      ...The Eternal Kiss...by Ann-Lynn

      November 16, 2009: The Eternal Kiss. Yes please. This book is a collection of practically all of my favorite authors. Each short story shows a hint of each writer and every story is very different. If you've read any of the authors books before you read The Eternal Kiss you can tell which story belongs to who, which is pretty cool. I love Falling to Ash, Shelter Island, Kat, Other Boy and probably more once i finish reading it. lol. -spoiler alert- Unfortunately,this book is full of short stories. I want to know more about these characters. I want to know if the characters do find happiness and love or if the vampires who affected there lives just disappear. I'm saddened by the thought of not knowing. I wish they could add on and make the stories more detailed, too, but other than that it is very cute, very different. it is just some more ways to think of how being a vampire would feel like and I've found new authors and new books that i wouldn't mind reading. :]

      October 25, 2009: I am an adult who picked up this book without realizing it was technically YA, so I am amazed to say it was probably the best anthology I've ever read (and I've read a lot of them.) Anyone who things YA fantasy is all pretty-boy vampires and mopey heroines will think twice after reading this collection; only one story, Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie's "Passing", even qualifies as romance by most people's standards, and even that features more fighting monsters than lingering gazes. There are some very dark stories here-- Cecil Castellucci's "Wet Teeth" is more horror than urban fantasy, while Holly Black's "The Coldest Girl in Coldtown" is one of the creepiest, loneliest, most disturbing things I've read recently (that's a compliment), and Cassandra Clare's "Other Boys", Lili St. Crow's "Ambition" and Libba Bray's "The Thirteenth Step" all deserve mention for their bleak (though oddly similar) final twists. On the other end of the spectrum, after four re-reads I'm still giggling my way through Sarah Rees Brennan's hilarious "Undead is Very Hot Right Now." The collection is not perfect. Only two authors, Kelley Armstrong and Rachel Caine, choose to set their entries in the familiar settings of their full-length novels, and both rely a bit too heavily on the reader's prior knowledge of their characters and worlds. Others, in particular Karen Mahoney, Maria V. Snyder, and especially Dina James, seem to have written introductions to novels rather than true short stories. But overall, if you are a teen or an adult looking for some truly great vampire stories with a huge range of takes on the genre, I cannot recommend this book more.
