Was okay. I have read the dark ones and fixing to re-read. Noelle was okay, but I really don't like her for some odd reason. I think the best was the middle, Molly Harper's story. The last was okay. I have to read the one before this to get a good idea of the world.

Shades of Gray- 3 stars
New to the Dark Ones world and Katie MacAlister, I had no idea what was in store for me. Shades of Gray is entertaining with it's quirky characters and intriguing world. I definitely felt like a beginner trying get the lingo down but it in no way detracts from the storyline. Fun and flirty with a side of weird, Noelle is a complete surprise to the Dark One lurking in The Abbey. And I find myself surprisingly fond of the little nun...
Undead Sublet- 3 stars
Just when you think you have it all figured out, your prodhce starts talking and you find yourself on a "vacation." Chef Tess isn't able to find the humor in Vaudeville veggies but I'm sure you can. This delightful little appetizer, Undead Sublet, is the kind of introduction to Half-Moon Hollow that doesn't require a five course commitment.
Vampires and paranormal delights abound. A bake off that in no way has bakery items. A fued that would impress any mischievous child, any quite a few who claim to be adulfs too. UNDEAD SUBLET is a fun diversion, a sexy distraction, and a great way to make newbies new neighbors in Half-Moon Hollow.
Out With a Fang-4 stars
Though Im a Half-Moon Hollow fan, I found Out With a Fang even more entertaining. This second chance romance is full of fun. The unusual circumstances and history make it all kinds of awkward. It also makes it sexy, sweet, and worth a second licking. (Yes. Licking!)

I enjoyed these three novellas featuring the Dark Ones, Half-Moon Hollow, & Midnight Liaisons series. I read these novellas a long time ago way before I started reviewing and I remembered a little of what was going on. It was nice to re-read them. It made me want to re-read the Dark Ones series and to read more of the Half-Moon Hollow series. The Midnight Liaisons novella in this anthology was a new to me author/series. It didn’t impress me enough to want to read more in the series.
Shades of Gray (Dark Ones #10.5) by Katie MacAlister - Rated: 3.5 Stars
It’s been awhile since I read the Dark Ones series. This novella was fun and I’m thinking I might go back and re-read the series.
From what I remember in the series Noelle had a Dark One and is a Beloved, but it turned out she wasn’t that Dark One’s Beloved and her X feel for her roommate instead. In this novella she feels rejected and when she gets another chance at finding love in Grayson she’ll do what she can to protect and keep him.
Even if you haven’t read the series the author does a good job of explaining what a Drak One is and all the steps in the joining process for Beloveds.
Shades of Gray was a sweet and fun read.
Undead Sublet (Half-Moon Hollow #2.5) by Molly Harper - Rated: 4 Stars
I’ve just started to get back into the Half-Moon Hollow series. It’s light humor, fun, and enjoyable. I like Ms. Harper’s humor.
In the Undead Sublet we have Tess a human and a chef. She’s overworked herself and other areas of her life aren't going so well, so she ends up taking a vacation to Half-Moon Hollow. Then there's Sam her unexpected roommate in the home she rents. These two don’t hit it off, but eventually they both find healing and what they need in each other. I love how Tess ends up falling in love with the town and starts to build an exciting future there, when she didn’t have plans to stay. Sam I loved him. He was sweet and kept Tess on her toes.
Undead Sublet was a humorous, sweet, fun and enjoyable read.
Out with a Fang (Midnight Liaisons #2.2) by Jessica Sims - Rated: 3 Stars
This was a new to me author and series. We get a second chance love story.
Well Ruby is a shifter and hasn't been able to find a date since she broke up with her X. Deep down she still loves him, but humans and supernaturals can’t date, one nights sure, but no permanent relationships allowed. What does she do, but turn to a dating agency and go on a blind date. Things get weird and unusual at the get go.
This was a fast-paced story. The second chance at love comes quickly and they fall into bed fast. The vampires featured in this novella aren’t new. They are the dead ones with no beating hearts and can’t be out in the sun. All that typical vampire lore.
Out with a Fang was just ok.

I enjoyed the all three stories and this was the first time that I had read anything from the three authors and I was pleasantly surprised. I am looking forward to the author's other books and I would recommend this book to any paranormal romance reader!!

I enjoyed all three stories but then I've read the series they belong to and I think that some of the stories are better standalone novellas than others.
I don't know how enjoyable the Dark Ones story by Katie MacAlister would be without the rest of the series- If you've read the series you'll want to read this to know how Noelle's story ends but if not it does depend on you having a fairly decent idea of the backstory. It was funny but I'm not sure I actually liked Gray.
The Half Moon Hollow Story by Molly Harper does stand up well on it's own- it's got all her classic humour and is a really fun read and as we have two totally new characters introduced it makes sense on it's own.
The Midnight Liaison story by Jesica Sims is a quick fun read and it doesn't matter that much if you've read any of the other stories or not.

My rating and review are only based on Undead Sublet by Molly Harper. I'm not familiar with the other series, but I plan to come back and read them once I am.
Now, as for Undead Sublet, it's probably not much of a surprise that I loved it, given how much I've loved everything else by Molly Harper.
I was thrilled to see familiar faces, but I also really enjoyed meeting some new characters. Poor work-a-holic Tess cracked me up. Funnily enough, I had asparagus for dinner tonight and thought of this book while I was cooking.
I liked Sam, too. He was a bit broodiness, but he was such a prankster. His and Tess's first meeting was hilarious. Next time I fear I'm in danger, I'm grabbing the wok!
I really enjoyed the interactions between Sam and Tess. It was a great back and forth, but I mostly enjoyed seeing Tess rediscover herself again.
It was a great addition to the world of Half Moon Hollow, and I hope the characters will show up in other books as well.
