![]() ![]() If we forget the betrayal at the beginning, the whole story lacked in some major background presentation. While I like a good vampire/werewolf mix, this one didn't deliver as it could have. It seemed rushed, the characters were bland.I just didn't care for it.īonnie Vanak's UNWRAPED wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The story was all over the place without any good ties holding it together. Lisa Child's NOTHING SAYS CHRISTMAS LIKE A VAMPIRE was by far the worst in this collection. Once it worked, but did we really need a repeat performance? I resented the whole let's-shag-his-brains-out-and-make-him-forget-everything angle. ![]() Linda Winstead Jones' SUNDOWN was yet another good female-vampire-human-cop novella with a good murder subplot thrown into the mix. ![]() Sure, she had her point, but the message came through a little too forceful. There was just something annoying about an "angel" trying to reform a vampire. Lori Devoti's THE VAMPIRE WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS was the strongest story of the bunch, still toward the end it slipped and didn't regain its balance. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing out of norm, just a straightforward little story of a Oklahoma Stat Trooper falling for a female vampire despite her strange lisp due to her recent trip to the dentist. Merline Lovelace's A CHRISTMAS KISS was a solid little vampire novella. ![]()
