Vampires Gone Wild (Supernatural Underground) audiobook

I only read V is for Vampwoman so the rating is for that book alone!

--Posted 10/24/2013--Now finished with Blood and Water by Kim Falconer. It was a pleasant read, taking place in San Francisco in the early 1900s. Anyone who reads it needs to know some basic history, as it discusses the massive earthquake and how it's destroyed the town, which gives way to the iconic structuring of the Golden Gate Bridge. At the same time, any potential reader must keep in mind that there is a reason for every segment being written with a time and date stamp--but you won't find out until the very end.This is a vampire story, and yet, it is not. I did my best not to read the blurb on the back cover that tells you what each story is about. Since all four stories were not long, I didn't want to spoil the surprise. I mean, heck, the stories were all 100 pages or less; why bother? Well, in a time like this, it might have been worthwhile. Vampires, in Kim's world, are not night-walking land dwellers. So leave caution to the wind, forgo everything you know about vampires, drop everything you've discovered about sparkly fangless vamps with sloppy hair, and dive into the water.Literally.It was a nice story though. There was one sex scene, though it wasn't written very detailed. Short, to be honest. The story built up nicely, but near the end, it rushed to be done with. Up until that part, the writing was nicely penned; however, it seems, as most limited wordcount-stories go, that the author hastened to finish it with the necessary number, and it showed. She didn't skimp out on the detailing, but she rushed through the story. Nothing was left out, however, and as I mentioned above, if you know some of the history of San Francisco, then the rest falls right into play.It was a great end to this anthology.--Posted 10/24/2013--Now completed First Dates are Hell by Amanda Arista. It was extremely short; 72 pages in this book to be exact, yet still a very entertaining read.Yes, it seems in every review I state how the writing style is, and I will do so again in this one. It's a decent style. Clearly used good description to tell the scene, and phrases I wouldn't have otherwise thought of. Nothing like flowery descriptions and adjectives; the phrases were more like, "She giggled like a schoolgirl, even though she never giggled when she was in school."--that type. Little tidbit phrases that pass in the describing test and make you laugh.Now as I mentioned before, some of the best stories I've ever read are missing a few words here and there. This is one of them. Don't be alarmed when you read this story and see that a word missing (see, I did it just now, too!). And aside from a few missing words the writer may have forgotten to include, I'd say I found a lot of segments where punctuation would have been nice--but again, the story was nicely written, I didn't find any loopholes (unless you REALLY want me to go looking), and it was mostly just commas and stuff.The heroine's main job was working on the floor of housewares in some store, though all I could really see was a store like Bed Bath and Beyond. I don't know; something about how the store seemed laid out as the character passed through made me think that. The hero's main job is a soldier for a local pack of werewolves; yes, he's a vampire, but he'd dissed being a soldier in the vampire world when his "family" abandoned him. This is about him having to "get a life", as per the request of the pack's leader insisting he do something other than stare at a wall all year. Hence a first date that winds up "in Hell".This story seems like a combination of Twilight and True Blood (I know it's not the real name but it's better than saying "those Sookie Stackhouse books that I haven't read but watch"). Now I say this because heroine's name is Esme, she's brown hair and brown eyed (like Esme in Twilight), but she's a fairy (like Sookie in True Blood). I don't think the writer purposely merged the two ideas to form hers, but that's the first thing I thought of. Throw in a couple of spells, and you've got a new world.Don't let my opinion in this story make you think it's not worth reading. The mild bits of humor take you a long way. Oh yeah, and there's no sex. The most intimate the story gets is a brief kiss.--Posted 10/23/2013--Just completed A Forever Love by Pamela Palmer. While the story is good, the writing seemed a tad questionable to me. It wasn't horrible, so any interested reader can be safe knowing that it's still a good story. I just found the writing style a little lacking.There seemed a minimum amount of description. The detailing was okay, but there wasn't enough. It wasn't a "show don't tell" error; there was very little telling involved. The writer just lacked enough description. In fact, she missed a few key parts that would have helped tie in all the descriptions. Nothing overly eye-popping; just a few things that would have better helped tie all the details together.It was a very nice take on the vampire myth. They are still night-walkers and blood drinkers, but they were energy vampires. One vampire fed primarily on fear, another pain, and the hero fed on pleasure (everyone's favorite).Again, this wasn't a bad story. The writer definitely formed a fantastic world, wonderful characters, and she set up the story in an amazing way. True, the ending sort of just cut you off with a "what happens now?!" feeling, but that's to be expected coming from an anthology book of four different stories by four different authors. The story ended sweet. I'm sure that if I really wanted to find out what happened, I'd just go find her next book that carried the story on.Despite my opinion on the lacks of the writing, this is still a pretty nice story. No dirty talking for smut; as I said before, the writer skimped out on the detailing, which includes describing the sex with accurate words. She made it "tasteful" and clean.--Posted 10/18/2013--Still in the process of reading this, but at the moment, I just wanted to read V is for VampWoman so I can continue with Kerrelyn Sparks's Love at Stake series.Short, but sweet. This story got straight to the point and didn't leave anything behind. No questions, no concerns. It showed a stronger side of Lady Pamela, and the expected sexy side to Mikhail. It touched my heart and made me feel all sappy inside during the romantic scenes. Though, if you want a quickie, don't read it. There's no sex involved. Just some hot touching, lovely kisses, and passionate words.Now if you're a stickler for grammar and formatting, there are a few typos I ran across. No biggie. It wasn't like I had to reread a sentence a million times to try and figure out what it was trying to say. Just a word that was missing here and there.Kerrelyn did a fantastic job writing a short little blip to her series to tie in a few older characters without getting into too much. Just enough to give us a happy ending for them so they aren't forgotten.

