The Day of the Dead is a free short story about Tomas, one of the vampires in the Cassie Palmer series. I was really curious to know what Tomas did before he reappeared again in the series.
Well, after reading this short story I know. I really love Tomas in the Cassie Palmer series and it was great to read more about him and his past.

Review by: Jackie B on Aug. 01, 2011 :
Tomas was first introduced to us as a minor character in 2006's [book:Touch the Dark|67513], in [book:The Day of the Dead|7623711] he is now on the run intent on putting an end to his evil maker Alejandro. While in a local tavern on his way to confront the Master Vampire he encounters a mysterious young woman who is trying to find her missing brother. The story while short is tense and action packed, one of the finer examples that a book does not have to be 300-400 pages long to give you immense satisfaction and a great look into Tomas's background and current circumstances. The ending leaves the reader cheering Tomas and wishing he had a bigger part to play somewhere in the full length books in the series. (free e-read from Smashwords and also on the author's web site.)

KAREN CHANCE'S "DAY OF THE DEAD" (REVIEW)

This is a short story about a young girl looking for her brother during the "Day of the Dead" celebration in Mexico. She ends up becoming the hostage of a Vampire coven and has to be rescued. This story also involves raising Zombies! A good short story with plenty of heart-stopping action!

Have never read Karen Chance before, and this is a good introduction to her writing. For anyone not yet familiar with this talented author, give The Day of the Dead a try. I'm looking forward to reading more of her work.

Review by: Morgan Muir on April 03, 2011 :
Great short story that features Tomas, a vampire from the Cassie Palmer series. It also introduces Sarah, a tough cookie armed to the back teeth , who is looking for her brother.
I loved the mix of magic, action and the possibility of a ne character on the Karen Chance horizont.

Review by: Ecowitch on Jan. 18, 2011 :
Pretty good short story following Tomas, the vampire from chance's Cassandra Palmer series, as he hunts down his old master Alejandro on the South American Day on the Dead. In doing so he meets up with Sarah and co, an ecclectic group of 'outside contractors' who are on the hunt for Sarah's brother, Jason. Not a bad read with a good mix of action and magic and enough backstory to each of the characters for the reader to follow the story well enough. A good taster to the Plamer series.
