I bought this book because it was recommended by Amazon. The only author I was familiar with was MaryJanice Davidson after collecting her Undead series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and am still craving for more. I braced myself for some spoilers because I know I'm reading some works of other authors that are also part of their respective series. I enjoyed most of the short stories here, but some not so much. If you're a fan of vampire stories and such, this is a time-travels-fast type of read.1st story: The guy is screaming gay, didn't like him at all. In this story, I felt I started in the middle but had no urgent desire to read the Anita Blake series.2nd story: It's intriguing, would like to read a Sookie Stackhouse novel.3rd story: Very concise, since I'm familiar with the other characters from Davidson's 'Undead' series, this is a side story of a French vampire who appeared in the 5th book (Undead and Unpopular). It's quite charming to read Sophie's and Liam's history and there's always the signature humor where Betsy and Sinclair are concerned.4th story: Interesting, witches and vampires working together and it's sort of a fantasy world. I liked it, I've been warming to the subject of dragons.5th story: This one's quite serious, didn't like it that much. But at least there are no loose ends in this one. ( )

I have finished reading [Bite]. Those who like vampire fiction will love this book. Bite is an anthology of short stories from some of the genres best authors. The included stories are:

• The Girl Who Was Infatuated With Death by Laurell K. Hamilton This is the story of a Vampire Hunter hired to find a seventeen year old girl, before her vampire boyfriend is able to give her that fatal third bite.


• One Word Answer by Charlaine Harris A small-town woman is given the opportunity to decide the fate of her vampire cousin's murderer.


• Biting in Plain Sight by MaryJanice Davidson This is my pick for second place. A vampire lives peacefully as a small-town vet, until a rogue vampire begins luring young girls into killing themselves. It is up to her to put a stop to it, with the help of a reluctant vampire Queen.


• Galahad by Angela Knight My favourite story in this collection. Welcome to a whole new mythology where Arthur and his knights are actually vampires, created by Merlin (an inter-stellar traveller) to keep order in the world.


• Blood Lust by Vickie Taylor This is my pick for third place. Join a scientist in his quest to become a vampire in order to wreak his revenge on the vampire thief of his formula for synthetic blood.

I am still relatively new to vampire fiction, so most of these author's are new to me. I thoroughly enjoyed these stories, however, and I will most certainly be delving deeper into this genre. ( )

Pretty good anthology. Just wish the stories were a bit longer. ( )

Great stories. I got this book from the library because I love Laurell Hamilton and this book opened me up to new authors I had never heard of. ( )

Good all the way through, found some new authors ( )