Four supernatural story, four vampire tales that make sure you will go wild in the night...V is for VampwomanMikhail Korollov had loved Lady Pamela Smythe-Worthing for 200 years, but afraid to court her since he think she's just woman full of vain and selfish. As for Lady Pam herself, she's done with being coward and go to Albania to help Mikhail and his comrade to battle Malcontent, the bad vampire. Who knows that Mikhail, this big bad brute and Viking all the way can make her dead heart beating again? But Mikhail doesn't want risk Pamela's life since now he have chance to prove his love to her.Thought : I'm a fan of Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks, and because of that I requested this title on Edelweiss. Alas, this story much like appetizer in any banquet. Light, fun but not enough to satisfy your hunger (pardon my pun). I actually like the pairing, since it's so rare for Ms Sparks to feature vampire couple. But, Mikhail and Pamela's relationship feel flat to me. Even their romance is sizzling, it feel rushed. The story is also too short, like Ms Sparks can't develop it into something more. Which make me a little bit dissapointed. Add it with just foreplay scene and no actual sex scene. Make me a sad kitten here :(.Rating : 3 starsA Forever Love Elizabeth Bryant can't forget her old flame that left her two years ago. All relationship she try to manage always make her remember Lukas Olsson. Then, one day she is transported to a mysterious realm and doesn't have a clue about her whereabout. Turn that she's in Washington V.C. V.C. stand for Vamp City, a realm for vampire that supposed to be their utopia but some times ago the spell was waning and they all trapped in the realm. That when Elizabeth meet Lukas, who is a vampire. Lukas will do anything to make sure Elizabeth come back safely to her world. Also that actually he loves her so deeply and his disappearance because he is also trapped in Vamp City . But, is Elizabeth want to comeback and live separate from the man she loved for forever?Thought :Pamela Palmer is one of my favorite authors, and her Feral Warriors series is a must read for me. I'm not read her vampire series yet, so I'm afraid I will not understand this novella, which is happened after book #1. The story itself can be read as stand alone and despite the short amount of words and chapters still make me enjoy it. Love Lukas who is so alpha, and also, ehm, Viking. The ending will make reader scream. Yes, beware of the cliffhanger! Some readers might not be satisfied since there's no resolution for Elizabeth and Lucas's relationship. Their sex scene is steamy, tho. This novella makes me want to read the full-length novel. And I hope Ms Palmer will write more about Lucas and Elizabeth in the future.Rating : 4 starsFirst Dates are Hell Valiance, a vampire protector for Prima Violet Jordan's pack, meet a girl and want to date her. But when he finally can make Esme -the girl that make him smitten- accept his invitation, Valiance's brothers attack him. Seems they want Valiance to comeback to their Master. Valiance doesn't want Esme to be involved. But Mondrian, Valiance's brother can't see her. That's when Valiance discover Esme's heritage as fairy. Her magic is so strong, it make her can't be seen by ordinary people and also supernatural beings with evil intentions. Mondrian then take Esme's grandmother as hostage, so Valiance with Esme's help try to save her. Is this first date between Valiance and Esme is doomed to hell and no chance for them to get... intimate?Thought :I never read Amanda Arista's works before, and seems like this novella is connected to her "Diaries of an Urban Panther" where Viola Jordan is the main heroine. Being new with her book, I can enjoy the novella even still don't know some of the recurring characters. The story is good, fast paced and full action packed. I enjoy Esme's quirkiness and there are some awesome quotes as well. Definitely make me want to read the main series. Oh, and of course beside vampire, Valiance is a Viking...Rating : 4 stars Blood and WaterSet in America, 1900. Stellan is a Mar, or Merfolk. But not an ordinary merfolk, he needed blood to make him can live and walk in the land. One day he met Angelina Ralston when that girl was on a ferry and Stellan watched her from water. Then the ferry was drown and Stellan save her. Angelina didn't have a clue about her savior and met Stellan who introduced himself as Stellan Fletcher. Feel grateful, Angelina invited him to go to her home. Angelina was a photographer even her mother was disagree and want Angelina to behave as a woman that era should be. As for Stellan, he agreed to go to Ralston's house to discover Angelina's father plan about a bridge that would be built above Mar's tomb in the depth of the sea. But soon Stellan was drowned to Angelina. There's a bond between Stellan and Angelina that made them could do telephaty and things got worse when Salila, Stellan's sister wanted him to go back to the sea and left Angelina behind. When Angelina finally knew who Stellan is, could she let him go?Thought :Save the best for the last. For me, Blood and Water is the most unique vampire tale. There's no mention of a vampire here, but Ms Falconer already give hints for reader. Stellan that must drink blood and when his image can't be captured by Angelina's camera. As for the story, it's so beautiful and Ms Falconer have way with words. The timeline that set in 1900's era make the story feel richer. I want Ms Falconer to write more about Angelina and Stellan's story. Since the ending leaving some things that can be developed into a full novel. Maybe she can write more about Mar and their unique world. And Stellan.. no information about his heritage. But Stellan is Sweden name, so.. you know what I mean.Rating : 5 stars Vampire Gone Wild is an anthology that make vampire fans will be happy and squeal. The connection of the four novellas beside the heroes are vampire, all of them are Viking! Yep, prepare to be philandered and ravished, those Viking vampires will make your heart beat so wild. For vampire (and viking) fans, this anthology is a must read.Thanks for Edelweiss to provide a copy

