Just One Sip Katie MacAlister Jennifer Ashley Minda Webber 9780505526595 Books

All three stories were fun, fast and amusing. I got this book for Katie MacAlister and to find out what happened to Sebastian and Noelle.

1: Viva Las Vampires

I liked the chemistry between the characters. All the characters. The story was cute, but I still don't really know who the characters are and why they are. There was an attempt to explain, but the explanation wasn't good enough. Was the book Meredith wrote the one book she wrote and if she thought she was getting an interview why didn't she have a notebook with her when she went to the penthouse? I do hope there will be another story with Armand that gives more of this world she's created. More of his past, and brings in more of Eric and Meredith, because of his "like" for Meredith, where she can elaborate more on who they are.

2: Bring Out Your Dead

If it weren't for the tie in's to other books and a pickup of a couple of past story threads this would have been better. I was too often asking myself to remember past stories and what I remember of Sebastian, this was not the Sebastian that I remembered, so that mucked up the characterization for me. Noelle didn't get enough play so I couldn't reconcile her love lost to what Sebastian had become and how he could be so careless of Noelle's feelings.

The use of Damian, who I guess I should remember from a past book, was a waste. One minute he's in fear and when Sebastian arrives he's so calm and uncaring of his life. Very odd.

Yasbelle, I still don't understand who she is, why she is and how she rates a spirit guide.

3:Lucy and the Crypt Casanova

I liked this story the best. Perhaps I could relate better to the klutziness of Lucy and the fight scene in the ally with her falling in the food and clomping around with a box on her foot was just great.

I don't know exactly what her plan was in getting the story about the Ka incubus. It all seems so half hearted with no real purpose and when he's caught she takes no advantage to tell the story. Also, she learns from the Voodoo guy who loves his doll, about the Ka incubus, and that there is a way the victims, who aren't dead, can get some of their youth back? Did they get their youth back? Did the gris gris bag help at all?

I would like to see a more involved book with they two characters as they re-establish their relationship while both working in their respective jobs, TV Host and Detective. I think this would be fun.

All three stories would have been better with more to the. An usually the more is the character development, which, I would expect, would automatically tie up these loose threads. While I can enjoy the humor and potential of these types of stories it does take away, for me, these little things are apparently only needed to push the story but don't mean anything over all. I know these writers are better than this last sentiment, so perhaps they are too confined by short stories and should think better of doing them in the future.

Bottom-line this is a buy. I expect they will help or lead to or be a good addition to the writer's paranormal series for the worlds they have built.

Just One Sip Katie MacAlister Jennifer Ashley Minda Webber 9780505526595 Books Reviews

Love her series & wanted to get copies to fill in missing pieces.
A good anthology can be a gateway into an author's longer works, and this is a fine portal to depart from.
you need to read the series in order but dont worry you can muddle thew without doing that great series and will like more
Book series is amazing. almost finished with it. i'd recommend this series to anyone. The book was in new condition. very nice.
Book was interesting.. bought it for the Katie MacAllister, Sebastian's "Dark One's" story. The other 2 stories were interesting and entertaining. The difference in "vampiric" styles was very unique. All 2 stories had very different perceptions of how vampires work. A worthy read )
The first story by Jennifer Ashley was somewhat different in that the Master Vampire had to have a willing sacrafice to renew his powers. Meredith Black has come for an interview with the reclusive owner of Transylvania Castle, a hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Stefen Erickson is a master vamp who needs to be recharged. He chooses Meredith when he sees her on the hotel video camera. He needs a blood slave, however Meredith in not exactly easy to control.

The story was a little uneven but they finally find their way. It was readable.

The Second was the reason I bought the book, I like Katie McAlister books. I was lucky because this is the story of Sebastion and Noelle, secondary characters from one of her other novels. I enjoyed the story.

The Third was interesting but not outstanding, in fact none of them were that good. This one started out well but somehow the reason for their break-up was not really believable and the length of time they stayed apart was just wrong. Finally she had to beg a bit too much at the end.

If you don't have anything else to read it is O K.
Strike one. Ashley's "Viva Las Vampires" bored me to such an extent I quit reading it less than half-way through. As disappointing as that was, however, it was still the best short story of the three. The last book I read by Ashley was "Penelope and Price Charming", and it was wonderful. If this is the style and genre she is heading for in the future, I can only mourn the loss of a promising author. As it is, I intend to wait for the reviews of her next novel (Mad Bad Duke) before I invest in her name again. Once burned, twice shy, Ashley.

And another swing and miss. MacAlister's "Bring out your Dead" was Zombie cold, and didn't make it over the plate. I wish she'd get off her first person narrative shtick, it's irritating and one-dimensional, and really doesn't have to be used for everything she writes. The first book I read by her, Nobel Intentions, written in the third person, is still one of my favorites, so she does know how to widen her view, and she does know how to entertain, which makes her contribution to this disaster all the more annoying. That rant over, I'll probably stick with her first-person Aisling Grey books for at least one more episode, but she's losing me as a fan very quickly. The fact that her name was predominate on this book makes me suspect that she really doesn't care how many fans she loses.

Webber, an author who I have not read before (and after this debacle will not be on my "must read" list in the future) wrote the third strike in this anthology. She graced us with a heroine who is TSTL (too stupid to live). I put up with her antics for about thirty pages, then flipped to the last page just to see if she got her comeuppance. Sadly, she not only survived her own stupidity, but apparently got rewarded for it. I love fantasy, but that was stretching my credibility way too far.

Sales are important to publishers and editors, I know that. They have children to feed, mortgages to pay off, HMOs to satisfy with outrageous premiums. Still, getting those sales by prostituting their bestselling authors with projects they wouldn't remotely consider by other writers is shameful. Buying off reviewers to give four stars to a book even they wouldn't recommend to a landfill is dishonest and insulting (please, do you really think we haven't noticed the players in your outfield?) The reputations of your house and your authors are in jeopardy. We have children to feed and mortgages to pay as well. Short term thinking guys. Eventually we will quit buying, the game will be over, and we will all lose.
All three stories were fun, fast and amusing. I got this book for Katie MacAlister and to find out what happened to Sebastian and Noelle.
