This was an anthology of erotic vampire stories written by various authors. As with most anthologies, there were hits and misses. The first few stories were just ok, but each story was different and my feelings for each varied. I would recommend anyone that likes these genres to give it a read.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book
I was a little disappointed in this book as I felt several of the short stories where left unfinished and written purely to be a teaser to each author. I can say the book has at lest 1 story for everyone's taste, so it has a broad section of everything from type of vampire to erotic level. This however means you will for sure find a few stories you don't like, mine was the two male vampires and their body grooming. I will say almost every one of the stories was well written and I felt like they had a good editor. I would have not been happy paying full price for the book, but it was nice that they publisher provided for the review and worth picking up on discount if you really like vampires. So to kind of recap I felt some stories I really got into, others I started to skip pages due to being bored or grossed out, and finally several felt several stories are unfinished and waiting for a stand alone book.
I was expecting to love this collection of short stories. But I really didn't. In fact, I was kind of bored for most of them. While they each were varying degrees of interesting, none of them really sucked me into the story. And did I really need three pages or more of reading about a vampire giving some dude a shave? No. I didn't. So I skipped those. I did think they were all well written (except for "Light Play" because that one seemed choppy and awkward to me) with good characters though. Overall, this wasn't bad, but I guess it just wasn't quite what I was hoping for.
The stories in this anthology consisted of so many different mixes that it would not be hard to find some that interest and excite you , The stories were magical, paranormal, sexy, and fun but they seemed to be over with way to fast, I wish a few of the stories would have been much longer. I look forward to reading more books by these authors. Thank you NetGalley and Ariel Jade for allowing me to read this in advance and write a honest review.
