Pretty good. I really love Morgan Caine's story that is relate to the Morganville Vampire series.

I slaved my way through this book merely because I hate stopping a book halfway through. I though maybe there might be a glimmer of good reading in at least one story. While a few were okay, none spoke to me. I think that the writers all had potential in the story lines, however the execution wasn't there. Short story or not, you need some character development and for the reader to actually have a chance to "root" for your protagonist. Sadly, none of them delivered.

It was a great book, but there wasn't enough time to bond with the characters on account of the fact that they were just little novellas. Otherwise, there were parts were that were really sad. Sometimes, I didn't get whose vampire and who's not easily. But it was an entertaining book.

This is actually a 3.5 star book for me... Goodreads, why oh why don't you allow half stars in your ratings?
Bloodshed by Claudia Grey - Even though I have never read her Evernight Series, I did really enjoy this story. Enough to make me want to check out the series.
Say Yes by Lili St. Crow - This story was ok, a bit predictable. Not one of my favorites in this anthology.
Letters to Romeo by Nancy Holder - A different take on the Romeo/Juliet story... continuing after their death. It is an interesting story.
The Other Side by Heather Brewer - I did really like this story. It has a bit of a twist to it that I eventually figured out, but not even until almost the very end. Well written, and keeps the reader guessing.
And, is should come to no surprise for those of you who know me, my two favorites in the book:
Drama Queen's Last Dance by Rachel Caine - A side story focused mostly on Eve and Michael. I loved it. I love when Caine writes for anthologies using her Morganville world. It gives the reader a peek into other things happening in and around Morganville, that don't make it into her series books.
Thief by Jeri Smith-Ready - A short story introducing us to characters who will make an appearance in the next WVMP book. I can't wait to see how they figure into the series.

The thing I like about anthologies is you get to sample a lot of different writers' writing without having to commit to their series and risking it being a bad one. Thanks to these books, I've learned to stay away from any book by Lili St. Crow, whose Strange Angels series have interested me a few times but thankfully haven't picked up yet. I also think I won't be reading the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine. But all in all the stories in here weren't so bad.
