I have to admit that that the attraction to me for this anthology was the Dianne Duvall title, Phantom Embrace. It was by far my favorite of the 4 books, so I am going to give brief reviews of them all.
On The Hunt - 3.5 stars
This was a good complete story of love reuniting. I didn't feel lost at all for not having read the other books in the series. I loved how Mika and Bailey both learned from past mistakes and the sweet gesture at the end was wonderful.
Scorpius Rising - 3 stars
Good, Complete story. The disease fighting/suspense aspect was more prominent that the Deke/Nora love story, but it worked.
Phantom Embrace - 4.5 stars
A parallel story to that of Night Unbound. I loved the story of Yuri, a character we have seen in previous books. It was fun to get to know him more and I really enjoyed the direction the author took with this story. She keeps surprising me with her ability to keep the Immortal Guardians fresh.
Stake Out - 3 stars
A cute and funny take on vampires. Well written and the suspense element was handled very well.
Definitely an anthology that is worth the time to read.
