From Goodreads:
Follow a vampire who can be as deadly as her prey. Meet a down home southern girl who's found out, much to her chagrin, that vampires are her type. Feel the euphoria of fear in the shadow of a reluctant Queen of the Undead. Step closer to the hot-blooded edge of passion as a strange new mythology of the night is unveiled.
The bite is back in vampire fiction as today's most provocative authors of vampire fiction cast their irresistible spells on you . . .

This is going to be a short review because it's always hard for to write about anthologies. It's hard for me to go deeper into short stories.
I've only ever read books by Charlaine Harris and MaryJanice Davidson before. So while the other short stories were interesting and fun, I wasn't completely into their world. I enjoyed reading MaryJanice Davidson's story. It took me a couple of pages to get where Queen Betsy came into play. But I so love her. She's the first paranormal character that I loved and got me into my paranormal phase. As for Charlaine Harris's story...it was interesting to read more about Sookie's cousin Hadley. I got a little bit more of a back story than we got in the novel.
Overall, fun stories to read!
I gave this book a rating of 3/5.
