The whole 'Vampire Thing' can still be incredibly corny, but some of these writers are amazing enough to pull it off. They were all really told in different ways, some saw Vampirism as a blessing and some as a curse. Some showed how it massively affected the person's life and others expressed it like a mild annoyance.
My favourites were:-
Falling To Ash- By Karen Mahoney (Because it was just awesome and the whole Vampire Hunter/Vampire thing will always be a weakness of mine *beams*)
Undead Is Very Hot Right Now- By Sarah Rees Brennan (Because it was very funny, I loved Christian and wanted to hug him and this woman is a genius and always will be)
Kat- By Kelley Armstrong (Because she is a brilliant writer and much to my surprised joy this linked in with the Darkest Powers Trilogy)
The Thirteenth Step- By Libba Bray (Because the writing was so tasty and addictive that I immediately wanted to grab anything else she had every written!)
All Hallows By Rachel Caine (Because the heroine was an empowered, snarky Goth dressed as Catwoman. This is wonderful on so many levels... And her boyfriend was a surfer looking vampire who played the guitar *melts*)
Honourable mentions also go to Cassandra Clare and Holly Black, but their stories distressed me enough to make me sob into a pillow and not want to read them again. Still amazing writing though. : )
I will definitely dip into it again and read some stories as separate pieces once more. *loves*
Currently Reading: Beautiful Creatures By Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
A place for me to gush, rant & rave about what I've been reading.