Showing up in the middle of a battle in a spandex costume, Pam finally grabs Mikhail’s full attention. A wonderful combination of humor with emotional depth, the only complaint I have for this story…I wish it was a full length novel. I was immediately sucked in and definitely wanted more.A Forever Love by Pamela PalmerA Vamp City based novella, Elizabeth has been missing Lukas for 2 years. He has disappeared from her life without a trace and no man can even come close to comparing to the love she shared with Lukas. Sucked into Vamp City while walking to work, Elizabeth finds herself in a dark and dreary world.

Val has been left to his own after standing up against the will of his vampire leader. Lonely surrounded by other super naturals (Wanderers), he is encouraged by the Prima to ask out Esme, a mousy sales clerk he found interesting. From the moment their date at a coffee shop starts all Hell breaks loose. Revelations abound and Esme is not all she believed herself to be.This was my first trip into the Wanderers’ world and I really loved it. Esme quickly comes into her own. This is definitely a world and author I will be exploring more.Blood and Water by Kim FalconerThis story was a perfect combination of historical fiction with a paranormal twist. Mar, mermaids and mermen, are trying to keep the humans from building a bridge over Golden Gate Bay. They are concerned with the destruction of their underwater temple. A ferry disaster brings Angelina, the bridge architects’ daughter, and Stellan Fletcher, a mar, together. Angelina is extremely attracted to Stellan while her father has arranged an engaged to another bridge engineer Mason Blackwell.Blood and Water is a unique combination of Mer and Vampire legends making an incredibly new and interesting story. I loved how historical facts and myths were joined to create such an original tale. I look forward to more from Kim Falconer. This was one of the best collections of short novellas I’ve read. The stories perfectly complemented each other without any repetition. Truly a fabulous teasers, making you want more!This ARC copy of Vampires Gone Wild was given to me by Avon Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Publish Date February 12, 2013.

