Review: Nightshifters
Rating: 2 out of 5

Three short paranormal romance stories:FOR BETTER OR WORSE: Colten is a werewolf seemingly intent on using a silver bullet to end his misery, but his fiancee, who has just discovered his secret, is intent on being with him and saving him from himself.BLIND LOVE: This Beauty and the Beast theme has a doctor cursed by a witch to be a shapshifter and an Elephant Man lookalike. He saves a beautiful girl from a plane crash and nurses her back to health. She is, as luck would have it... blind.SEDUCING THE NIGHT: Rana has been told by a voodoo priestess that in order to save her sick son she must kill his vampire father. Tracking her former lover down and trying to kill him isn't as easy as she had hoped.I noticed other reviewers used the word sappy, and that's entirely appropriate here. I'd add corny, one-dimensional, unintentionally funny, and at times nonsensical, e.g. the perfume issue from "Blind Love" as someone else mentioned and also the back story in "Seducing The Night." "Seducing the Night," almost seemed as if the characters have just met for the first time; when reading conversations that they had, I kind of felt like how well could these two have known each other?I give the author props though, as while this isn't perfect, it isn't exactly badly written. I realize this will come down to personal taste, but all the corn syrup gave me cavities. I can only stomach so many "My Love's" before I want to puke. I'd probably recommend this to someone that enjoys all that sappy sugar, but it was way too much for me personally.
