Theron's Boys by Kiernan Kelly - 5 Nymphs
Christian Wolfe is a bartender and dancer at Blood Alley, an elite club owned by Theron Shade. He only admits he might have declined Theron’s proposal of being Turned if he had known what the ramifications associated with becoming a vampire had encompassed. But then again he does gain two important possessions by agreeing: the gift of immortality and his first bite from true love. Life, as he knows it, is threatened and Christian decides it’s time to end his meager existence as one of Theron’s boys and start enjoying life as a man in love.

Inferno by Matt Brooks - 5 Nymphs
Blaise has decided to go to Inferno for a night of dancing and sweat-slick enjoyment. What he gains is a companion named Robert. Robert knows the road that Blaise has only half traveled and offers to help him complete his journey with an extra bonus he didn’t expect.

Chiaroscuro by Erastes - 5 Nymphs
Michel de Posco is an artist struggling to pay off his family’s debt to his Patron. The weasel of a man has stolen a great deal from Michel’s family but he is in no position to show his contempt. Michel is commissioned to paint the portrait of a man whose essences he will never capture on his canvas. His beauty is beyond compare. But what Michel doesn’t anticipate is the true gifts that will be bestowed upon him by the one who has captured his attention and his heart.

Immortal Steps by Kira Stone - 5 Nymphs
There is a hidden society of vampires among us who use Hunters to help those with vampiric DNA complete their change before it is too late. The DNA is a silent killer if you do not change and Tain O’Halloran has no idea of the danger that lurks in his body. Kyle Lohan has watched the brilliant dancer and has waited years for the privilege of assisting with his change and then claiming his heart and body as his own. After all, Kyle is Tain’s most dedicated fan.

The authors of Night Moves have brought us four fantastic stories about vampires. While each story presents characters with an allure that keeps readers begging for more; the similarities will end there. I was enthralled with the novel as a whole. The Vampires all had the ability to gain their mates with a healthy dose of kindness laced with a sex appeal too intense to be denied. And in the blink of an eye they were ready to protect those they loved with a fierce determination that enemies could never stand against. There is no weak link in this anthology. Readers of the genre will find the stories intriguingly sensual, laced with romance, and lessons of self discover.
