"Highland Blood" by Hannah Howell-4 stars.
Definitely her best work yet, no doubt. It ended a bit abruptly, but I loved the red-haired "witch" (healer) who saved and tried to rear a vampire halfling. And after a couple years, when she realized he needed more than she could give, she tried to find the MacNachton clan...and did. But not before she got chased down by the Hunters (humans who feel they're doing God's work by exterminating the vampires). That's when our hero stepped in and saved her and the little boy. You can guess the rest :)
Sweet story, great action.

Alexandra Ivy's "Taken by Darkness"-5 stars
Fantastic addition to her series. Anyone who has read her Guardians of Eternity series will love this. It's about Dante's brother, but this takes place in the 1800s.
Very cool story about a vampire who meets a woman who is his mate, but he's in denial about it so he cavorts in Italy for 6 months before returning to London.
She is the only woman who has ever said no to him, and he intends to persuade her otherwise.
Love the story-loved it!

"Immortal Dreams" by Kaitlin O'Riely-4 stars
I loved this story. I absolutely loved the vampire still looking for his long lost soul mate. Beautifully written, and I will definitely read this author again.
So why not a 5 star you ask? I'll tell you.
At the end, Grace's controlling and tyrant of a mother-in-law never "got hers" so-to-speak. She had Grace committed for crying out loud! And Grace and Phillip just escaped like thieves in the night. It was soo unsatisfying an ending I bumped the story down a full star! grr...I'd have LOVED her MIL to have at least been kicked out. When Grace actually stood up to Mary, I was like "Finally! This is what we've been waiting for!" But the story itself and the love was sweet and beautiful.

Catherine Awww, too bad you didn't get your awaited comeuppance.


Laura the Highland Hussy I was really mad!

*spoiler*


They killed the evil doctor and just took off to Paris! She'd just told the evil MIL that it was her house and that the evil woman only stayed at Grace's good will, and then they bailed for the continent! grr...

Catherine Breathe with me. In...Out...In...Out. :P


Laura the Highland Hussy lol...I know I know...they aren't real, it's just a book...grumble grumble :)


message 5: by Catherine (new)

Catherine No, I get the exact same way. I have been known to hit things with the book in the hopes that the stupid characters will feel it.


Laura the Highland Hussy lol-that's awesome! I'm more of a throw across the room kind of girl :)


message 7: by Catherine (new)

Catherine I can't do that! I have to beat something soft or at least semi soft so that I don't damage the book. I want to be able to trade it!


Laura the Highland Hussy true, I get that...maybe I should be better about my books :)


Greta is Erikasbuddy loves the cover!!


Wendy (V-Lishous) Great review Laurie, I've all but given up on the short stories after a couple of books that were just awful. I like them to check our different authors, and I'm the type of person that HAS to finish a book. (just recently stopped doing that) I too have been know to throw a book. I will be checking this one out.

@Greta,, I agree... That's a yummy cover!!!


Laura the Highland Hussy thanks, Vhalkyrie (awesome screen name!)
I have been stuck with crappy anthologies that I got for just one story and the rest were just blah. I hate that! It's like on one hand, I'm excited to try new authors, but man, on the other I'm sick of crappy shorts! Or shorts that are from series and are not stand alone.

This was definitely one of the better anthologies out there.


Wendy (V-Lishous) Thanks Laurie, I love your name tooo. There's just something HOT about highlanders. I'm going to pick this one up this weekend. I've had some anthologies that it seemed like one of the stories would never end! That was because it sucked! The really good stories are so short. IT's just wrong!!!!
