***This review is only for The Story of Son by JR Ward***
Now this is how you write a short story! I just read the most awesome short story by JR Ward, and I could just kick myself! I've had this book languishing on my TBR pile for 9 months! What was I thinking? Please, if you're a fan of Ward's BDB, do yourself a favor and read this little gem. It's only 90 pages long, but it packs a punch as only Ward can do.

Red Alert! Sexy supernaturals ahead!! If you're a paranormal fan, don't miss the "Dead After Dark" anthology with stories by a three well-known names in the paranormal romance genre and one newcomer to watch.
Sherrilyn Kenyon's story "Shadow of the Moon" is about the werewolf Fury and takes places in the Dark-Hunter world. Fury has never let himself get close to a woman because the only woman he ever loved turned on him when his heritage was revealed. Now that More...

~A MIXED BAG WITH A HIT FOR WARD FANS~
DEAD AFTER DARK contains 4 paranormal romance stories, with two from a couple of heavy-weight authors in the genre. This anthology was really hard for me to rate because the stories varied from 5 big stars to, okay to, couldn’t even finish. I would definitely recommend this to fans of JR Ward though, her contribution was excellent and by far the most complete as a stand alone short story.

Dead After Dark is an anthology with four PNR short stories by Sherrilyn Kenyon, JR Ward, Susan Squires and Dianna Love. Here’s my review for all the stories:
Shadow of the Moon – Sherrilyn Kenyon 1 star
Aaargggh what can I say? I'm really trying hard but miss Kenyon is doing a damn good job to make me NOT love her.
The story started out great. I liked the premise, I liked the bantering between the two clans. But then it all went downhill...

The Story of Son - 5 stars - contains some spoilers:
The Story of Son was my introduction into the Black Dagger Brotherhood world a few years ago. After reading Michael and Claire’s story, I had to run out and buy the entire series and it turned out to be my favorite PNR series of all time.

Technically, I only read the Kenyon story, but seeing as I have no desire to tackle the other contributions, I'm calling this book read. Enjoyed Fury's story. Of the WereHunters, the wolves have always been my favorites. This was a nice complement to Vane and Bride's story. I think Fang's story is coming soon. My only complaint is that the shorts always seem to be over before you get into them.

There’s a love-hate sort of “thing” I have going for Sherrilyn Kenyon’s novella Shadow of the Moon. On one hand there’s Fury, my (currently) favorite wolf of the Were-Hunter bunch. I have a thing for tall, dark, handsome, and brooding, so sue me. I have a bone to pick (excuse the pun) with Angelia. For the better part of the story I just wanted someone to kick her judgmental, arrogant, narrow-minded butt. In the end, she finally seemed to see reason, but still, she takes second place on my least

Of the four short stories in this anthology the one in which I originally bought the book was for Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Shadow of the Moon," which of course was amazing. The Were-Hunter short story of the Arcadian Were Angelia and Kattagarian Fury was an explosive story, which says a lot considering it was a short.
Oddly enough I was also impressed with J.R. Ward's short story "The Story of Son" as well as Susan Squires' "Beyond the Night." Both were amazin More...

I only read Fury's story by Sherrilyn Kenyon and The Story of Son by J.R. Ward.
Fury's story - the heroine was not likable in this story, she betrayed the hero twice in only a little over 100 pages. She spent centuries hating Fury's type of Were Hunter to the point of trying to kill Fury when she found out then allowing him to be tortured - then I am supposed to believe the last 10 pages where she suddenly realizes he is a good person and all Katagaria are not bad. Sorry but I needed More...

First, I had to read this book because Sherrilyn Kenyon chose to give us Fury's story here and I've been wondering about it since Bride and Vane's story. Also I can't help but love Kenyon and Ward's works so it was a must.
Secondly, because I knew I was likely to love Kenyon and Ward's stories the most I started with Squires and Love's stories which was a good decision on my part as Kenyon and Ward's stories ARE the best part of the book.

On Fury and Lia's story, "Shadow of the Moon": I was thoroughly disappointed Kenyon did not do a full-fledged story on Fury. I felt he and Lia connected WAY too soon after 60 pages of hatred and back story. It just didn't fit that she "accepted" him so readily. In fact, I really didn't like her much.

With four authors, it's no surprise that the quality of writing in this book varies widely.
The Sherrilyn Kenyon novella is tissue-thin, with barely even a plot to hold it together. Too many characters forced to be evil for evil's sake, too many characters forced to carry the idiot ball. It also requires at least some knowledge of her universe.

4 short stories. 2 great stories and 2 ok stories. My favorite was The Story of Son by J.R.Ward. This story was short but packed full information. Ward didn't waste a word. She made her point and boy did she make it. I loved Claire. She's smart, caring, with a soft spot for a beautiful, mistreated vampire. Son (or Michael which is what she names him) is splendid. What an amazing writer Ward is. I started reading this story on line on Borders site and was hooked. I had to find out what happened t

This was one of those books with different authors who write a short story and they group them together in one book. My favorite story was by J R Ward called "The Story of Son". Wow what a great story. Son is a vampire locked in his mothers basement. He has been locked there for years because mother was afraid he would hurt someone. She would get him a woman to feed off of once a year. No sex, just for feeding.

I haven't read any of her works but I didn't say I didn't appreciate her story for this book. For me, it was just an OKAY plot.
