tyler_j's review against another edition

3.25

35 stories. 3.14 average but feels like it should be lower...in my updates I mention each story. I count the one dnf as a 2 star because "it wasn't for me" and I tried.

This anthology, while I did really enjoy some of the stories, sadly mostly made me feel "meh".

Hit and miss

Some great stories and other weren’t a good mix of different vampire stories. So I found too weird for my liking.
