The Book Gourmet

Nothing to write home about, that's for sure. There were a couple of good stories in here, but were unfortunate to share space with other not-so-good stories, and so seemed rushed and not long enough. The potential was there, though.

The Good:

Paranormal Romance Blues by Kelley Armstrong (good humor)

Taking Hold by Anya Bast (wanted to read more about Mac and Lily)

How To Date a Superhero Jean Johnson (it promised, but didn't show the "big scene")

Trinity Blue by Eve Silver (again, wanted to read more)

Grace of Small Magics by Ilona Andrews (the absolute best in the bunch)

Night Vision by Maria V. Snyder (interesting premise, too little space)

Pack by Jeaniene Frost (what's not to love about werewolves, especially hunky ones, although the heroine was the most annoying one of the bunch)

The Dream Catcher by Allyson James (definitely not long enough)

The So-So: (with a little more work, and more plot, they might've worked)

John Doe by Anna Windsor

Light Through Fog by Holly Lisle

Once A Demon by Dina James

The Princess and the Peas by Alyssa Day

At Second Bite by Michelle Rowen

In Sheep's Clothing by Meljean Brook

The Bad: (utterly unnecessary, IMO)

The Temptation of Robin Green by Carrie Vaughn

Succubus Seduction by Cheyenne McCray

Daniel by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp

The Tuesday Enchantress by Mary Jo Putney

Pele's Tears by Catherine Mulvany

When Gargoyles Fly by Lori Devoti

The Lighthouse Keeper and His Wife by Sara Mackenzie

Blood Song by Lynda Hilburn

Blue Crush by Rachel Caine

The Wager by Kinley MacGregor
