The Vampire Coalition: The Complete Collection Boxed Set (Ethan’s Mate, Rory’s Mate, Nathan’s Mate, Liam’s Mate, Daric’s Mate)

Usually when I buy a collection I read one of the books then go off and read another author or genre, not this time. I read all 5 books one after another. Fun, lighthearted and thoroughly enjoyable.

WOW!! Paranormal lust. I am in love with the Hale brothers, each one just as hot as the next. Ethan is one of my favourites since it was my first read, it was him who got me addicted to these reads. I have to say once I was introduced to Daric, I was like Ethan who hehe!! What? He is the king of all vampires, I have a thing for men in power and these vampires have power in spades. Liam and Rory are Ethan's twin brothers with Nathan as the eldest brother, he has kept is brothers together since their parents were killed by fallen vampires. Together all good vampires fight against the fallen who try to destroy humans and kill mates of the vampires who are lucky enough to be mated and find the keeper of their soul. Each brother has their own story to tell, all hoping they find their one true mate. Many vampires believe they will never be mated, especially Liam and Daric as they are healers for all vampires who need there help, healers have not been mated for thousands of years. The chemistry in these stories is off the charts epic. I could re-read this series over and over. Once you get to Daric's Mate you will know all the characters very well, it will be hard to pick a favourite. Thank you for writing a fantastic series Author JS Scott.

All the stories were ok…….Very repetitive and predictable. A few funny moments but overall I found by the time I got to the third story I was bored. I did read them all but I have to say by the time I got to the last one I couldn’t remember who the first story was about.I was on holiday when I read them so didn’t feel cheated or hard done by. I can think of worse ways to spend my time!Read them if you have a few hours spare and you don’t want to brain drain haHaHa

The basic concept of this vampire universe if fine, but it does tend to lead to a set of stories that have strong similarities. There were variations, especially in the final two, but, because this is a collection of short stories, there is little character development, so the basic plot lines are very predictable. There was just about enough action to keep me reading, but I did waver at the end of the third instalment when I started to feel that things were getting just a bit too sugary and repetative. Liam and Daric's stories have more plot complexity than the first three, and this kept me going until the end.

I didn't really expect much from these books but boy, was I wrong!! I haven't read a book for a long time that I desparately wanted to keep reading while not wanting to finish it at the same time. The brothers are wonderful and found myself getting drawn into them and their mates stories. These are quick reads which is a pity but it is just enough to give you that quick vampire fix that we all need daily. I would really like more stories like these. Old as I am I found myself enjoying the stories immensely and I would recommend them to anyone, so long as you are over 18 that is!!!! Right, now I think I need a very cold shower lol

This is for mature readers only.I really liked these vampires and the premise of having their souls kept inside their soulmates until they finally meet and mate. The relationship between the brothers and their loyalty to each other is well captured and developed. Each of the men get to meet their mates - eventually. Like with most series, the authors seem to keep the best for last and this was no different.

The first was okay. Second not bad. Third got bored. Fourth skim read. Fifth didn't bother with. This may have been a cheapie but the books were so short that there was little character development and the plots were thin and repetitive. If you are looking for books with a bit of romance and relatively graphic sex but with a twist of supernatural I recommend Stephanie Rowe who writes much stronger storylines with solid characters. Overall this omnibus was a letdown.

I am not a fan of books involving Vampires, werewolves, aliens or anything like that, so I was extremely surprised when i was recommended this book by a friend who had already purchased it. I am happy that she persuaded me to purchase this bundle as i extremely enjoyed them and would love it if another set of books were released to continue the stories. Definitely am going to keep an open mind now whenever I am recommended something that i don't normally read.
