Series background & context

Strange Neighbors opens the door to a Boston brownstone where the residents are not exactly ordinary. The building becomes home to shapeshifters, a werewolf, a vampire, witches, and other people with reasons to keep their identities quiet. It is a paranormal romance series with the feel of an apartment-building comedy, except the neighbor downstairs may actually have fangs.

The first book, Strange Neighbors, follows Merry MacKenzie, a nurse looking for independence and a new life in Boston. Jason Falco owns the brownstone and has the kind of public profile that already draws attention: he is an all-star baseball pitcher. He is also a shapeshifter. Jason is used to being wanted, but Merry is wary of his playboy image and not eager to hand over her heart.

The building has no chance of staying quiet.

In The Werewolf Upstairs, Konrad Wolfensen sees himself as a protector of Boston, even if his methods include breaking into businesses to expose weak security systems. His trouble with the law puts him in contact with Roz Wells, a public defender who is already tired of strange cases and strange men. Their romance develops as Konrad's good intentions and Roz's skepticism keep colliding.

The Vampire Next Door turns to Sly, a vampire and vigilante who has spent years keeping a careful distance from romance. An injury to one of his fangs sends him to Morgaine, a witch who is afraid of the dark and struggling with fears of her own. Both have experience with loss and isolation, so their story has a gentler thread beneath the series' usual humor.

Boston matters throughout the series. The old brownstone gives the characters a shared home, a reason to cross paths, and plenty of opportunities for secrets to slip out. The central couples change from book to book, but the neighbors remain part of the fabric of the story. Their friendships, arguments, and interference make the setting feel lived in.

Everybody has something unusual behind their door.

Start with Strange Neighbors, then read The Werewolf Upstairs and The Vampire Next Door. The books each focus on a new romance, but the community and character connections build in order. Readers who like contemporary paranormal romance with found-family energy, city life, and a steady supply of supernatural mishaps should feel right at home.
