Reviews
Praise for THE ETERNAL KISS
'Thirteen vampire stories by some of the leading authors in this genre are sure to be a crowd pleaser with those who enjoy their stories with blood and fangs.' READPLUS
'Thirteen interesting stories, thirteen perspectives on one subject matter. And all endings kept me wanting more. I hope some of these short stories are taken further into novels. While the target readership appeal is for young adults, any adult who loves a good vampire story will equally enjoy. More please!' THE READING STACK
'Full of high-quality fiction . . . The selections have diverse story lines, some strong on the horror component but including lighter fare with some comedy and romance, and an array of writing styles. Vampires are portrayed in a variety of ways along with their history and lore, making this an entertaining read. Particularly noteworthy are Sarah Rees Brennan's "Undead Is Very Hot Right Now", Karen Mahoney's "Falling to Ash", Holly Black's "The Coldest Girl in Coldtown" and Libba Bray's "The Thirteenth Step" . . . fang-tastic.' SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
‘An excellent sampler of the range of writing talent in young adult horror fiction. Some authors clearly excel in the short story form. Holly Black, in particular, has been a find. Her story, “The Coldest Girl in Coldtown”, had me almost in tears. I was both enthralled and devastated.’ BOOK THINGO
'The tales were well balanced out . . . an interesting read that provided readers a quick glimpse at several of the big name authors’ writing styles and the differing views and perceptions that can be used with vampires. I found many great tales in this novel that covered everything from adventure, romance, fights, some biting and, of course, a whole lot of blood. This book is a light and fast read which will easily delight many paranormal and young adult fans.' SASSI SAM, http://www.sassisamblog.com
