THE ETERNAL KISS: 13 VAMPIRE TALES OF BLOOD AND DESIRE

www.eplcoolfafe.wordpress.com: Overall, this is a decent anthology of vampire stories that will easily find an audience among the vampire-crazed. It’s got a stellar line-up of A-list teen authors, many who write urban fantasy/paranormal romance. However, there were enough stories in this anthology that I either didn’t like or felt “meh” about that I can’t say it’s a wholly successful collection. Yes, the vampires in the stories are diverse, ranging from terrifying to romantic to just plain folks, and the lore (whether they combust in sunshine, look beautiful or hideous, can or can not turn into bats, etc.) varies from story to story as well, but that’s not enough to make this whole collection a stand-out.

One of the best stories is titled, very appropriately, “Undead is Very Hot Right Now”. In this story, by Sarah Rees Brennan (author of The Demon’s Lexicon), Chris is a half-hearted member of the boy band, 4TheLuv.

My other favorite story is “The Coldest Girl in Coldtown”, a very dark story about life after a pandemic turned thousands of people into vampires.

Ok, another Vampire book. This one sounds pretty good and WOW that really is quite a line-up of authors! I love the idea of a story involving Vampires and a boy band, LOL!
