Eeeeh, vampires à la Rhiannon Frater? Yes please!
This vampire anthology gives us vampiric tales from the vengeful to the romantic. Divided in 3 parts, we've got a good bunch of unique short stories that sticks with the classic vampire beliefs. The first part's stories are very short but they're fun; perfect to get you in the mood - like those little preluding mini movies in Pixar films. Although these ones aren't so cutesy. I mean - coming from Rhiannon and all.

Vampire tales of loneliness, revenge and what love means.
Frater's superb characterization continues to thrill me, though now I'm a little scared of how she's able to so exquisitely bury inside the hearts and minds of vile predators and abusers and paint them in all their terrible glory. It's not often that stories are told from the villain's perspective, especially ones that I actually appreciate, but these I did.

There's something irresistibly hypnotic about Rhiannon Frater's writing. Evocative, dark, beautiful. While I won't be reading any of her zombie stories, as I don't care for the genre, I will definitely be seeking out more of her short stories. She has resuscitated my interest in vampires.
This was a great short story to read, I know that the author stated that some of these stories were from her pass....but still they were just fab!!!! I love the darkness in these books, the love, and the utter familiarity the book gives me. I will read more from this author!!!

Awesome! I am so looking forward to the sequels for Vampire Bride and Pretty when she kills. These short stories were very good, kinda like a layover until the actual flight.
Blood & Love and Other Vampire Tales is a short anthology all written by Rhiannon Frater. Each story is about vampires. The book is separated into 3 parts; each part is fronted by a very personal authors note. The first part is general vampire stories, the second part is ‘girl power’ revenge stories and the third part is all about love.
Despite a few typos this book was generally well written. I really liked the different mix of stories and enjoyed everyone. The authors notes were very infor...more
