review 1: A novella collection by four different authors is hard to rate. I found all of the stories to be well-written and enjoyable, but none of them would scream "Read the books in this universe!" at me if I weren't already familiar with the authors. Hence the three-star overall rating. I enjoyed "Magic Mourns" the most, partly because I'm currently reading the Kate Daniels books. The Charlaine Harris story was good, but since it was about characters who barely play a part in the Sookie Stackhouse stories, it didn't really add anything to my understanding or insight into that world or those people, which was disappointing. The Nalini Singh story seems to be an introduction to two characters, and succeeded in making me want to see more of them. The Meljean Brook story grabbed me t... morehe least, but I also have the least familiarity with her mythology, so I suspect that's the source of my less-enthusiastic reaction. Recommended as supplements to the other books in each author's series, but not as a standalone collection.
review 2: A fairly fun collection of stories. Like most paranormal stories featuring women, they tend to have to throw sex and romance in there. I think that's probably the most annoying thing in this genre. It seems every paranormal series focusing on a female that I've ever read has this hang-up. I'd love to have a series where the female protagonist doesn't have to be hot to get into whatever guy's (or woman's) pants. less
