1.0 out of 5 stars Sherrilyn Kenyon review, October 7, 2006
By loonigrrl (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
  
This could quite possibly be Sherrilyn Kenyon's worst story about the Dark Hunters. 500 years ago Velkan and Esperetta lived and died like Romeo and Juliet: Esperetta drank a potion that would mimic death so that she and her beloved Velkan could be together away from their warring families. When Esperetta's father sees her "dead body" he kills her and tortures and kills Velkan. At his moment of death, Velkan's suffering and heartbreak is enought to summon Artemis and he becomes an immoral Dark Hunter. And because he had used some sort of magic to bind his sould to Esperetta's, she also became immortal. When she wakes, she sees Velkan kill her father and rejects him in fear and anger. This Big Misunderstanding is dragged out for the next 500 hundred years. When the story starts, Esperetta is tricked into going back home and this Big Misunderstanding is cleared up in a few short pages.

So what's the problem? The entire premise of this book, basically. Why did the misunderstanding take 500 years to clear up? It really shouldn't have. It's just a thin plot device that didn't do anything to add depth to the characters or the romance. What else is wrong? Well, the characters are pretty weak and the chemistry is almost nonexistent. This story may have benefitted from a longer length, more fully developed characters and some major revisions. As it was, though, it was pretty painful. I'm just glad I borrowed it rather than spending my money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Paranormal Romance Anthology, October 10, 2006
First let me say each story is set in a world that belongs to each author.

In Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter world we have a story that sounds much like Romeo and Juliet. Retta and Velkin used sorcery to join their souls when they married, so when Velkin was raised a Dark Hunter, Retta was also raised. She is raised in time to see Velkin kill her father. Unknown to her, her father had stabbed her in the heart and tortured velkin to death. I must say it is not one of her better stories.

L.A.Banks story was the one I had the most trouble understanding. I think she thought I would have already read some of her novels. Anyway the dreams of Jose and Juanita were the same and I liked it when they found each other and were saved by his Indian relatives. I didn't understand why they forgot each other for 20 yrs and then I got lost. Somehow she comes back as his brother's woman and now they are allowed to remember. Don't ask me what happened cause I don't know. But talk about loose ends. Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!

Susan Squires story was set in the 1800's with England fighting off an army of Vampires. Major Davis Ware agrees to go back to North Africa and help Rufford fight vampires. He leaves his lady behind. She decides to go after him and shortly after she arrives he becomes a vampire. When she forces him to make her one too, they are outnumbered and expect to die but then a bunch of Vamps from some sort of Ruling Council come to their aid. I think Susan Squires has a series based on this Council and one of her books is about Rufford and the Vampire Countess who made him.

Ronda Thompson has a series about the Wulf's of London and this is a short story about a son born on the wrong side of the blanket. He is stable master for some aristocrats who have a niece. If you have read any of her books you will understand the story. For those of you who haven't, try to read between the lines. Falling in love brings on the Curse, and somehow she saves him by getting him to agree to marry her. (I think).

All in all, if you have read any of these authors novels you will better understand what is going on.

1.0 out of 5 stars painful read from some promising authors, November 7, 2006
By D. Anne Fisher (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am not the biggest fan of anthologies, but I usually enjoy the work of Kenyon and Thompson. I have to say that Thompson's entry was the one bright spot in an otherwise painful read. I hate to say it but Kenyon seems to be just marketing on her popularity. She didn't even seem to try on this one. The characters completely lacked any form of depth. I couldn't force myself to care what happened to either the protagonists or the bad guys. The only character that was even remotely entertaining was Esperetta's friend.
Even worse than Kenyon's half hearted attempt was Bank's ride the wind. Her attempts to use slang came out stilted and awkward. And I agree with the other reviewers that the ending left me completely confused and disappointed. I know anthologies tie in to other series generally, but at least try and give some kind of explanation of what happened. The author just jumps ahead 2 decades leaving the reader scratching their head. Instead of inspiring me to read more of Banks work, this story ensured that I won;t be reading any of the author's work any time soon.
