Helpful Score: 3
This book is a m/m vampire erotica anthology. 4 short stories all well written but poorly edited (some grammar and spelling errors). These errors were occasionally distracting but did not take away from the content of the book.
Basic thoughts on each story:
The first story, called "Walk Through Fire", was very romantic, not erotic, but a short, sweet love story about 2 vampires, very in love, separated by a demon for over 100 years, and what one of them does to end that separation.
The 2nd one, called "Dark Side of the Moon" was entertaining and had a bit more action then the rest, and the sex was hot. This one featured an injured vampire and a werewolf.
"Enthralled", the 3rd story was, by far, my favorite... romantic, sexy, really good characters. There were a few funny (ironic) parts, including the last line which really made me smile. It featured an ancient, jaded vampire and a young man who meet while the vampire is badly injured and the young man (Colin) is in the middle of a suicide attempt. This one was particularly well-written.
The 4th one, "Addicted" was my least favorite. 3/4 of the very short story was an argument between 2 lovers: one an ancient vampire who got high from feeding on the blood of a woman on drugs and his lover, a human man. A lot of pretty intense subjects were brought up during the fight, but it all just got resolved with a few (beautifully worded, I admit) compliments and apologies and sex.
End thoughts: I paid full price for this book and do not regret it. It is most definitely worth a credit. Those who will enjoy it most are fans of m/m erotica, and perhaps some open-minded vampire fans.
