The frequent use of "female" keeps my right eyebrow hovering near my hairline, but I'd be lying if I tried to suggest that I don't enjoy Adrian's books. Her take on vampire romances isn't something I would usually enjoy, but the Midnight Breed series is like chocolate chip cookies - and my sweet tooth is only getting worse as time goes on.

While I enjoyed the most recent book in the Otherworld collection, I did not find Tales of the Otherworld to be as entertaining as Armstrong''s previous collection, Men of the Otherworld. Both books present history and background that is entertaining to fans of Armstrong''s series, but would likely confuse readers who have not already been introduced to the principal characters. However, I always enjoy the opportunity to explore the world and characters a little further, and Tales of the Otherworld allows just that.
