A review by kathydavie
The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance by Trisha Telep
3.0
C.T. Adams & Cathy Clamp's "To Ease the Rage" was imaginative. Could be interesting as a series.
Keri Arthur's "Dreams" was ... eyyy...
Amanda Ashely's "Music of the Night" was lamely sweet. A fairy tale, sorry, vampire take on Phantom of the Opera.
Jenna Black's "Fangs for Hire" was imaginative but a little too obvious.
Karen Chance's "Day of the Dead" was interesting. Had a very different take on vampires in Mexico involving Mayan? culture.
Delilah Devlin's "Viper's Bite" was imaginative; I liked it.
Barbara Emrys' "A Temporary Vampire" had a different take on vampires. Might be interesting to follow her.
Sherri Erwin's "Fade to Black" did not inspire me to search her work out although she is an imaginative, good writer.
Colleen Gleason's "In Which a Masquerade Ball Unmasks an Undead" was a historical paranomal romance...duh...
Raven Hart's "Knowledge of Evil" was rather obvious.
Nancy Holder's "Vampire Unchained" is the apocalypse---vampire style. Good.
Dina James' "Play Dead"...duh...
Caitlin Kiernan's "Untitled 12" was...oh yuck. Also appeared in Frog Toes & Tentacles. It was still yuck. Her Ode to Edvard Much was irritating. Well-written, but too vague. Also appeared in Sirenia Digest #6.
Jenna Maclaine's "Righteous" was lame.
Alexis Morgan's "What's at Stake?" was imaginative, yet predictable.
Vicki Pettersson's "Remember the Blood" had a very different perspective. A bit on the creepy side.
Kimberly Raye's "Love Bites" was cute and predictable.
Oh gawd..dental paranomal adventures in "Overbite" by Savannah Russe.
Lilith Saintcrow's "A Stand-Up Dame" was good; very P. N. Elrod-ish. Her Coming Home was also good.
Susan Sizemore's "Dancing with the Star" was cute.
Rachel Vincent's "Midday Mangler Meets His Match" was excellent. Created a whole new world with vampires as the norm---going to school, having jobs, etc.
Shiloh Walker's "Hunter's Choice" was good; I'm hoping it's a series.
Rebecca York's "Sacrifice" was a lame-ass story. So juvenile.
Keri Arthur's "Dreams" was ... eyyy...
