-The Blood of the Angels-Selena Kitt-5 Stars
The Blood of Angels is a story that follows the world of Zeph, a fate fairy who follows mankind around in order to line up fateful events in humans' lives. She finds herself more and more drawn into human actions and when she meets one that can see her, she uses her annual wish so that she can experience what it's like to be human for one day. I really enjoyed this story. It was very sweet experiencing everything through Zeph's eyes, especially once she became human.
-Deadly Captive-Bianca Sommerland-1 Star
Lydia becomes conscious completely chained up and not remembering anything. The first thing she sees is Joe. This story should have had a warning on it. It starts right off with a situation I don’t care to read about and gets worse from there. I did manage to finish the story out of morbid curiosity but the story really wasn’t for me.
-The Witch's Vampire-Jami Brumfield-2 Stars
Just after her mother succumbs to cancer, Sophie Waters is told that not only is she a witch, but she is to be the town’s next witch doctor. When she takes off in despair, she runs into Giovanni Mancuso, the vampire prince. I started out liking this story, but the farther I got, the less I liked it. I didn’t like the different character switched Sophia seemed to have. I also didn’t like how the POVs changed from paragraph to paragraph. I made it through most of the story, but when the Greek mythology got changed up, I had to stop.
-Bite Marks Rebecca Royce-5 Stars
George is a writer whose determined that Trudy, a bartender at a local bar, is to be his future wife. If only she’d finally go on a date with him. Just as she finally accepts his request, he is bitten by a vampire and left for dead. I really liked this story. It was very fast-paced and kept my interest. Trudy is a real spit-fire. I especially liked her characters. She’s a no-nonsense type of person and finally decides to take what she wants.
I read 4 of the stories in this anthology. I loved two of them and really disliked two of them. That’s odd for me. Usually I tend to like most every story, but that wasn’t the case this time. Because of that, I haven’t finished the anthology. I do highly recommend the two stories that I loved.

I received a ARC in return of a honest review.

When I saw this title available on Netgalley I knew I needed to try it out. A short novella, that only consists of 85 pages, but I really liked the blurb so I jumped right into this one. The voice of the author in this story was addicting, I really liked the way she just sucked me right into the story. However I had a hard time loving this one.With the story being so short, it ends way too quickly, and just when it starts to get into the story it ends...a cliffhanger folks.,. and one I was surprised by. I am guessing the next book will continue right where this one leaves off. Even though this is a romance, there isn't much of that in this one. I am guessing this first installment sets up the story for later books. We do see a bit of chemistry between Nicholas and Susan, but there is only a hint of it, but I did enjoy seeing how Grant really delves deeper into the characters. Even though I had a few issues with this one, I did enjoy it and was a short yet fun past time. Looking forward to the second one and hope it comes out...soon!! A Story that will pique your curiosity and keep you hanging at the end and hungering for more!!

 

"My name is Eve, and I am a drama queen.
I don't mean like any old garden-variety teen throwing a tantrum, oh no. I am a Drama Queen, with big initial capital letters and curlicues on top. I work hard at it, and I resent anybody lumping me in with a bunch of wannabe poseurs who haven't even qualified in Beginning Pouting, much less Champion Fit Throwing."

 

 

Plot.

 

The story is told from Eve's perspective and it depicts an interesting episode form her life.

 

There is a new vampire in town and she is called Gloriana. She is beautiful, attractive and everyone seem to notice it. And I mean everyone. Including Michael.

 

Eve noticed how Michael acts strangely when he is around her and that there is just something about this vamp that doesn't sit well with her. It was an instant dislike on both sides, Eve's and Gloriana's.

 

Even though Michael assured Eve that he only loves her and would never do anything like that (as in sex with Gloriana) to harm her on the day of the welcoming ceremony for Gloriana, he fails to live up (pun not intended) to that promise.

 

Gloriana just wooshed him to the dance floor and left the party with him. Can Eve take her man back or will it end right then and there?

 

 

Review.

 

"The saga started out a normal day—don't they all? I mean, surely one morning back there in prehistoric times a dinosaur woke up, yawned, chewed some coffee beans, and thought his day was going to be dead boring, just before a comet slammed into his neighborhood."

 

 

I fail to see why people dislike this short story. Eve wasn't a drama queen after all despite the title of the story. Whereas she is in almost all the other books and people love her there (I did from the beginning but then her crying and whining cooled me off).

 

Eve loves Michael, there is no doubt about it. And he loves her just as much. And they seem to have a good relationship despite him being undead and her crying every few minutes.

 

 

"Hi, handsome," I purred. "See something you like?"
"Always," he said, and gave me just a flicker of that devastating Michael Glass grin. "And the coffee looks good, too."
"You are suave. I've always said so."
"And you're strange. But I love strange.

 

When Eve noticed Michael's behavior towards Gloriana who looks like a sex kitten from hell (read the story) of course she felt jealous and inadequate. I bet it is really difficult for Eve to measure up all those flawless vamps who had centuries of practice on making themselves look beautiful.

 

 

He also spotted Gloriana, who was leaning her chin on her tiny little hand, looking at Oliver with luminous, big eyes.
"Wow," he said. This was not the thing you want to hear out of a boyfriend, believe me.

 

And Eve is right. Of course you are going to smirk on a comment like that. Who wouldn't. Most of the women are insecure deep down and when someone makes a comment like that on a woman in front of you, you die a little inside. It's kind of involuntary.

 

But Eve was right. Gloriana was nothing as she seemed and she did try to do something vile. Which included poor Michael. So Eve's instinct was spot on.

 

As much as it was frustrating for Eve, I think it was worse for Michael. He couldn't help it. And he's got Eve mad. And his friends looking at him strangely. So he has to his best to show Eve what a good boyfriend he is. And trust me... he definitely is. A model one. Deserving of a trophy.

 

 

"Promise me you'll marry me," he said. "Promise me that you're not going to leave me. I need you, Eve, I've always needed you and I always will. Please. Promise me."

 

 

"You looked like the sexiest woman in the world."
"Well, in fairness, I am the sexiest woman in the world."
"And you're always right."
"You are so brilliant to recognize that."
