review 1: 4.5 stars!I’m just going to admit that I picked up PREDATORY because of Dianne Duvall and while I enjoyed all the short stories, my review is based on Ms. Duvall’s short, IN STILL DARKNESS.Having said that, I really, really enjoyed IN STILL DARKNESS. Writing a short seems like it’d be a tricky proposition. I mean the author has to fit a lot within a short: introduce characters and make the reader sympathize for them, develop a quick, fast paced plot, nurture a growing attraction, and wrap things up to realistically foster a happily-ever-after ending. Wow, that’s a lot! Out of the shorts I’ve read, I’ve always had a hard time with the insta-love that happens as a result of trying to cram everything in, but thankfully that didn’t happen with IN STILL DARKNESS. ... moreI don’t know how Ms. Duvall did it, but the story felt complete and wasn’t rushed for me. As always, I love the characters and the world Ms. Duvall has created. Richart and Jenna were believable and great together. I also enjoyed the interaction with Jenna’s son, John. Sarah and Roland continue to warm my heart and I was glad to see them. And can I just say…dude! I love Sheldon! The witty mix of dialogue, action, and romance makes IN STILL DARKNESS a great PNR short!I’m now anxiously awaiting book five in the Immortal Guardians series, Night Unbound.
review 2: Could not finish Out of Control by Alexandria Ivy. Loved both Ties That Bind by Nina Bangs and In Still Darkness by Dianne Duvall. I have to read more by those to authors. I figured out who the killer was by the second victim in High Stakes by Hannah Jayne The story wasn't really that good, so I just went to the last chapter to verify that I was right. I can't give this book more than 2 stars even though I loved half the book. less
