Overall, this was a fun set to read. All of the stories involve vampires, so you get to stretch the imagination a little bit. Here are brief reviews of each story:
Dark Crime – 3.5 Cocktails
By far the longest of the stories in the collection, it is pretty close to a full length novel. I have not read the other books in the series this is a part of, but that was not a hindrance to enjoying this one. Dark Crime has an interesting concept and great characters. It also has a lot of sexy time, almost too much really, even though it did help cement the bond between the two main characters. My one complaint about the sexy time was that some of it felt repetitive, especially the wording chosen.
Dead by Twilight – 3.5 Cocktails
A novella that is really a lot of fun. Chloe is a completely different type of vampire and her story is an interesting twist to typical vampire stories – definitely worth checking out. There is some romance, but very little sexy time. I would have liked to have seen more of Chloe and Shep together.
Cimarron Spirit – 3
A sweet novella, but everything seemed a bit stiff. The way things were set up, you never really believed that Annie would choose Brent over Rafael, so it was hard to invest in parts of the story.
