Danielle Paquette-Harvey

4.5 but I choose to give it 5 stars because I really enjoyed this prequel. And I'm definitely reading the next book.

What I love about the book is how easy it is to read despite being a fantasy. It made me smile in a lot of places, and warm my heart in a couple of scenes. The kick in Sarah's stomach had me gasping in anger like what the hell? She had a pup! (err... yeah, a pup haha) You're so damn inhuman ms. M! But then she died in a way that makes me even more angry, like that wasn't justice, that's cruelty. *cries* Love the story.

What I like about anthologies with different authors is that you get to taste different flavor of writing and choose to have more without feeling overwhelmed.

This collection of "twisted" story is beautiful. It feeds that darkness that I sometimes crave.

All the stories are worth reading and everyone who likes dark romances should give this collection a try.

I have already read C.D's McKenna's and Danielle Paquette-Harvey's books, and I will follow more of their work and some others in the anthology, but with that said, I pick my top 3 favorites:

3: A bloodied kiss by C.D McKenna
I love this enemy to lover story.
The story has just enough angst and slow simmer toward the sensual lovemaking...

while the action makes me want to scream. It's unclear to me if Rose was turned into a vamp, though. I hope she did so that they can live happily ever after for many, many years hehe.

2: Gate 13 by Des Sweet
What can I say about this story? It's beautiful. It caught my attention from the get go. Dark angel, death? YES PLEASE!

I especially love the scene of Star with her ex wahahaha!

And lastly MY TOP FAVORITE!

Devoured And Damned by Ivy Winter
This is so dark, cruel, and so good. He patiently waited and made the takeover very satisfying I screaming into my pillow for more after reading it. It's the story I finished the fastest because I couldn't let it go.

Going for book 3

Being a mood reader, this book has been in my current reads for a while, but I finished reading it in 3 days after picking it up. I love that this tells Will's story who had become an Alpha given that his sister becomes Damien's queen. Overall, this was a great read, but I enjoyed book one better. Why? There's too many POVs in this book, and to be honest I skip reading Euro... (the demon's) POV. I couldn't care less about him and Bianca too. I didn't skip her POV, but after two POVs from her; I skimmed through hers. She isn't hateful, she just bore me.

I can't express how happy I am for Arius. He deserved to be happy. But what I excited me the most was Will POV. I like his mate, but I can't help but cheer for Jane. And as one of the reader said, that ending made me scream. It's a cliffhanger. Good thing the 3rd book is out.

I'm going in and hopefully, I would love the 3rd book as much as the first.

I just finished it! Wah, and I love it! All I wanted is to read the next book now, but I have to tell everyone how much I enjoyed this.

I thought the first book was good, but this is great! The first vampire romance I've read is Twilight and though I like it, I didn't enjoy it enough to keep reading the next books in the series. This book, however, keeps me flipping the pages. The characters have their flaws and weaknesses, which made this so realistic.

Aruis annoyed me at first, but he easily redeemed himself. My most favorite twist is Zach's story. Gosh, that was so clever of the author. I was very suspicious of him from the get-go, but his backstory made me cry for him with a snap of a finger.

Now, I'm off to the next book.



PS: The lovemaking is so sensual you'd want a vampire lover yourself… (más)
