Description
His family ruined my life. Twice.
As a kid I had it all: three-car garage, heated pool, and a show pony to ride around on weekends. But the Colesons run Dallas, and they ran us straight into the trailers. It took me years and several missed meals in order to pull my family into a middle-class lifestyle.
And now it’s all crashing down. I thought she was a normal late-night client until she drained me of my blood next to a new massage table. Now I’m awake, and I’m hungry…and surrounded by Colesons. They tell me I’m a upyr, a vampire-like predator, destined to destroy everyone I love.
It sounds to me like I’ve got nothing left to lose.
I didn't seek revenge, not after my father's death or my sister's fall into addiction. I was too busy keeping my head afloat. But now that the opportunity has fallen into my lap? There's got to be something I can find on the inside that will destroy them for good. They’re upyr hunters, after all. It’s almost fate.
There's only one problem: Bennett Coleson.
He's ruthless; more shark than man. It shouldn't be hard to hate him. But there's something about him that's not quite like the other Colesons.
This girl has got to go.
I didn’t trust her Pollyanna act the minute she woke up in our basement. The newer the upyr, the more deadly their nature. I’ve seen sweet old ladies who looked like they were on their way to a bake sale devour a human before you could say the word ‘cupcake’.
Not to mention there’s something going on with the uyprs. They’re becoming more violent, turning more innocent people. And despite her new nature, Darby Trunnell didn’t choose to be like this. It’s our fault we didn’t catch the Dallas nest leader in time to prevent her from being Turned.
I move her into the family estate to keep track of her nefarious plans...which seem to be raising her young niece, paying for mother’s medical treatments, and reading my entire personal library.
Hell, I'd think she was a saint if she didn't look at me like that when no one else is around.
When the Ten Families demand I bring her to their summons, I have a choice: uphold my oath and the family traditions, or let her escape to live among her own kind.
There's only one problem: I want her for myself.

I thought this book was a pretty good book. I loved the concept based off of the blurb, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the story after I finished reading it. I loved the main character, the flow and style of the book, as well as the ending. I am curious to see what happens in future books as the ending did leave me with questions and wanting more (I do not think it was a cliffhanger, but some may interpret it that way). I don't think anyone would be severely disappointed after selecting this book as their next read.

What Happens in Dallas is the first book in the Texas Oathkeepers series by Juliet Holmes. This book brings a new take on the vampire mythology and I loved it!
This book is fast paced and a quick read! I was drawn in from the start and did not want to put it down! I found the characters to be fascinating and intriguing. The story was great, filled with suspense and drama! This book also made me smile, as there were some funny and heartwarming moments throughout. This book had a lot of depth.
I really enjoyed the dynamics of Darby and Bennett's relationship....vampire and hunter, overcoming family issues, incredible chemistry, you know...the good stuff!
If you love a good vampire romance, you should check out this book! I can't wait to see what will happen next in the Texas Oathkeepers series!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Loved reading the mesmerizing and spellbinding paranormal story. When Darby wakes up an upyr, she feels like a monster drinking blood to survive. Darby needs to get back to her life and work to support her niece and mother, but Bennett, a hunter, has her life in his hands. As Bennett struggles with his attraction for Darby, he's finding it harder and harder to do what he was trained to do. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and riveting must read. Can't wait to read the next story in the series!