Had to download it for the Kerrelyn Sparks novella! Mikhail and Pam were so sexy and cute together. The best part about anthologies is that I get a chance to try out new authors. I liked the writing style of the other three authors so I will have to pick up some new books... oh darn ;)

This review is only for the Love at Stake part of the anthology at this time.I have to admit that Lady Pamela was never one of my favorite characters. I always found her rather annoying. I was happy with this little novella though, it let us see into the Lady Pamela that we never got to know before. Her story, like so many of the vamps, is rather heartbreaking. I love how she chose to overcome her feelings of inadequacy, and I love how she found her true love. Short of course, but oh so sweet!

I was pleasantly surprised that I like all of the stories in this anthology. Sparks was her usual witty self, and I found two new to me authors, Arista and Falconer, giving some new twists to the vampire genre. My favorite was Palmer's novella, which goes with the Vamps in the City series. and yes, I ran right out and bought A Kiss of Blood which is book #2 in an excellent darker and edgier tales.

V is for VampWoman by Kerrelyn Sparks was Lady Pamela and Mikhail's! What a funny, great sweet book. I totally adored and loved it. I can't wait for the next one. This book was short, wanted more :( but I'll wait for Dougal's. Love your world you create Kerrelyn!

I bought this anthology cuz l ADORE Pamela Palmer. I had never read the other three authors in the book, but l very much enjoyed all four stories. Enough to hunt down the series that the other stories showcased! Was some good stuff! Check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Originally posted at: http://www.longandshortreviews.com/bo...Readers are in for major fun and entertainment when they dive into this compilation of awesome stories by four very talented and creative authors. I expected to find at least one story that was hit or miss but every one showcased why these authors are at the top of their game.V is for VampWoman by Kerrelyn SparksIn the first few paragraphs there is this one sentence about the hero, Mikhail. “…one thing Mikhail valued, it was a life free from limitations.” That is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. What is the worst case scenario of a bona fide bachelor? The scary limits of being “in a relationship”, that’s what.Wait until readers get a gander at just how long the hapless hero avoided a certain potential “limitation”. I have to give him credit for will power. Part of the ease of his resistance came from a mistaken belief about the heroine, Vamp Woman, a/ka/ Lady Pamela. Her entrance is a hoot but the hero’s response to her was the tip of the iceberg. What comes after is a courtship mixed with action and a bit of soul searching.In this short story, I was able to immerse myself in the fun world that Ms. Sparks has built while getting to see another terrific happily ever after come together in a fast but believable rate. It was completely entertaining. Lest a fan lament that the author wouldn’t be able to get in a few of her famous quips, she skillfully wove in a little gem. I enjoy Monty Python and this reference was cute in the movie but I loved how Ms. Sparks used the Holy Grenade of Antioch because it cracked me up on a whole new level. I never know when this author is going to pull a funny, and she’s so good at it too!!A Forever Love by Pamela PalmerThis was a bittersweet happy sort of paranormal story with hope and tears. The author plunks a reader down into a most heartfelt and sad moment in the heroine’s life. She’s alone, lonely and missing the one man who makes her complete. Except, all is not as it appears. It’s only when she disappears that all becomes clear, sort of. Elizabeth, the heroine, finds out that Lukas, her beloved, has a violent side to him. Her initial shock was only the first of many reactions the heroine had to navigate as she discovered how very different her man, and her world, is from what she knew. She had to make some decisions, some emotional, very fast because this wasn’t a slow moving short story. It was over before I was ready for it to be done but the ground it covered was fascinating. Some anthologies manage to introduce readers to a new world they didn’t know was out there. That’s what happened to me with reading A Forever Love. It ends with a happy for now with the high potential to be so much more and I believe I’m going to have to buy the next story that picks up where this one leaves off. Elizabeth and Lukas’s story was engrossing and I know there is tons more that has to go on before they get their full happy ever after. As it was, for what I was given, this one was a very good read.First Dates Are Hell (A Those Who Wander Story) by Amanda AristaThis story was cool. It has action, it was exciting, different, and is a crazy way to start an HEA.Valiance is a man who gave up all he knew to back Violet, the new Prima. I love the Wanderers series so this was a treat for me to read. Valiance was a mystery to me before now. I almost wish his story could have been longer but he certainly was a character that deserved something good to happen to him. Odd that it took an invisible girl to make the hero see his true worth and make him believe that he had the right to be happy too. I mean, seriously, the most exciting action in his life at this current juncture was his shopping trip to buy sheets. Sounds so ordinary, right? Why is a man of action, a hero and wiz with swords doing something so boring? Love comes to those who aren’t looking, sometimes in the oddest of places – think Bed, Bath and Beyond. I think this story comes under the heading of ‘beyond’.Even though this story is solidly focused on Valiance and Esme, the unlikely heroine, it was nice to be reminded why I liked Violet, the Prima, in the first place. It was her story that got the series rolling and it’s been a wonderful trip so far. This story is barely an appetizer of the whole scope of richness that Ms. Arista plays with in her bigger books. But, a reader catches a good glimpse of the kind of story telling this author is capable of. I wasn’t disappointed. I totally enjoyed this short and I recommend it highly.Blood and Water by Kim FalconerI have a whole new view of Mar-people (read: mermaid type folk) after reading this story. In fact, it’s almost as though the author mixed up two favorite genres and morphed them into one. It’s sort of freaky and unique. The Mar came across as inherently violent and callous. Stellan, the hero, obviously isn’t like his sister, Salila, and for that I was thankful. The sister made an effective villainess but the author also threw in a teaser that maybe she wasn’t always so twisted, and maybe in some future book, could be saved. At this point, I didn’t care for her, which was a great asset to the plot conflict.Angelina is the human who has captured Stellan’s heart but dating a human comes with pitfalls as this story reveals. She’s a sweet lady but a bit of a rebel. Her openness and willingness to trust made their fast and furious courtship believable. The reason for the natural catastrophe that occurred was a nice paranormal twist to history. That impressed me.What I found the most unique were the steps that had to be taken to make a human change into a water breather. That was a first for me and I applaud the originality of it. The duration made me sad because I understood the enormity of what Angelina was giving up but the hope for a happy ever after was worth the cost.Blood and Water wasn’t a comfortable read for me because of what seems to be the inherent nature of the Mar but I cannot deny that this was a well told story with fascinating undercurrents. Excuse the pun. I just might look into more of this world that Ms. Falconer has created, it has the potential to be a new favorite series.On the whole, Vampires Gone Wild is a wonderful montage of paranormal treats for old and new fans of these authors. All four stories are well written with tightly woven little plot conflicts that kept the reading pace intense and entertaining. These authors have infused these tasty niblets with the very essence that obviously makes their bigger novels such successes. I highly recommend this book to all paranormal romance fans. It’s a winner.

