It was ok but the first two volumes are better English The 3rd volume of interconnected stories about the rise of vampires is hit and miss, leaning heavily on the miss end of the equation. The problem this time around is twofold. One, the stories simply don’t mesh. One author is writing about wholesale destruction, cities destroyed, people in hiding… and the other is writing a lighthearted story about the beleaguered human dad of a vampire child who worries about being teased for her braces. There is a massive disconnect here. There’s also the problem of splitting single stories into chapters sandwiched between other single stories, which is just jarring because there’s no need for it. Ultimately, neither the format nor the stories themselves work together. Maberry’s overarching theme is still interesting, but overall the book is jarring.

English This is the third anthology of the Vampire Wars so maybe I am getting battle fatigue. This volume was a step down from the first two in my opinion. There were also editing errors which was a little shocking to me since the editor is Jonathan Maberry.

This book is set up similar to the previous with 14 different correspondents giving their reports on the V-Wars from all over the world. Between each report there is a short piece from Maberry. I love Maberry's writing but there is really no connections between his short little filler pieces despite some of them having the same title and being labeled as a preceding part.

I enjoy the tales but there is really no tie-in between the stories. In the previous volumes they did a better job of this with Luther Swan. Not so good in doing so this time.

Also the Crimson Queen hasn't really had much of a role yet. Maybe they are saving this for the last volume which I still plan on reading. English The weakest novel out of the first three novels.

This novel felt a little too much like filler as I didn’t understand the purpose of most of the stories. I enjoyed the stories that touched on the new war that was starting up, or the Crimson Queen and how she was rising in power. I also liked old stories that touched on characters from previous stories in the first two novels. However, I found the majority of the stories were just about random acts of violence without progressing the main plot.

The format was awkward. This novel follows the same format as the other two with all the stories broken up into numerous parts. Instead of reading numerous stories together by reading the novel front to back I would jump through pages so I could start and finish one story at a time. This got a bit tedious as the app I was using wasn’t the greatest.

Overall this was an okay collection of vampire stories. They’re violent and bloody, which I think vampire stories should be like. I originally picked this novel up as I’m a huge Jonathan Maberry fan. To die hard fans I’d say yes try it but to anyone who has never read Maberry start with the Dead of Night series or Joe Ledger series. English Great collection of stories continuing the theme from the first V-Wars novel. For people new to it, this is a book two, so I'd advise you to start with the original. Maberry is as talented an editor as he is a writer though and if you've enjoyed any of his books at all you'll probably love this one just the same.

This collection continues to tell stories in a world in which something awakened junk DNA in people across the world causing them to become the creatures of legend that Vampires, Werewolves, and other creatures are based on. Pulp fiction at it's finest, but who doesn't like a good vampire/werewolf/commando story or ten? English

“Trace didn't even bother wearing a watch any longer. When I'd asked him why, he told me that once a man's taking his last breaths, he doesn't bother counting them.”

*closes book* Wow that was amazing! Okay Dana, deep breath now. You don't want this review to turn into a garbled fangirling mess now do you? Focus.



I wouldn't recommend reading this right before bed, but I would definitely recommend picking up this amazing collection of interlocking horror stories. This is the first time that I have read an anthology where all the stories are connected and I absolutely loved it. Each author has their own unique voice but they all somehow manage to flawlessly go together as an overall story.

I also loved how the vampires in this are not your garden variety vampires that we are all used to reading about now a days. The vampires in this collection are amazing. There is a huge assortment of completely unique vampires that range from incredible super-humans to traditional to gory monsters and beyond. I always appreciate when authors go outside of the norm, especially when it comes to the paranormal.

There were a couple small moments where it felt like the gore was more for the shock value then necessity, but there were only a couple instances where this stood out for me and overall I felt that the violence/gore was not in excess (although perhaps not for the faint hearted).

My favourite stories (although I loved them all) were The Monster Inside by Scot Nicholson and Love Lost by John Everson.

Overall this is an amazing and original collection of vampire stories, and I would recommend this to all fans of paranormal and/or horror.

Wow.
Absolutely fantastic read.
CNPID.
I loved the story and the characters.
So shocked that that could happen.
Definitely made me jump.
Highly recommended.
Definitely worth more than 5 *. English As a disclaimer, this may have been more of a difficult read for me personally as I'm not a big fan of anthologies.

But, I am a HUGE fan of Jonathan Maberry. My only previous introduction to the V-Wars world was through the Crimson Queen graphic novel which I loved. However, this fell a bit flat for me and was really difficult to get into.

This is similar to World War Z in it's storytelling method that feels like newscasts/news articles and honestly, just doesn't appeal to me. I think that had each of the installments been clumped together, that might have flowed a bit easier than being broken up amongst each other.

But, this did give me a great chance to test out a few authors before picking up their full novels and I do like the V-Wars world, it just doesn't flow well for me going from different authors and I'd probably prefer it in just one style.
