Usually not a huge fan of short stories but this one was pretty good. I'm a huge fan of the sookie stackhouse books and this follows all of that but is with completely different people. The theme is still them same. Not as good as sookie but still enjoyed it.

I enjoyed these two short stories/novellas that tie in with the Southern Vampire novels. This is fun and short- nothing particularly amazing but a nice quick read

Started off as an interesting and entertaining story. Ended up as a huge disappointing cliche fest.

I really liked this duo of novellas from Charlaine Harris. The first one, DANCERS IN THE DARK, was a blend of her Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series and her Lily Bard series. I love both of those and this blend worked well. Not that any of the characters, that I know of, were here but the abused woman mirrored Lily and the vampired....well...Anyway, it worked.
The second one, THE BRITLINGENS GO TO HELL , wasn't like anything I'd read from Charlaine before. An alternate universe this time, so more fantasy I guess than paranormal. It was filled with strong characters and interesting premise.
I liked them both very much. I can definitely recommend the stories and Charlaine Harris.

Typical Southern Vamps for Charlaine Harris. I really enjoy these, but can't call them great writing. They are a bit like a McDonald's hamburger compared to a Donovan's steak.
This won't stop me from rolling right into [b:Layla Steps Up|38601366|Layla Steps Up|Charlaine Harris|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1518823413s/38601366.jpg|60207824] though.

The first of the two stories is me preferred book. I'm not a huge fan of book two but its still a decent read.

This is a nice little break from the series. Happy, sad, steamy, interesting story. I'm very much ok with the universe expanding like this. I wonder if we'll meet these characters in the main story.

Really enjoyable.
4 stars It was a fun story and it made me feel like I was back in Sookie's world. I liked it because it takes place in the sookie realm it's so easy to digest. It reads really fast, and it doesn't feel like a short less than 100 page book, and no lie I like it. A lot
It's very "Bill and Sookie" like. A girl with a troubled past, changes her name and moves to a new town to get a fresh start meets a vampire who has never met anyone of the likes of her in many years. His a bit of the whole, "strong and silent" type with an Irish accent. And they fall in some serious like. He wants to save her and she is scared for her safety and all those all around her. I like it. It's making me miss the Sookie Stackhouse books. The ending was kinda of predictable, but it was still an awesome story.
