May 01, Sherry Westendorf rated it it was amazing. I loved this series of books. I highly recommend them. This story is one you can't put down. Very well written and very enjoyable. I really hated to see it end. I will go back and read them again. I recommend the whole series.

This one has excitement, suspense, hot, fun and so much more. It is a surprise each time they get the thirst and then how they meet their one person. Apr 16, Julie Rainforth rated it it was amazing. This is the first book I've read by Marissa Farrar. I enjoyed it very much.

Plus everyone talks in that "Oh, girlfriend, don't be hatin'" manner that very few people actually talk in and it's kind of offensive because the book is supposed to be about African-American vampires. And to start it off with a story full of so many stereotypes.. I could not venture past the first story, I was so traumatized by the horrible. Nov 03, Tiara rated it really liked it Shelves: Finally, a vampire anthology that I can really sink my teeth into. This is a collection of vampire stories written about vampires of color by black authors. Lately, I've found myself mostly disappointed in vampire anthologies, but this one was well worth my time and money.

Even the foreword was fascinating, chronicling the black vampire through history. This story was very funny. It almost seem parody-like, poking fun of the lengths some women will go to to be thin. Vamp Noir by Angela C. This was probably my favorite story because it combined two of my favorite things -- vampires and the mafia.

There isn't much more I can say about the story without giving it all away. This vampire finds himself yearning the blood of virgins, which is particularly potent to vampires, making them do all kinds of crazy stuff to do it. This story was okay. I liked the vampire's back story more than his current day one. I really liked this story, 'nuff said.

You know, I liked this story not so much because it's a vampire story, but because the sense "touch" played a major part in the story, and the authoress did a wonderful job in expressing that. The Family Business by Kevin S. The heroine of the story is dealing with a husband who's abusing his wife until sister girl gets raw and unleashes the beast.

Overall, this was an excellent collection of vampire stories. Much better than many other vampire themed anthologies I own. This uneven anthology of sensual vampire stories by and about African-Americans breaks little new literary ground, but it provides a dose of pure escapist fun. Psychically commanding vampires, both men and women, both willing and unwilling killers, seduce unwitting humans and lead them to the slaughter. There were some stories that I enjoyed more than others, which is to be expected.

Out of six stories I felt as if only two were not stand-outs. The majority of the stories share themes of beauty, This uneven anthology of sensual vampire stories by and about African-Americans breaks little new literary ground, but it provides a dose of pure escapist fun. The majority of the stories share themes of beauty, power and the desire for love or approval—themes that Monica Jackson's "The Ultimate Diet" riffs on wonderfully as the obese Keeshia, rather than beginning another diet, figures out how to turn into a vampire so she can be slender and irresistible, just like her beautiful serial-killing neighbor.

Donna Hill's "The Touch" follows Selena, a masseuse who uses sensual touch and sex to sate her desire for humans so she will not feed on them, as she begins to lose control of her urge for blood. The vampire hero of Allen's "Vamp Noir" was banished by her kind for harboring a human and now hunts criminals. The Confessions of an Addicted Vampire" features New Orleans Creole "Casanova" scorns a lover's advice and develops an addiction to a highly dangerous and callow blood source with disastrous results. Linda Addison's "Whispers During Still Moments" is a story of a half-human vampire hunter struggles to battle a First and save himself and his love.

Brockenbrough's "The Family Business" made me want to throw this anthology away. There's something here for everyone spanning from hip-hop to old school and romance to touches of erotica with splashes of horror and gore thrown in--because it is after all a collection of vampire tales. A steamy, sensual gathering. Allen Reviewed By Purplycookie May 29, Sarah G. The only story I really liked was Vamp Noir. The premise is that there is a female vampire who works as an enforcer for the mob. There is even a bit of romance sprinkled into it as well.

Overall I liked it and could have read an entire book of just this story. The others I just couldn't get through. I'm going to be real and say I was a little disappointed with the rest of the book. I'm a big vampire lore fan Sadly, The only story I really liked was Vamp Noir.
