When I first found this writer I was really excited because they were just what I was looking for vampires, supernatural, with a little mystery in the mix to keep it interesting. But with The Killing Dance, one of the stories in this collection, something changed and not for the better. I don't know what happened but Hamilton stopped writing a great story in exchange for writing about sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Everyone just started having sex and every character wanted to have sex with the main character which, for me, makes the story less believable I guess. The books in this collection are still pretty good, but these are the last of them, from here on out they only become worse. ( )
