We aren't a we without all of us.
Chaos reigns in The Sleepless City and it’s really beginning to piss Detective Jonas Forge off.
He’s separated from his soulmate, Blair Turner. A separation he fears might be permanent. Nothing is going right. It’s as if the universe is conspiring against him. A long closed off door buried deep within his psyche cracks open when a turn of events he never saw coming flips his world upside down. There’s a monster behind that door and he’s not sure where the monster leaves off and he begins.
Hallucinations grip the town and everyone in it, threatening to tear the family in Boggs’s Castle to shreds. The only way forward is to bare all to each other. While Forge and Declan confront horrors from their shared past, they all learn a terrible truth about vampires—one not even imagined in their worst nightmare.
Demons lurk around every corner, seeking to cause havoc. Unless the tenuous thread woven between Blair and Forge is strong enough to pull Forge to safety, those demons might just be his demise. Can they turn it all around and control a monster in order to defeat a demon?
If you like imperfect heroes with tarnished pasts who don’t know how to quit, then you’ll love Shifting Chaos by Elizabeth Noble, the action-packed, emotional conclusion to The Sleepless City.

Blair yanked him into the garage. “Yeah. She runs a homeless shelter for teens. She’ll put everything to good use. And I really don’t want most of it anyway.” He pressed the door opener and the garage door slid down drenching them in cool darkness. The only bit of light was from a small, round window in the back wall and a door opening to the house.
Forge dropped his duffle and grabbed Blair’s arm, turning him to face Forge. Blair’s arms wound around Forge’s neck, grinning when Forge backed him up to the wall and pinned him there. Forge claimed his mouth, slipping his tongue between Blair’s lips.
When they broke their kiss, Blair licked Forge’s neck and nipped his earlobe. “I missed everyone so much,” Blair panted. “Ben, Lucas, Simon, even Declan.” He grabbed Forge’s belt and jerked him even closer. “I missed hearing the lake at night.”

Forge leaned back far enough to pull Blair’s thin shirt up and over his head then nipped at his jaw. “Yeah?”
“And Moose. I really missed Moose.” Blair moaned and tilted his head back, giving Forge complete access to his neck of which he took full advantage, tongue and teeth skimming along Blair’s throat and over his Adam’s apple. “Oh, tin man I missed you, my big, badass, vampire cop most of all.”
Forge stopped and leaned back. “Did you just quote the Wizard of Oz at me?”
Blair exhaled a laugh. “There was a movie marathon while I was packing last night.” He slipped his arms around Forge’s waist, shoved his knee between Forge’s thighs and stepped away from the wall, reversing their positions. Getting Forge’s shirt unbuttoned, Blair’s tongue blazed a trail from his collar bone to his navel then up to a nipple while he kicked his sandals off. “It was a political commentary,” Blair’s fangs skimmed Forge’s nipple, he nipped gently. “Oz is the…”
Forge got his hands between them and unzipped Blair’s boardshorts. “I read it long before you did. When it was first published, actually.”

on http://www.elizabeth-noble.com/shifting-chaos-book-4.html:Still, in the end, this was a phenomenal story! I’m so glad we got to see the boys again. It was great to see the banter and bickering between them but also for the characters to recognize that even though they’re mates, that doesn’t automatically mean they know everything about each other so it was interesting to see the dynamics between the group. I absolutely adored watching it play out. I hope this isn’t the end of the series because I really want more of them!
