Toby D. (bookswapper) reviewed Not good standalone stories on 3/9/2009 + 188 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

Almost all the authors in this anthology are top rated paranormal romance writers, but the stories were not very romantic or compelling. Rachel Caine's pirate short story and P.N. Elrod's caterer with an Elvis act as music for a wedding were the best two stories. All the other stories seemed to rely on being part of a universe that already exists and could not get into the short stories as there was not time for character development or much plot. I have read some/most books by those authors before but could not get into the derivative stories. Glad I got this at the library, as I had been looking forward to it and can now cancel my wishlist, not a keeper.
