Dark Heat: The Dark Kings Stories

There was nothing that I liked about Dark Heat, a collection of four short stories about dragon shifting men who live in the Scottish Highlands. Not the characters nor the world building nor the plot nor the romances. Nothing. Oh, wait. I did like that the stories were short.

It’s normal procedure when reviewing a collection of short stories to summarize and assign a grade to each one. In the case of Dark Heat, I don’t really need to do that because three of the four stories were basically carbon copies of each other, with the fourth story as sort of an extended epilogue that neatly ties the other three up in a pretty, plaid bow. And I didn’t like any one of them more or less than any other.
