Search - Charming the Snake: Savage Scavenge / Seducing the Saint / Carte Blanche

This is all the authors of the fantasy chiklit genre that should actually write decent stuff...and yet...it sucks. It has the feel of self-published internet fiction...or fanfiction or something equally pathetic. I wouldn't have touched this if not for the "big name"...and MJD's story was the best of the three...but all were poorly written and eye-rollingly predictable. Just MHO, of course.

I got this for the MaryJanice Davidson story, so I was disappointed when that story ended right about the time it seemed like it was going to get going. It's only 46 pages long, and definitely not as good as her usual work. It's a followup to another story "Beggerman, Thief" and not having read that, it took me half the story to figure out that when she said "mutes", she meant mutants.

The Melissa Schroeder story was a pair of lovers reunited, and kind of boring even though it was sort of action/adventure trying to locate her missing father.

The Camille Anthony was fairly hot, but the mystery element to the story showed up at the beginning and the end, and was barely mentioned in the middle.

Ditto for the above reviews. A fast, easy read, but ultimately disappointing.

good stories
