Jessie: How was writing this in comparison to the Blue Bloods series? He's older now, and the ultimate insider - no longer the sarcastic outsider teen but one of the great men who run New York and the world beyond. Melissa: Oliver is now the head of the Coven and about to celebrate the years of peace and prosperity. I wanted to explore everyone's happily ever after - and show how complicated life after victory can be. Mimi Martin is back from the underworld and working at a Chelsea art gallery, Kingsley gets wrapped up in his old debauched life, and Oliver Hazard-Perry is the vampire king of New York. It follows the story of Ara Scott, a badass venator (vampire cop), tracking down a mortal girl's vampire killer, along with Edon Marrok, a down-on-his-luck wolf. Melissa: Sure! It picks up 10 years after the events of Gates of Paradise and tells the story of what happened to the vampires who chose to stay on earth after winning the Great War against Lucifer. Jessie: Welcome to HEA, Melissa! We're so excited about Vampires of Manhattan. She's also the amazing author of the Blue Bloods series as well as the Witches of East End (Netlifx, anyone?) and Heart of Dread series. Today, Melissa de la Cruz joins HEA to talk about her New Blue Bloods Coven book, Vampires of Manhattan, and where our favorite characters are now.
