Book blurb from Amazon:
Bad days, we all have them. Even the supernatural beings among us. Do
their powers and abilities make it easier or harder? You be the judge!
In this anthology you'll see those doldrums days from every angle. From
funny to tragic, from dragon to vampire, whatever your paranormal
craving we have a flavor just for you! Enjoy one short story after
another from many of today's hot and upcoming authors!
**My thoughts**
Vampires, witches, and zombies, oh my! And elementals and weres! You name it, this book has it!
I
had purchased this book during a sale, because I am familiar with many
of the Anchor Group authors. I was ecstatic when my book club chose to
read it this month. By this time, I was caught up with even more of the
authors than I had been before reading it.
I
love reading books by Elizabeth Kirke, Christy Sloat, Stacey Rourke,
and Karen Pokras Toz. All four of these ladies have stories featured in
here, along with 9 others. Some of the stories provide more insight into
characters in the full-length novels, such as the short about Dani and
the kids by Elizabeth Kirke. Stacey Rourke's story about Keni was
already familiar, as it also appears in one of her novellas. Christy
Sloat's short about a vampire is an example of an author showing off a
different side of her writing skills. Karen Pokras Toz's Nate Rocks is
one of my current favorite middle grade series.
I
also really liked Dana Piazzi's "Full Moon Flip Flop" and "Once Bitten,
Twice Shy" by Katherine Polillo. I am not usually a fan of short
stories, but these kept me plenty entertained.
This
book is a fantastic introduction to the authors who make up the Anchor
Group. It has something for everyone. Following each story is that
author's bio and a listing of their other books, so you can catch up on
ones you may have missed before.
