Good, but very short.

Crossroads: A short story in the WVMP series by Jeri Smith-Ready. This is the story of the life, death, and change of Monroe Jefferson.
Monroe Jefferson was at a crossroads in his life at the age of 27 in the deep south in July 1940. He was a field worker who needed money so that he could marry his sweetheart. A musician told to meet the Devil at the crossroads....
I enjoyed this installment the best of the four currently offered. The voice in which Monroe was written felt REAL. Shane and Spencer's voices were so similar they could have been interchanged and the banter and actions were unrealistic. Jim's story was more believable on how a hippie would act at a music festival while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Monroe's story was realistic even for Urban Fantasy. Jeri Smith-Ready created a character who's diction was perfect, the thoughts, actions, and behaviors consistent. This is a sign of a very talented author, the ability to write such vast characters.

This was a short story on the author's website. Great little background piece on how Monroe became a Vampire.
