Bite

A Good Book!

I liked it but I really liked Angela Knights story in the book. It was very thrilling and romantic.

Awful

I bought this book since Charlaine Harris wrote one of the stories. I love the Sookie Stackhouse series. I was very disappointed; not a single story I found interesting. I dislike each and every story in this book. I felt like tossing it in the trash after a few pages; the only reason I read it all the way through was because I was bored and had nothing else to read or do at the time. I will just stick the Sookie Stackhouse novels from now on.

Caroline was turned by a vampire into a witch with magical powers and immortality. She lives in Avalon in the mageverse where vampires and witches form a symbiotic relationship.

All five authors have a different take on the vampire mythos but that doesn¿t mean one story is better than another. This is one of the best vampire romance anthologies ever produced bringing back cult favorites like Anita Blake and Sookie. The stories by the other authors would make a great series............................... Harriet Klausner

Gotta love Laurelle!

Nice selection of short stories guaranteed to entertain-highly recommend.

Great first 2 chapters, but...

Ther first two chapters of this book are very good - the same quality you would expect from these famous writers. I LOVED and adored the chapter from Laurell K Hamilton. I cannot tell you how excited I was to get some insight into the goings-on that happened between Blue Moon and Obsidian butterfly. LKH writing was, as usual, palpable and you really could feel Anita's feelings. And, of course, it has a favourite character that makes a memorable appearance.

But, Charlaine Harris's chapter can be found in her OWN book of short stories. I have to admit I was a little disappointed to buy a book with a story I'd already read elsewhere.

Angela Knight's chapter was too short to move as fast as it did. Probably my least favourite chapter (no offense!).

Vickie Taylor's chapter was interesting. Again, a little fast, but at least it layed some ground work to make the story not feel too rushed. There was really nothing for development or insight with the 'bad guys,' but at least the 'good guys' had a little more background and character development.

MaryJanice Davidson's chapter was probably the best of the three 'unknown' writers. She had pretty good character development, good background, great backstory, and the ending, though a bit predictable, was good.

Fun Book

While I felt that there are some in between stories for a lot of the other series for some of the authors, like Laurall and Charlene... the stories were fun.

I didn't like any of the stories--what a waste of money.

I am no longer buying anthologies because I like one (or none) of the stories. Buying this book was a waste of money.

Bite sinks teeth in!

Liked all of the authors but Harris was best in my opinion. She has a way of pulling you into the charachters feelings and thoughts.

Another Great Collection

I just had to let you know that this is a nice collection of stories by really excellent authors. Even short as they are, each one is really a story you can get into. Usually there's one or two dogs in a collection like this, but I enjoyed ever last word of this collection. I hope you do too!

I loved all the short stories in this book.

This book lets you dive into 5 different authors. It's a quick read, and a lot of fun.

Bite

I bought this book in order to read the Sookie Stackhouse short story. I was a little disappointed that it was so short. I enjoyed the first short story by Laurel K. Hamiliton as well but the rest of the stories were awful.

Charlaine Harris fan

I got this book only for the short novel on Sookie Stackhouse. I thought it would be a lot more Eric the Vampire's relationship with Sookie. I didn't get my fix for the Stackhouse novels like I needed but the other stories were fairly entertaining. The only complaint is, I felt like I was left wanting more but I suppose that's the purpose of short stories. All in all, a decent read when you are bored.

Bite me. Please!

Seriously, a great read with many great stories about vamps and the like. I think I read this in, like, four days or something. If you are a fan of this genre, pick it up!

LOVE IT

LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT... Talk about some of your best all role into one!!!

Not What I Expected

Looking at the authors of this book, I expected it to be better than it actually came out to be. I would say probably two of the stories were good. The others seemed to drag on for a little longer than necessary. It is a good quick read but is not something that will stick in your mind for long.

Wonderful!

Bite really was what first drew my attention to a new favorite author known as Angela Knight. The other author's also displayed talent in their writing and I will read some of their books as soon as I've read all of Angela Knight's and Johanna Lindsey.

really great!!

this book is really good. i have never read any of Angela knight's stuff until now..and she really blew me away. biting in plin sight by ms.davidson was very boring and really had no point.but all of the other stories in this book were very good with many sensual parts to it. i recomend anybody who loves vampires,sex,and magick to buy this book.enjoy

Anthology

*** If you like vampires, then this is a treasure trove for you. Although the last two entries in the book tend to drag it down just slightly, the one entitled Galahad would not do so if it were less, shall we say - biologically correct? Ms. Knight does exhibit true creativity in re-inventing the Grail quest, much more so than certain best sellers. If you buy the book just to read Ms. Davidson, Ms. Harris, and of course Ms. Hamilton's contributions, you will not waste a dime. Ms. Harris and Ms. Davidson both have down to earth humor that will tickle and charm you. Anita Blake fans will be thrilled to get an anthology story that does not merely reprint a chapter from one of the long books. Taking place between Blue Moon and Obsidian Butterfly, the Girl Who Was Infatuated with Death returns fans to a classic period of Anita's characterization. Although Death does not refer to Edward as might be hoped, it is still a commendable story that is not weighed down by the aspects that has long time fans feeling rather mutinous in regard to the latest books. ***

Umm yeah

I give it 3 stars because charliane Harris bit was soo cool and one or two (i forgot which one) was good as well but the rest,... umm lets say I had to skip a few paragraphs for the good parts to come on... i mean it's a good book and everything but it's more like if you have the time read it, it's not really a must read unless you have a favorite author among the authors... it was still pretty good...
