First reading, how did I miss this one the first time I read the series [shakes head]... What a delightful short dark-hunter story, like others I kinda wish these two had received their own full length book. I would have loved to know more of both of their pasts and the feud between their families. The supporting cast was great too, would have liked to have gotten to know them better. Hopefully they all pop up in future stories. This one is safely outside the main story arch of the dark-hunter world, so it can be skipped, but then you will miss a great little story.

Not a particularly interesting anthology, I actually skipped the final story as I had no interest in finishing the book.

So I only read the LA Banks story, as a long time fan of the vampire huntress series, this was over due. Finally glad to read the back story of Jose and Juanita, and not feel torn about their involvement in the main guardians relationship.

So, I have to be honest with you, dear reader; I'm lying to you. Yes, yes, I'm a terrible human being for the lie, but it's quit necessary. See, I have you believing that I've read the entire book, Love At First Bite. A collection of short stories that I'm sure is amazing in its entirety, but my tiny sin is that...umm...well...I've not exactly read the whole novel.
I know! A tragedy, one even the Ponds will mourn. But! Ignoring this terrible oversight, I'm still ranking this entire book at five stars. Why? Because Sherrilyn Kenyon. Yep. She's bad-ass enough to merit an entire not-all-hers novel being awesome. Simply put, Esperetta and Velkan are made of win. They are two characters that pretty much yank your feels all over the place. Their story is insanely fast-paced (because duh, short story) but holy crap if it isn't spectacular.
Love is all lovey between our two leads, and if you like a tale of redemption and estranged lovers, your mouth is gonna drool over this one! ... Well, maybe not drool because eww, but trust when I say that Until Death Do Us Part packs one hell of a whammy. While the writing seems to give more reader-time with Esperetta than our hero, Velkan, the two definitely share chemistry, and the plotting is damned solid. In short summation, let's let Benny clearly articulate why you need this short story...
Yep. That.

A very mixed bag of stories, two contemporary and two modern, all of which are paranormal romances.
Sherrilyn Kenyon brings Dracula into her reality, in this story his daughter has to deal with her husband that she believes ill of from a long time ago. He bound her soul to his and when he took Artemis' offer she became immortal too. Pretty typical of her stuff.
The second is LA Banks'. Two teenagers find themselves dealing with abilities and evil, they find themselves attracted to each other.
Susan Squires' the Gift is an interesting tale of vampires and choices.
My favourite was Ronda Thompson's The Forgotten One. Lady Anne Baldwin has found herself beginning to be tired with the restraint of her life and a new stable manager helps knock her life out of it's usual bounds.
Altogether a fun set of stories, nothing too amazing but good for it's type.
