This is a paranormal anthology with 4 stories. I only liked two of the stories and didn't finish the other two.

"Shadow of the Moon" by Sherrilyn Kenyon is about Werewolf Fury Kattalakis who is searching for the person who attached a Lion Shapeshifter. He finds Angelia, a woman who grew up as his best friend before she betrayed him years ago. Now Angelia is part of a group who kills shapeshifters as revenge for her parents death.

I found this story interesting and really liked the secondary characters, but had a hard time following some of the terminology since I haven't read the other stories in Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. I needed a glossary. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

"The Story of Son" by J.R. Ward finds attorney Claire Stroughton visiting an elderly client. When the client tells her she should meet her son, she thinks that she is matchmaking. But later she wakes up in a dungeon bedroom with a strange man. The man apologizes to her, then proceeds to bite her neck. As Claire gets to know the man, she learns that he is the vampire son of her client, and has been locked in the basement for over 50 years. It doesn't take long for Claire to fall for him and plan to break then both out of dungeon.

I really enjoyed this story. Michael is a great tortured hero and Claire is a smart heroine who has to figure out how to get them out of this situation. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

The other two stories in this book were boring and confusing. I didn't finish them. My overall rating for the book is 3.5 Stars, with two good stories and two wastes of time.
