review 1: I have no idea how I missed this little gem! Usually when you cram 15 stories in 1 anthology you get mediocrity. Not this time. All 15 of these authors are experienced with the short story. The first 2 stories are 3 stars. Sorry, but I just can't get into Sookie. The rest are all solid 4 star stories about werewolves at Christmas. Christmas actually DOES play a huge part in these stories. It's not just a token. These are true werewolves, blood, guts & all. My favorites story is probably "The Werewolf Before Christmas" by Kat Richardson. Matt has been a VERY naughty werewolf! If you enjoy paranormal, give this one a holiday try!
review 2: Going to try and do this story by story:Gift Wrap by Charlaine Harris - It was okay, I have read all the Sookie books now s
... moreo it wasn't really clear what books this story is set in between. It was a litle creepy with the whole fairy godfather sending you a werewolf boy toy.The Haire of the Beast by Donna Andrews - Funny and a little bit evil, turning an ex into a dog permanently is a bit OTT.Lucy, at Christmastime by Simon R. Green - I really liked this one, the twist at the end was well done. So sure it was about a girlfriend, but no...The Night Things Changed by Dana Cameron - I liked the Vampire and Werewolf angles, although I feel like this is part of a series and some of the terms and references to historians weren't super easy to follow. The little bit of romance was good too, and the buffy the vampire slayer references.The Werewolf before Christmas by Kat Richardson - Really liked how the werewolf ended up replacing Rudolph - not as much a an of the name Santa was being referred to as changing every sentence.Fresh Meat by Alan Gordon -Il Est Ne by Carrie Vaughn - The Perfect Gift by Dana Stabenow - Christmas Past by Keri Arthur - SA by J.A.Konrath - The Star of David by Patricia Biggs - You'd Better Not Pout by Nancy Pickard - Rogue Elements by Karen Chance - Milk and Cookies by Rob Thurman - Keeping Watch over his Flock by Toni L.P. Kelner - less

A nice collection of novels, each one building their own Christmas legend around werewolves.
