Blood in the Rain 2: Nineteen Stories of Vampire Erotica
These scorching hot erotic vampire short stories will transport you into new and exciting vampire realms.
These blood-sucking, soul-sucking creatures of the night continue to turn us on--no matter how many incarnations they take, no matter how many worlds they inhabit, no matter how many ways they kill. Or suck and fuck. The variety of vampires and their hot, wet, sexy selves continue to entertain and delight us.
This collection features vampires from ancient Sumer and Crete, modern tales set in airports and circuses, and dark futures with post-apocalyptic world-ending viruses. You'll find some stories by well-known authors such as Andrea Dale, Michael M. Jones, Jessica Amanda Salmonson, and Elizabeth Schechter, as well as a host of new writers.
Some stories are outright hilarious, others bittersweet. Some stories are super-explicit, others moderately erotic. We've included a wide range of pairings and even a couple of mEnage A trois. As befits a well-explored archetype, our vampires range from soulless to tortured self-loathing creatures. Some die in sunlight, others not so much.
Savor each story one bite at a time, or devour the collection whole. These tales are sure to entice and ensnare you, whatever your kink or inclination!290 pages, Kindle Edition

I received a free copy of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I appreciated the gender fluidity and creative license many of the authors used.
What I had the greatest problem with was the choppy, unfinished nature of the stories. Even for a collection of short stories, I found little depth and couldn't connect with any of the stories. I really wish I had enjoyed them more, as they're intended to be fun, but I just couldn't get into them.

** I have only read Dale Cameron Lowry's offering, Sweeter Than Blood. **
Sweeter Than Blood
POV: 1st person, present tense
Heat Rating: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow! That was one hot little number!
I love that it's told in 1st so that we get that really visceral connection to Keith. He's a sweet, if lonely and conflicted, guy and a nearly turned vampire. The struggles he goes through are nicely explained and explored throughout his thoughts and experiences. Most of all, though I wasn't sure how it was going to end, I really loved his connection and relationship with John. The way it was shown to be both physical, in the past, and still emotionally close, in the present, was great to see. Although Keith was furious with him for what he'd done, they had never turned their backs on one another.
Andres was an interesting character, since he seemed to perfect at first. At the same time, despite this being a world of vampires, the way they interact and the eventual outcome is so realistic. It's so typical for someone to get in over their head and expect one thing only to get another. But, on the other hand, it's also part of human nature to see what we want to see and I love how that was explored here.

““I wish you wouldn't be so cold. We're in the same boat. Why not be friends instead of just sire and spawn?”
In spite of myself, I give his hand a soft squeeze. “Be patient. After a few hundred years my resentment might fade enough that I can look at you without wanting to punch you in the face.””
