Reviewed on Lili Lost in a Book
Night of the Living Dante takes place before Dante and Aurora meet, and I was super excited to read this little novella!
I do have to say that it was a lot of fun! I mean, hello! It's Dante, probably my favorite character in the entire series! And this novella made me realize exactly why I love him so much: he is A LOT like Dean Winchester (granted, Dean isn't as happy-go-lucky as Dante... not anymore, at least *sobs*)!
There was also talk of moose, but that's beside the point ;)
If you are a huge Dante fan like myself, than this is a must-read for you! It's a lot of fun, I promise!

"Pie. Yum. Even better. Any night where Dante could do all three--kill vamps, get laid, and eat pie--was an epic win." -Dante
"Nothing like blood, death, and sex." -Dante

I absolutely adore Dante, so of course I was excited to read Night of the Living Dante! It's a super duper short, yet satisfying peek at Dante in action! Not that kind of action, pervert! He's on a mission with his previous partner, Janine. They're far off into the woods where some vampires are hanging out. Killing is definitely on the brain, and Dante may have the other type of action in mind too for when they're done. While we do get some of that amazing Dante humor, I do wish this had been in first person POV, so we could really get into his head. I'm sure he had a lot of great things going on in there that he wasn't saying out loud!

A little more proof that the author must be out of character ideas because she is going to milk every character and subplot to death. Reading this story actually wasted precious time for zero entertainment.

Not quite sure why this book is so late in the series, but I'm glad I got to take a brief look into Dante's life before Aurora entered.

A good introduction to Dante. Nothing about Aurora Sky, but Janine is interesting. Their mission is partially successful leaving more for future stories.
Action-packed. Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Scary. Tragic. Wonderful characters.

Pointless narrative obviously intended to introduce characters of questionable interest
Competently written, this sequence of events (I hesitate to call it a story) stirs little interest in its outcome or the characters involved.

I LOVE the Aurora Sky series and have already pre-ordered the finale (I am both excited to read it and saddened to say farewell to what have become such GOOD friends at the same time).
In Night of the Living Dante we are first introduced to the dashing and smooth-talking boy next door, but sex-charged superman that you just never know WHAT to expect from. That is one of the best things about Dante, he is all cuddly and mellow, sweet and charming in one breathe and in the next he is a hot as fire and dripping with sensuality stud-muffin that knows and/or respects no boundaries He is simultaneously chivalrous and seductively exploitive, you never know if he is playing an angle or being genuine in the most deep and empathetic of ways. Getting to KNOW Dante is an adventure in itself, but one worth taking and he takes on a depth of character that is all the more appealing the deeper you "Delve into Dante's Depths".

Since Dante happens to be my favorite character in the Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter series I was so excited to find out Nikki Jefford released a book from Dante'so point of view. Of course I loved everything about this book. I really liked hearing what Dante thought about things as well as how his relationship started with Janine. Don't miss out on this book in the series it's full of hilarious Dante!

A quick read, it is less than the 24 pages it claims to be, many of those are ads for other great books.
This story is a glimpse into one of Dante's missions before he met Aurora. He's just a fun-loving guy who loves his work: killing vampires.
Third person, the book is still told from Dante's point-of-view so you get to see a lot more about the way he thinks.
This is a great additional piece for the series.

Way too short! I don't get this. I know it's free, but why bother putting such a short book out? There are so many other back stories about Dante I'd like to know: his snowboarding accident, when he was held hostage, his time at boot camp. Why not put together a book of them all? Also, the scope of this narrative was very limited and unsatisfying, I didn't get a glimpse into Dante's mind, it was like I was still observing him from the outside.

Very short and a bit of a disappointment.
This really could have been longer, more fitting for the series. Red was perfect, this fell short.
Oh yes, now I also feel Dante just is not a nice guy.

Not like this novella was bad...much. I just can't stand Dante...although reading this makes me wonder about him and Aurora. Not sure really the purpose of this though. The last few novellas made us understand Valeria and Noel. This one is basically a horny, blood thirsty Dante out on a mission.

An incident to help us like Dante less
This "volume 4.5" of the Aurora Sky series feels more like an incident cut from one of the books as being too inconsequential to take the space. Dante and Janine go on a semi-successful mission then go home. Yawn.

It was a short story about Dante and oh my do I love it!! Wow I wish this book would have been longer to spend more time with Dante.
If you like Vampire Hunter Aurora Sky is the series for you.

Too short to be much of any story. It was barely a chapter in the other books.

I love this series! This is a short novella which is a great Segway into the latest book, Whiteout. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Very little novella but was ok.

This book was really short so it was hard to get a good rating on it. It wasn't bad but it really didn't provide anything extra to what I already knew about Dante.

Don't bother with this one. it's too short and doesn't tell you a thing about Dante.
January 28, 2016
Nice but tooooooo short, I just want way more than that :(

Night of the Living Dante
This is just a quick, little, Dante story. I enjoyed it but there wasn't much to it. Good writing and a character I enjoy.

This was ok. It doesn't really add to the story and offers a really tiny glimpse to Dante's trip mentioned in book 1.
