Summary: three well-written stories for fans of the authors
Review: "Dark Decent" by Christine Feehan. Ancient Carpathian hunter Traian Trigovise realizes tracking this cunning vampire won't be easy as Gallent is no fledgling. His belief proved right when the trap is sprung. In Austria, Joie Sanders takes a bullet protecting a US senator and his wife. Many miles apart, a psychic link between the injured duo sends Joie climbing the Carpathian Mountains to rescue Traian, not realizing the danger she is in and the love she will find.

"The Star Queen" by Susan Grant. On Sienna, Taj Sai believes life would be better for the decimated survivors of her devastated planet if the warlords were eliminated. She blames men like her childhood friend Romijha B'Kah for the destruction of their orb. Romijha joins the woman he loves to save what is left of their failing world.

"Sacrilege" by Susan Squires. To contain her need to kill, vampiress Magda Ravel has resided in Mirso Monastery for about two centuries. Judging she is ready, Brother Pietr throws out so that she can prove that she can live among those whom she renounced. In San Francisco, Magda must relearn to live, but still thinks of her mentor back in the European monastery.

Though the Susan Grant science fiction romance tale is different than the supernatural novellas of Christine Feehan and Susan Squires, all three well-written stories will make believers out of readers. The terrific tales are set in the trademark realm that each author is famous for having created. Fans of any of the three authors will enjoy this worthy collection and seek other books by the remaining writers.

Summary: Did I miss something?
Review: ... I didn't like these stories. Reading the stories in this book is like when you watch a movie, only you've missed the beginning, and you have no idea who the players are and where the story is going. The only thing I can think of, is if you read these authors all the time, then these stories make sense. Otherwise, like me, you find yourself wondering why you bought this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, enjoyable, worthwhile, not 5-stars
Review: A friend of mine got me hooked and I just can't seem to get enough. I can finish off one book start to finish with no stopping in under 4hrs. So to say that the book is to short or makes short cuts. Well lets just say there are ideas and things that could happen to drang out the book even more, but has anyone ever noticed a book gets BORING if you drag it out to far. With Christine's books its a matter of person prefrence and understanding of the series to comprehend.

Summary: Saved By Christine Feehan's Dark Descent!
Review: A Friend suggested that I pick this book up and so I did. I am new to Christine Feehan and her dark series so was not sure what I was getting into but I found that I liked this story very much I only wish that it had been a full lenghth story instead of a short one. The concept was fun and a good introduction to her series for a "newbie" like me.

The other stories in the book were entertaining but if I had had the choice of picking them up and reading them as singular titles I probably would have not bothered. All in all these group of stories entertaining and worth reading.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: After reading and collecting the series of Christine Feehan books, I was VERY disappointed in this book that seems like it was put together in a hurry. Its always nice to know the story of each character in the Dark Series, but this story would have been better left unwritten. This is the first, and I hope last, Feehan book I have ever turned in to my local book exchange. The other two stories were not memorable, I have forgotten them already.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 3 Great Stories, 3 Strong Women
Review: All three of these stories provided me with a glimpse into the continuing worlds of these writers. I did not mind that they were short stories, sometimes that is a great way to get to know if you like somebody's writing. Ms. Feehan created a heroine I just loved to read about and I wouldn't mind seeing more strong capable women portrayed as romance heroines. Susan Grant did a wonderful job with her world building. This is important in a sci-fi story. Her treatment of the heroines response of anger showed that she has really thought out how people forced to live under these conditions might respond. I would love to see more stories set in the following years or maybe even how things got so bad. Ms. Squires story was third for me because I am not fond of vampires who regret their life choices. Still, I understood why she did it, Magda was not a born vampire but a made one. It was not a choice. I would like to have seen more world building in her story, so that I could understand the choices her characters made better. Still, this is far and away a super story and I wouldn't have missed it. I believe that this book is not to be missed.

Summary: More does not mean better
Review: CHRISTENE FEEHAN IS THE UNDISPUTED MASTER OF THE WRITTEN WORD I HAVE READ EVERYTHING OF HERS THAT I CAN GET MY HANDS ON. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE ARE NOT MORE OF HER BOOKS IN PRINT AND THAT THEY ARE SO FAR IN BETWEEN RELEASE DATES. THE DARK SERIES IS OUTSTANDING.

Rating: 5 stars
