I really can't believe someone said they were "disappointed" in this book.

I hated it. I'm extremely sorry I paid money for it. I should have used the money to line my cat's litter box.

Okay, story by story this is how it goes.

The Kenyon story: Is she holding a contest for weird made up names of people and species and sub species and sub sub species. Holy cow. I've read all of her books. (Except Acheron which is upstairs waiting.) I've read them and I still had to think. Okay, what in the hell is a limani or a katagaria. I swear I spend half my time trying to work through her newest funnest word.


The Ward story: I love JR Ward's books. She is my ultimate guilty pleasure. They are so much fun to read. Except this one. Don't get me wrong. This is the best short story in this book. That is a dubious honor akin to being the valedictorian of summer school. I didn't like the ending. Honestly I didn't think it made a lot of sense. I found myself questioning their morals. In a vampire romance story. Seriously.

The Squires story: Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring. Snore. I haven't read any of her other work and if I ever develop a major case of insomnia: I certainly will rush right out. The entire premise left me completely incredulous. The stupid villagers think she is a ghost who can bite people. Puh-leeze.

And finally, last but not least, the Love story. After having made myself read this story I can say with certain confidence I would rather walk on my own lips than ever try to read another by her. Ever. I cannot even begin to tell you the premise of this story. It made no sense. Gods, witches, a group named (of course) VIPER. Telekinesis and possession. It is a hot mess. Yuck.

To sum up: do not order this book.

Immediately take it off of your wishlist. You'll thank me for it later.
