Immortal: Love Stories with Bite by Rachel Vincent, Richelle Mead, P.C. Cast, Nancy Holder, Rachel Caine, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Tanith Lee, Kristin Cast, Claudia Gray
3.0
I picked this up on impulse. I tend to dislike anthologies, and most of the time I detest vampires. But Rachel Vincent has a story in here, and I enjoy her Soul Screamers world. I'm reading the other short stories just to get a taste of what's out there.
Haunted Love by Cynthia Leitech Smith
2/5
Boring, with a completely ridiculous ending. The writing could have been better.
Amber Smoke by Kristin Cast
0/5
Good God, what an insult to my intelligence. Atrocious writing, horrible characterization and a plot that made me gag. How this got published... There is far better out there. Like the next story...
Dead Man Stalking by Rachel Caine
4/5
Interesting characters, meaningful plot, and good action. This actually made me want to read the rest of the Morganville series, which is what these stories are meant to do.
Table Manners by Tanith Lee
3/5
I enjoyed the style, but I didn't think it was all that interesting.
Blue Moon by Richelle Mead
3/5
Interesting premise, but otherwise unremarkable.
Changed by Nancy Holder
4/5
I liked the way Jilly and Eli's relationship is portrayed.
Binge by Rachel Vincent
5/5
Intriguing concept of muses and sirens. Well written.

4/5
Good kind of girl-power story. Sort of. Patrice perhaps could have shown a bit more emotion at her lover's passing.
