Laurell K. Hamilton - "The Girl Who Was Infatuated With Death"
Small but perfectly formed - it's just always nice, what to read from the Anita verses and therefore I also like the story very well. Gripe: The story is, as already written, very short and therefore I would as Anita Blake readers are already talking about the anthology I buy only because of her me.
Charlaine Harris - "One Word Answer"
Here I find it a bit annoying that this story, which so directly is the prequel to "Definitely Dead", is reprinted in this anthology and not in said Roman. That's why you should have already read as Sookie Stackhouse readers because an otherwise in DD some things missing. However, I have my doubts whether you can start as a reader, the (still) knows nothing of the Sookie series, as much with the story. A stand-alone short story would have been better MMN.
MaryJanice Davidson ("Biting in Plain Sight") / Vickie Taylor ("Bloodlust"): Both stories are for me in the category "very nice, but you do not have read". Quite nice to casually read, but they do not encouraged to read more of the two authors. For this, the characters, the stories I was then too bland and too predictable.
Angela Knight - "Galahad":
Has not spoken to me and I have not read the story to end. The world in which the story plays, to me strange (Merlin and Nimue as aliens, the only "visit" were on earth, the villain was an alien) was. But what has really put me off: After reading the first few pages, I have the rest of the story just flown over and at every place where I have reattached, the two protagonists had just sex - ok, also an anthology's erotic vampire stories, but for me that was a little too much of a good thing. ;)
Therefore, there is of me 2 stars: one for LKHs history and for those of Charlaine Harris.
