VOYA

This is a collection of vampire love stories by five popular authors. In "Sunshine," which is a backstory for some of the characters in the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, vampire royal Eric Dragomir finds true love with half-royal Rhea. In "Bring Me to Life" by Alyson Noel, Dani Kavanaugh is the key to life and restoration for an old hotel and its immortal inhabitants, including the handsome and charming vampire Bram. In "Hunting Kat" by Kelley Armstrong, vampire Kat is captured and about to be returned to her nemesis, the Edison Group. She manages to escape with the help of an unturned vampire who just might awaken some feelings in her that she had not thought possible, being dead. This collection is rounded out with stories by Francesca Lia Block and Kristin Cast. The strongest story by far is the Armstrong offering; an extension of her Darkest Powers series, it is suspenseful and has well-developed characters and a satisfying and hopeful ending. As vampire romance authors go, these five are among the best. Interest in this volume of the . . . from Hell series will be limited to die-hard fans of the authors. Reviewer: Laura Lehner-Ennis
