review 1: So, we got four stories here.First up Christine Warren writes about Lilli Corbin. A supernatural bounty hunter. She has to go retrieve a book for a Prince of Hell that she made a deal with. While trying to steal the book, she meets a dude and six hours later they're super in love. Typical.Story wasn't bad, pretty well written.Second is Marjorie M. Liu writing about Maggie. Maggie seems like a typical chick... Up until she has to battle a bunch of incubi that are stealing women. Wasn't bad.Third is Caitlin Kittredge writing about Jack Winter, a British mage that also sings for a punk band. Jack is supposed to help Ava kill some demon. I want to read more about this Jack fella. He seems interesting.And, last but not least, Jenna Maclaine writes about Cin Craven, a vampire wi... moretch battling a demon that is killing off vampires in London. Pretty good, might have to check out more of those books.I love anthologies because it opens me up to new writers.This one is recommended if you like paranormal books. And don't mind... icky sex scenes. Not regular sex scenes. There's an icky one in the story by Marjorie M. Liu.
review 2: Devil's Bargain: C-The Robber Bride: ADown In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go: B-Sin Slayer: BDevil's Bargain was cliché and melodramatic. I don't know that I've read Christine Warren before this, and I won't be rushing to read anything else by her anytime soon.The Robber Bride was wonderful -- a fresh, engaging voice, in a starkly beautiful landscape. I hope Liu has written more stories for this world. A great story!Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go -- It's not that this was poorly written, but I just couldn't bring myself to care for any of the characters...which is a fatal flaw for any literature in my book (heh). Also, I felt like the plot was unnecessarily complicated -- twists for the sake of twists, rather than to enhance the story.Sin Slayer -- I have never read a Cin Craven book, only some of the short stories in anthologies like this. I wasn't overly impressed by the others so I wanted to skip this one, but I felt like I had to give it a go so I could justify marking this "read" in Goodreads. I was pleasantly surprised. I'll almost certainly check out a full-length after reading this short story. less
