From the biggest names in paranormal romance, this book is filled with over 25 stories about vampires! In the world of the undead there are strange codes of conduct, dark rituals and mating games. Lilith Saintcrow, Keri Arthur, Jenna Black, Rachel Vincent & Vicki Petterson are just a few of the great authors who contributed to this mammoth book. Vampire Romance is the name and that is exactly what you get in this huge anthology.

I could go into detail and review each individual story in this book but that would take a lot of time. The general conclusion is that this book was amazingly good for an anthology. Not only do you have a wide selection of super authors but there are also alot of brilliant stories. Some of the authors have even written stories with characters from their popular books while others show they can write something different for a change.

Sure some were not to my tastes, for instance I am not a historical vampire romance fan, however the book in general was of very high standard and a must read for any paranormal romance fans out there. This was the best anthology I have read in a while and I hope they do this kind of collection again. Of course there are some other authors I would have liked to see in this one but all in all the genre was represented very well. Oh but there were no male writers...

Sam Chase has always kept her psychic abilities to herself and seeing something that is about to happen has saved her life more than once. Now that the Agency has figured out her secret she is recruited to help solve a strange case that can't be explained. Joined by some other young women who also have special abilities they have to join forces to find out why bodies are going missing from Arlington cemetery.

The new sisterhood contains a voodoo priestess, a witch and a girl who has been especially released from prison to join the team. With the help of Bear, a forensic investigator who doesn't believe in anything supernatural, the girls have their work cut out. Sam and Bear get closer to finding the answers they need to solve the case and also get closer to each other. Will they manage to save their country from the dark evil that is lurking in the shadows?

Dark Nights, Dark Dreams is the first book in the Sisterhood of the Sight series. My first impression is that it was neither good or bad but was just a building block for what is to come. This showed alot of promise but I really want to see what happens next. Sure this is nothing compared to the Darkwing Chronicles, also by this author. However it was new, unique and interesting.

So give this one a chance because it could just be the start of something good. On the other hand it could be the beginning of nothing ;) I have faith in Mrs Russe though and can't wait to see what book two in this series brings.
