review 1: Both stories were pretty good. Although the endings on both felt rushed and a little out of the blue. Lanyon's gift for characterizations still shines through and I wish we would have gotten a litte bit of actual Fitch and Finn interaction, rather than just the aftermath. Also it's the first thing of Price's that I've really enjoyed (the only other thing I've read being some of her Petit Morts stories.) and I would have like to have seen more of the Anton-Ray relationship growing.
review 2: Lanyon's "Lovers and Other Strangers" - I love that Lanyon usually writes about characters that need to overcome physical obstacles - sickness, injuries etc. - and since hurt/comfort is my favorite genre, his books/stories always push my buttons. And this one was no exceptio... moren. Though I would have liked to see Fitch from Finn's point of view too, at least one good memory that would have proven that Fitch really loved his brother.Price's "Body Art" - this one kind of reminded me of Twin Peaks, a closed off community with crazy, crazy people. The characters were likable - even though personally, I wouldn't have fallen for either of them - but I rather didn't get why the victim was killed in the first place or what the killer's plan was, not really. I don't know. less
