Thank you to Cemetery Dance for providing a review copy. 

I really like the concept of this anthology - stories from older authors, authors working now, and stories from exciting new voices. As always, it's a mixed bag, with the first two stories being outstanding. The final story was a DNF, as I was bored to tears. Overall a solid collection and a cool concept, so I hope there will be more Bloodlines. 3.5 stars
