I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I normally don't buy anthologies...just not much of a short story kinda person I guess. This was the first time I'd read any of the authors.

Shadow of the Moon by Sherrilyn Kenyon was a bit confusing without the Dark-Hunters background but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the story. (This is Fury's story.) It certainly gave me a taste of the Dark-Hunter series and did not disappoint. I'd say this was my second favorite of all four.

The Story of Son by JR Ward was definitely my favorite. From what I understand this story, while in the same world, is separate from the Brotherhood series. I was completely engaged from the first page. I'll be investing in more of Ward's books.

Beyond the Night by Susan Squires was good and while I wasn't disappointed in the story it wasn't on par with the first two. It was about a "ghostly" vampire and moved along fairly well. I'll check out other books by Squires through the library to get a better feel for her style before spending money on her books.

Midnight Kiss Goodbye by Dianna Love had more going on than should have been in a short story. If her goal was to try out characters and settings then she succeeded otherwise she fell short. I've seen her name paired with Kenyon's so my feeling is that she's a friend Kenyon is hoping to launch. Perhaps, she'll improve with experience.
