Mel's Review
1 Triple Goddess Moon
I was excited buying this book because not only I do I love all things paranormal but there was a new Sookie Stackhouse and Night Huntress story in it and they are two of my favorite series. Since there were so many stories in it I was also really hoping to find some new authors to follow. Unfortunately other than the two big named authors whose stories were just ok I got almost nothing out of it. They were rather dull and I struggled through many of them. One or two were clever idea's but thats about it. In all my years of reading this is the first time ever that I wasn't able to make myself finish a book and I have had it for almost a year. I love Kat and Sookie and while the stories were fun they were too short to make it worth paying what they were asking for the book so I would have rather went without. I absolutely hate giving a bad review but I wouldn't waste my time with this one. Not recommended.