Kitty's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews5 STARS“V is for Vampwoman” by Kerrelyn Sparks.I always know that when I open a book and see the word “malcontents” I am being thrust back into the world of the Dragonisti’s and what a fun time I am going to have. Even though “V” was a short story, I wasn’t disappointed in the least.It was wonderful to see Mikhail Kirillov face the love of his life and finally conquer her. He’s been in love with Pamela since the first time he saw her on the Digital Vampire Network and now he has his chance.Pamela has lived a life of fear and is trying desperately to overcome it. In her attempt, she has decided to become “Vampwoman” and go out in the field and fight the malcontents along with the men. She’s taken self-defense classes, fencing classes, learned how to use shooting stars and has the spandex suit and cape to complete her disguise.Mikhail and Pamela are a riot together. He doesn’t want her in the field, she does not want to back down since she has something to prove. He has to convince her that the only one she has to prove anything to is herself and that he loves her. When he finally convinces her of his intentions and they are ready to have sex …. well, her idea of sex and his are two different things, especially since he wants to be in the same bed and she wants him in the room upstairs.Yes, another winner in the continuing saga of the Dragonesti Vampires.“A Forever Love” by Pamela PalmerYes, I was hoping for one of my Feral Warriors. No, I didn’t get him but I got a really interesting story about Elizabeth and Lukas. A mortal and a vampire.Elizabeth and Lukas dated for months. Yes, it was an unusual relationship. She only saw him at night, he was very vague about his whereabouts and was always gone come morning. But, she loved him and couldn’t understand how and why he just vanished one day. No good-bye, no explanations.Lukas is a Vampire and her refuses to let Elizabeth know about his life. He feeds from her without her knowing it and then wipes her mind of the experience. He’s also a Pleasure Emora. He not only needs blood to live, put other people’s pleasure. Who better to get it from but the one woman who he has grown to love.People are mysteriously disappearing from Georgetown and no one know how or why they are disappearing. Elizabeth finds out the hard way and also find’s Lukas, much to her dismay.Pamela Palmer again enthralls you with her story telling and brings you to a world unlike any other. She has left this story so open with so many unanswered questions that you are waiting and wanting more. How does this story end? Will there be an HEA for Elizabeth and Lukas? Will the sorceress be found and will the gate between both worlds be open again. Well, this whet my appetite and I could only hope that she continues this story and answers all my questions.“First Dates Are Hell” by Amanda AristaThis is a new author for me but she has me curious. If a short story was written as well as this, what would a full novel be like. I think I may really have to find out.Valiance is the only Vampire in a pack of wolves. He has sworn his allegiance to her after his Clade abandoned him. Violet is determined to get Valiance living a life again. She pushes and prods until he finally tells her about a girl that he met and Violet pushes him until he finally asks her out.Esme is invisible to everyone. No one ever notices her. She’s just some no name, no face person that works in a department store. Until Valiance. He sees her and comes looking for her and finally asks her out on a date. But, what would he see in her? He’s gorgeous and can have any woman he wants. Yes, Esme is just a little insecure – with good reason.Well, the “Date From Hell” starts off just fine having coffee in Violets coffee shop but heads downhill from there. His former Clade shows up and they want him back. Esme finds out that he’s a Vampire and all hell breaks out. Esme escapes only to find out that her Abuelita has some surprising stories of her own to tell. Including the fact that Esme is a Fairy.I adored Ms. Arista’s first foray into Vampires. Her previous books are the “Diaries of an Urban Panther” series (which I may just have to read) and are centered around shape-shifters. This short-story was action-packed, fun and intriguing. Esme was wonderful and Valiance finally found love after centuries of being without.“Blood and Water” by Kim FalconerWow, a different kind of Vampire – one that lives beneath the sea and could only walk on land with blood. How imaginative!Stellan meets Angelina in the most peculiar way. She’s drowning and he can’t allow her to die. There is just something about her, something about the way she looks and acts that has him desiring her and wanting her to become his. But, this can’t be. He’s Vampire, needs blood to walk on land and lives in caves far below the Pacific Ocean. But, he saves her the only way he knows how – he brings her to the caves, revives her and then returns to land with orders from Teern – learn about the “bridge”.Angelina is ahead of her times. Shes ambitious and head-strong. She loves taking pictues and loves to swim. Her parents have arranged a marriage to a man that is just like her father – see’s right through her and pays her no heed. She has to call a stop to this arrangement but doesn’t know how. A day on board the The Bay City Ferry, taking pictures with her future mother-in-law changes her life forever. Especially when she is thrown over-board and wakes on the shore with a strange man helping her. She trusts him, feels she knows him and he takes an interest in everything that she has to say, unlike Mason Blackwell, her fiancee.This short-story also has a few twists and turns and Ms. Faulkner keeps you guessing until the end. As I said, an interesting kind of Vampire but one with a heart and an HEA that leaves you smiling.Review copy provided for an honest review.

