Vampire Trouble, Sadie Pemberton in Vampires Never Cry Wolf, and Trixie LaRoux in The Good, the Bad, and the Vampire. Their stories add sentries, werewolves, gargoyles, witches, and dangerous secrets to the vampire setting. The romances are connected, but each couple faces its own problem and can carry a book's main emotional arc.

New York matters here. The clubs, streets, police work, and crowded supernatural community give the series an urban feel, while The Coven acts as a place where characters can argue, regroup, and protect one another. It is not a cozy world, but it does have the warmth of a found family looking after its own.

The tone is fast, sexy, and action-minded. Romantic tension shares space with investigations, threats to the coven, and the challenge of bringing old supernatural groups into some kind of peace. Vampires and werewolves do not always have a reason to trust each other, which makes every new connection a possible complication.

Begin with Tall, Dark, and Vampire. It introduces Olivia, Doug, The Coven, and the vampire world that anchors the rest of the series.
