Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite by Natalie C. Parker, Zoraida Córdova
3.0
Seven nights for dying - Tessa Graton - 1 star
I really didnt like this one. I failed to connect with the main character and all the mentions of sex made my eyes roll.
The Boys from Blood River - Rebecca Roanhorse - 3 stars
When this one started I was intrigued but the longer it went the more appeal it lost.
Senior year sucks - Julie Murphy - 3 stars
I quite liked this one. Likable main character and great chemistry between the girls.
The Boy and the Bell: Heidi Heilig - 4 stars - interesting premise and well-executed story
A guidebook for the newly sired desi Vampire - Samira Ahmed - 2 Stars - interesting format, I will give her that, but I didnt like the bitter undertone and I would appreciate explanation for some of the references
In Kind - Kayla Whaley - 3 stars - quite a strong story, but I was not a fan of its execution
Vampires Never Say Die: Zoraida Córdova & Natalie C. Parker - 4 stars - I liked the story and both of the main characters. Also the ending did not left me unsatisfied.
Bestiary: Laura Ruby - 4 stars - I liked the main character and her connection to animals. It was a story i would not mind reading more of.
Mirrors, Windows & Selfies: Mark Oshiro - 5 stars - I loved this one. It is about lonely young vampire, who is really special because he was born to two vampires. I really loved the blog format.
The House of Black Sapphires: Dhonielle Clayton - 4 stars - Why all the good ones feels like a start of a really interesting novel? I would love to read a book about black vampire family (with so many daughters it remind me of Pride and Prejudice).
First Kill: Victoria Schwab - 4 stars
Tale as old as time, story of vampire and a a hunter forming a strange kind of bond - deadly and passionate. I crave more now.
Overall - I really struggled through the first part of the book and I started to enjoy the most when it was ending. The last three stories were my type. This book once again reminded me that I did not liked anthologies but I keep reading them anyway. There are hidden gems in a big mass of suffering.
