The only reason I gave this book 3 stars was the Sherrilyn Kenyon story. It was the only one that made this book interesting. The other stories were bland, boring and, at times, tedious to read. Worth picking up if you're following the Dark Hunter/Dream Hunter series though. ( )

Stroke of Midnight

A very mixed bag of stories. All are paranormal romance stories.
The first is Sherrilyn Kenyon's Winter Born, set during Dragon*con I'm sure it would amuse me greatly if I had ever been to that con. Though I did recognise some of the moments from cons I have been to. Two were-panthers find each other but they're supposed to be enemies. Staying together may need help.
Born of the Night by Amanda Ashley is a historical werewolf story and fairly predictable. Still fun.
Make is Last Forever by L A Banks is part of her world and is about a man, a woman and destiny. Not my favourite in the book but still quite readable.
Red Moon Rising by Lori Handeland - an author finds herself at the mercy of a skinwalker and has to find her way out. The man who helps her has his own plans. I quite liked this one and want to read more by both her and Amanda Ashley. Sherrilyn Kenyon is already a must buy author. ( )

This is a great anthology. As usual Sherrilyn kenyon comes through with an amzaing story. L.A. Banks doesn't really do it for me, but she isn't bad and Lori Handeland holds her own. ( )

Pandora is a Were-Panter who has been stolen back though time to be the forced mate to a group of modern day Were-Panthers. She has come to Dragon*Con in Atlanta in the hope of getting help from Archeron to return home. Ash, as usual, does things his own way and sends Dante instead, also a Were-Panther, but with much better morals than the ones Pandora is running from. Essentially, they find themselves mated and have to decide if they are going to stay together.

There really isn't much to this story. It's not even 80 pages and runs reused themes and situations. Pandora and Dante are nice characters, but the story is really only saved by Simi's cameo appearance with Ash. It's a nice, quick little read for a evening, but I'm glad I got my copy cheap and didn't pay full price for it, especially since I won't be reading the other stories in the anthology. ( )
