Lovebites & Sunguns E L Siegelstein

Boy meets girl, they fall in love, get married, and dedicate their lives to policing the undead as operatives of the unnamed Order enforcing the Deal. What's the Deal? The Deal is the monsters stay quiet and stay hidden, don't mess with anybody and nobody'll mess with them. So when the mummies get up and walk out of the museums, when the trolls under the Central Park bridges get hungry, when the mer-people living in the East River start harassing the ferries, Nathan and Genevieve Duncan are the people to call. She's a rocker, a bassist and a fitness buff, whose deepest, darkest secret is that she secretly loves Regency drama. He's a runner and an scientist, a sucker for scary movies who just happens to be working on a potential cure for werewolf-ism when new wolf Larry winds up at their door (well, after they go out and capture him with silver-tipped tranquilizer darts when he's rampaging through Midtown). It'd be enough work to keep anyone busy, but the task is complicated with the arrival in the city of a new vampire, one who's read too much Marx and Anne Rice and has a few ideas about scrapping the Deal and starting a vampire revolution.
