Over all, I really liked this story. This was no different, and I would expect no less from Liz Maverick, the writer who created his series. The second story, DX by Carolyn Jewel, had a lot less bite. Although the idea behind this story is very good, the plot has holes and the character development is fairly one-dimensional. The story centers around bounty hunter Hell Marshall falling head over heels for Jaden Lightfeather, a Demon posing as a a federal agent.

Jaden, of course, has a dark secret. Milo is hiding a great deal and just about everyone else is lying, evading the truth, or has a secret identity. This is definitely the weakest story in the anthology. The third tale, School Bites by Jade Lee, is sardonic and darkly humorous with a good deal of steam and my favorite in the anthology. The only downfall that I can see is Kimi's mention of her virginity on more than one occasion, yet neither Kimi nor Nic mention it again.

Good, quick read with lots of sexy tension. May 14, Dren rated it liked it. This is my first entry into this series and this book interests me enough that I want to read the first novel in the series. If you're looking for a something quick and interesting, pick this one up.

Mar 06, Lyndsey rated it it was amazing. Although this was a very short read, it was well written with a great plot. I would've loved to have a longer story just to flesh out more of the relationship, especially at the end. Overall, though, very good short story on a newer take on demons.

Recommended for a fast read.

Jade Lee Goodreads Author. Its been said there's no such thing as quiet here. Ever since the metropolis first became home to paranormals, discord was named queen. But who will be her king vampires, werewolves, demons or men? One thing remains sure: This land is a battleground and conflict is eternal. Yet there are those who join together strangers, enemies, lovers.

Here, one silken caress can be deadlier than a bullet, but some still know joy. For darkness can become light, and in one sharp instant pain can become ecstasy, and hatred, love.

Lists with This Book. Mar 15, Gina rated it really liked it Shelves: I thought all four stories were pretty good. Each one had characters that were secondary characters in the other novels in the series. Each one different, but all had action, inner turmoils and excellent, erotic love scenes.

A Time to Howl by Liz Maverick: I thought this was great. What started out as a spur of the moment kidnapping turns into an excellent l I want more! What started out as a spur of the moment kidnapping turns into an excellent love story. I was disappointed, though, but not because of the story. I want Jill and Marius! Please, oh please, Ms. I need Jill and Marius. Right at the beginning, the page just before the title page, Liz wrote: This novel had been published in January The suspense is killing me here! Not bad, but not the greatest.

This one was delightful! I really liked how Toni and John fumbled with each other, turned to each other, trusted each other, helped one another. Each one strong in their beliefs, even when they change. I thought the story was a great change to the usual fighting and will to survive. The had a point to push across and I loved how that played out in the story. Even though fiction, we can learn from this one, and it was a pleasant surprise. Oh, I really enjoyed this one. I truly love how Kimi and Nic come together and win against the odds, just the two of them.

Their love blossoms, and the reader can feel it.

Dark Awakening by Patti O'Shea

I love how they team up to beat the bad guy, and no matter how scared she was, she did what she had to, to keep Nic alive. I need Jill and Marius! Jul 02, Doris rated it liked it. It had echoes of Aladdin, as in the cartoon of the same name, but with a great twist.

Shards of Crimson

The two primary people in the story were first read in June The four stories in Shards of Crimson, from current female fantasy writers, are interesting and themed together in a way that strongly reminded me of Thieves' World, especially when they started straying from the storyline into a highly explicit recount. The two primary people in the story were both werewolves, one a sheltered princess, the other a rogue street walker, both with something missing in their lives.

It was very well told, and the explicit scenes were very tastefully handled in a way that added to the storyline rather than, as so many do, abruptly jarring you out.
