Melissa de la Cruz bonus question

Why do vampires and werewolves go together so well?

I think it's just fun to have more than one supernatural creature, and while vampires stand in for sexy fun, the werewolves are about beastly fun. They make a great comparison, since vampires are supposed to be so inhumanly sophisticated, while the wolves appeal to our animal nature—they're out of control, and you know, furry. Furry is always fun.
