While I did receive and advance copy of the collection in exchange for my review--I did want to state that my original review to book 1 Heartsblood was given prior to becoming a beta tester for McCray...it was actually BECAUSE of this book that I contacted her asking when the sequel was to be released!!!My original Heartsblood review:Just wanted to write a short positive review for this book.  Others have summarized it very well, so I will just stick to my opinion.I have to admit that it took me a little while to get into the book.  This was my first exposure to Carolyn McCray as an author, and while I love my paranormal/vampire/romance stories this was definitely a different "feel" for me.  I am very happy that I stuck to it because at the end I thoroughly enjoyed the book.  Looking back, I think the slow start was necessary in order to fully appreciate the middle and end.This book does end in a type of cliffhanger---the main storyline has an ending but you are left wanting to know what happens next with the main characters.  If you are one who MUST have a happy ending, then I wouldn't suggest this book for you...although it leaves you with hope, it is definitely not HEA ending but I do believe it is the ending that the book needed.The fact that you get a sneak peak at Book 2 was a bit of torture for me because it is not out yet!!!Recommend: YESReRead: Yes, because I will need to refresh before book 2 ;-)Purchase Price: $0.99 but I would recommend up to $1.99 due to length (400+ pages) and very little editing (can't remember any, which means good editing for me)  although I believe book 1 of any series should be $0.99 because I probably wouldn't have taken a chance with a new author for more than that.I hope this review helps you....if not, comment and let me know what you thought was missing :)