The first story is Viking vampire police falling for the blondest blonde vampire reporter. It was a good concept in the fighting and the teleporting. The love story was like poof love. But the sexy bits were steamy.Second story was VampCity. I’d forgotten that I liked the first book or two of VampCity. Idk if I read a dud or what happened but I want to read another. The third story was sweet first date story and I liked the magic element. They were a bit to hesitant to bite but I want to read more from the author. This is the first CNN date story. The last story is some kind of vampire mermaid thing. Vampires live underwater and the girl seems cool with leaving her whole family. I need a longer story to understand the choices made but I’m not going to seek it out. Quite frankly mermaids need tails.

There're other short stories in this book by different authors, but I was more into reading V wie VampWoman by Kerrelyn Sparks, another success love story for the employee of MacKay Security and Investigation. I was glad that the author picked this two as a couple because I never really know these two, Lady Pamela Smythe-Worthing and Mikhail Kirillov. I admired the courage Lady Pamela possessed to change her life, and Mikhail for his bravery to pursue what he wanted, although it took him over 200 years to finally fulfilled his desire. Overall, a tale that's straight to the point without much drama, because after all, it's a short story, but it never failed to leave me wanting for more!

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 5.0~~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~~With this collection you will love Vampires even more. Great collection of short stories that will leave you wanting more from Authors Kerrelyn Sparks, Pamela Palmer, Amanda Arista and Kim Falconer. I loved this series and all the stories within it. This is a must have for any paranormal fan.

I loved this book, well novella. I loved it from someone elses viewpoint not Violets. I'd love more from people in the pack!! I'm so sorry to see this series end, I hate reading the last book knowing that there will be no more! I'd love to know how it goes with Valiance and Esme!!
