This book is great.
I walked in to my local bookstore and when I was asked if I needed help, my response was “I’m looking for a vampire book that isn’t twilight, because although it’s good I’m over the hype.”
Its sad really Twilight was so good when we didn’t get responses to “Do you like vampires” with “Yes ohmigod Edward Cullen is soooo hot.” *appropriate look of disgust* Well I happen to think that the brothers from the Vampire Diaries are so much better (the show is nothing like the books).
please bring an end to the “Twihards” and “Fanpires” its sad.

jenjen — There are lots of Austen-based paranormals now. Best of both worlds?
SonomaLass — That’s a risk with anthologies. Maybe wait until it’s in the library and see if the story works?
AOB — The progression from Twilight was the first thing I thought of when I started reading this anthology. I couldn’t help but compare the nuances and complexities in these stories with the lack thereof in Twilight. Does your daughter have any particular favourites, moving on from Twilight?

Our daughter absolutely loved this book. Devoured it in a flash and is now going back and re-reading the stories she loved most. She was a huge Twilight fan but I think this book has moved her on. I have a feeling this may broaden he reading all togeather.

I checked the full list of authors — there are some great ones in this anthology! Definitely a gift possibility for one of the teenagers, although I have a DO NOT BUY reaction on one of the authors, so I’ll have to work on justifying it. Thanks for the info and the insight!

How did you know I needed to wean myself off a twilight high?? …but if this book’s going to give me a kick up the butt for falling in lust with Edward Cullen when I am waaaaay old enough to know better, then it’s going straight on my list! (if only because any book NOT about vampires holds very little appeal atm)
ah, getting in touch with one’s inner teenager, how embarrassingly easy it is to do …
