Summary: Good, enjoyable, worthwhile, not 5-stars
Review: I gave the book 4 stars because Dark Descent ended too abruptly with too many unanswered mysteries. I was enjoying reading it, then BOOM it ended. I turned the page and was totally surprised that that was it.
But I also very much enjoyed the last story in the book about Magda. I will read more by Susan Grant, I've discovered her!

Summary: What happened???
Review: I like Christine Feehan's books, and have read all her Carpathian novels...this short story is too short. I couldn't believe it when I turned the last page and the story was over...many issues are not resolved. I imagine that some of the issues raised in this story will be dealt with in a future novel, but it is still disappointing...

Summary: could definitely have been better. . .
Review: i read this book primarily for christine feehan's dark descent. i was disappointed in the many inconsistencies in the story and the lack of character development, however i was quite intrigued by the plot and its hints of future things to come. i think ms. feehan has somewhat redeemed herself from her more recent dark symphony which i thought was an absolute disaster (every author in entitled to one dud i suppose), but this work could have been much better. in the future, i believe ms. feehan should reconsider submitting works from her dark series as novellas and simply write complete novels which due her and her characters justice. although these two most recent works do not represent her best efforts, i will continue to read her in hopes that her next novel will be as engaging as dark magic and dark fire (my personal favorite).

Summary: A Person From VA.
Review: I think this book is very good but Christine Feehan and Susan Squire's stories are to short I wanted to know more about Christine Feehan's Character Joie and her family and how Traian fits in and how in Susan Squire's, Megda and Pietr gets along. These characters were like real people to me. The reason why I did not give this book a 5 is because of Susan Grant's part it was a little slow and you can't get into the characters. I am a big Christine Feehan fan and have all her books just waiting for the next book.I have to think the bookstore attendant for introducing her to me. This the first I have read of Susan Squires and I think I will check her out. I'm not sure of susan grant yet but all in all it is a good book.

Summary: The Only One/Dark Descent
Review: I was really dissapointed in the "Dark Descent" anthology. This should be a complete Book. It leaves you hanging & wondering what happened to all the characters. What a great read it would be if Ms Feehan would only complete this story. Otherwise I wish I hadn't read it. To become involved in a story & there is no ending is depressing enough but there also is no beginning & a real lack of character development. Everyone I know who has read "Dark Descent" would like to see this story finished & hope Ms Feehan will consider this.

Summary: An unfortunate disappointment
Review: I'm a big fan of Christine Feehan's Dark series and looked forward to this latest one, though lamenting the fact it was a short story, wanting more even before opening the book. It was a disappointment. There was very little character development, a disjointed plot that seemed to be more repeats of other plots than a new one, little deep emotion between the hero and heroine. In short, an unsatisfying read. I highly recommend every other book in the series, most especially Dark Prince and Dark Desire. To anyone who read this story first and decided not to continue with the Dark series, don't let it turn you off. Truly the others books are wonderful.

Summary: Very Disappointing and Frustrating
Review: I'm a big fan of the Dark Series (Christine Feehan) and I was very disappointed. The story was horrible; I felt so let down!!! I was totally looking forward to this book and instead of feeling like wow she did it again I felt like oh my god who in gods name wrote this story because it could not have been Christine. This story should have been more developed than it was; when I turned the page and saw that the story was finished, I just said oh no she did not just do this!!!

Summary: Great introduction to all three series
Review: I'm probably the only person around who hadn't read another book by Feehan, Grant or Squires, but since I'd heard so much about all three authors, THE ONLY ONE seemed like an obvious start. Okay, I'm hooked. I've already started Susan Grants' Star series and can't wait to get into Christine Feehan and Susan Squires' other books. I thoroughly enjoyed THE ONLY ONE and would especially recommend the anthology to anyone who wants a taste of what these amazing writers are capable of. I fully intend to come back and reread them after I'm more familiar with their other books, as I imagine I'll find even more depth in these well-developed characters.

Summary: Three excellent stories under one cover
Review: I've been waiting and waiting for this book, with stories by Christine Feehan, Susan Grant and Susan Squires. I am VERY happy with the escapes from reality that these three authors have given us...Christine tells a Carpathian story with a bit of a twist...an alpha female! Excellent, excellent Susan Grant's story was different from her usual stories...a furistic world after destruction...wonderfully done This was my first read of a Susan Squires story...very well done. I like the idea of the "companions". will be looking for more from this author I'd like to see more of these characters and plots in future books...These three women are auto-buys in my house...recommend that you put them to the top of your auto-buy list <G>

Summary: The Only One/Christine Feehan;Susan Grant; Susan Squires
Review: In Christine Feehan's Dark Descent I was very disappointed. Being a big fan of her Dark Series I was REALLY looking forward to this. I found the story line too hurried and much more suited to traditional romance of I love you, you love me so let's get married, have children and live happily ever after. The characters were too accepting of EVERYTHING supernatural and this made the story very unbelieveable. A true disappointment in a well loved author. She is much more suited to a longer story line than a cramped short story.
Susan Grant's Star Queen was definitely a move in the right direction. I have never read her before but the story was much more believable even though it was more futuristic. I could read more of her work and find enjoyment.
Susan Squires' Sacrilege was another book on the move upward. I enjoyed this reading and found it to be very informative and filled with believeable sci-fi action and suspense. The story line was well thought out and although this is a short story, It moved you along at the right pace. There were no short endings or wondering what happens next. She also left room for a sequel and I hope she accomplishes this in a longer story line.
