So I really only LOVED two of the stories in this collection SO MUCH. The two that I loved I wish were full-blown books, because I could read more about those for a long time! The rest were a blend of pretty good, so-so, and one I could not even finish. My overall rating is just the average of how I rated all the individual stories, as I did not know the best way to do it! It ended up being just a little more than a 3.5 average so I just kept it at a solid 3 rating since we can't give half stars here. It was a nice break from long books to read a collection of short stories.

Vampires in the Lemon Grove - 3/5
