Read Harris’s “Tacky” and Bear’s “Needles” and they were both brilliant in very different ways.

Read Nancy holders “Beyond the pale” and the only real problem is that she never expanded it into a series like she originally indicated she wanted to.

Read Krinard’s “Mist and all I can say is “wow”

Read Hamilton’s “Selling Houses” and while I’ve read it before I really enjoy the world building and the mundane activity but with vampires

Read Bank’s “Wanted: Dead or Alive” and only issue is it’s a stand alone story. :)

Read Melanie Tem’s “The Better half” and it was beautifully done and horrifyingly disturbing

Read Armstrong’s “Learning Curve” and the only issue is that it was far too short for such a lively universe.

Read Douglas’s “Monster Mash” and it was very very intriguing.

Read Charnas “Unicorn Tapestry” and I only wish it hadn’t been the third novella of the sequence. Read Huff’s “This Town Ain’t Big Enough” and absolutely loved it. Read Nancy Collins’s “Vampire King of the Goth Chicks” and it was both straight forward and deeply nuanced on multiple levels and I just adored it.

Read Cadigan’s “The Power and the Passion” and it certainly gives a new meaning to the “Chosen One”

Finished Yarbro’s Renewal which is absolutely fantastic and after researching I definitely need to read the st Germaine works

Read Gomez’s “Chicago 1927” and it was absolutely insanely wonderful.

Finished E Vaughan’s “A Rose By Any Other Name is Still Red” and Stein’s “Superman” and they were both incredibly good and incredibly different with the one factor linking them is that they were both centered on kick-ass somewhat broken but still functioning heroines.

Read McCray’s “Double Dead” and it was double awesome

Finished Jenna Black’s “Nine-tenths of the Law” and it was awesome proving yet again that religious fanatics will hurt anyone including their own kids to make themselves feel righteous

Read Elrod’s “Vampires Prefer Blondes” and it was of course amazing

Read La Dame by Tanith Lee and it was beautifully written

Read the first 4 stories by Caine, Chance, Vincent and Saintcrow. All were awesome

Read the first four stories by Caine, Chance, Vincent and Saintcrow

Read Beard’s “Retoxicity” and while I think the underlying themes and story is fascinating Besrd makes it much too difficult to wade thru the noise to get to it to make exploring the book it comes from worthwhile.

Finished Taylor’s “Blood Lust”. Great as well unfortunately a stand alone novella instead of party of a series

Read Angela Knight’s “Galahad” and it’s a doozy. Definitely recommend

Read Harris’s “One Word Answer” and Davidson’s “Biting in Plain Sight”. Both were excellent although Harris one felt like a chapter in between two books

Read Hamilton’s “The Girl Who Was Infatuated with Death and loved it but it was a reread from Strange Candy.

Finished the last story Handelands “Dead Man Dating” and my only disappointment is that it’s a stand alone novella

Finished Armstrong’s Chaotic and it was awesome.

Read Where the Vampires Live by Storm Constantine and it was absolutely wonderful.

Read Pepe Rojo’s “Grey Noise” and while it may have got the tech wrong he’s remarkably close to a lot of the actual social and cultural results.

Very good. Worth tracking down some of his other works in English.

Read the novella “The Claire Switch Project” by Lynsay Sands and it was absolutely brilliant and funny including the ending.

I do wish she’d write a book or trilogy about Clair and Kyle.
