A couple of weeks
ago I received ‘Dark Bites’ by Sherrilyn Kenyon through the Little Brown Book Group in exchange for an honest review. I never read a book by Sherrilyn Kenyon
before, but it sounded like an exciting book. ‘Dark Bites’ is a collection of
short stories. There are twelve short stories in this collection and there are all
from the Dark-Hunter world. 

Since I never read
book by Sherrilyn Kenyon before, I didn’t really know what I could expect when
I started reading. I must say I was pleasantly surprised about ‘Dark Bites’. These
stories are filled with romance, sexy scenes, mysterious powers and many
different kind of creatures. I really liked this book from the very beginning.
These short stories are all very different, meaning they are about many different
characters but all these stories are filled with a lot of romance. This was
just the perfect book to read on a cold and rainy day.

The stories I liked
the most where definitely ‘House of The Rising Son’ and ‘Winter Born’. In ‘House
of The Rising Son’ we read about Aricles and a lot of different Greek Gods and
I really enjoyed that story. Especially because I haven’t read a lot of books
about Greek Gods and I found the story very original. And Aricles was a perfect
character. He was so pure good and I could totally imagine him being surrounded
by many girls but him just having eye for one girl. Sigh!!!!

And in ‘Winter Born’
I really loved Dante. In the beginning I thought he would be this very arrogant
handsome guy but later on I realized he was just a normal guy with a lot of
unresolved fears from his childhood.

‘Dark Bites’ was
definitely a really nice read. Although sometimes I would feel sad that the
stories where so short,  I also got
really excited to soon read a new story. I would definitely recommend this book
for the holidays. I think there the perfect mix of fantasy, romance and action.
And because the stories are so short, you can easily read a story before
dinner! 😀
