A Mixed Bag

I gave this book 3 stars because I agree with previous reviewers that the quality of the stories is uneven. Some I'd definitely have given 4 stars and some only 2. Perhaps we are not correctly identifying the issue here, however. Perhaps it is just that readers obviously have different tastes and respond best to stories that reflect their preferences.

So, without intending to denigrate the work of any of the writers included in the collection, I'm going to be very specific about some of my likes and my dislikes.

Among those I enjoyed:

"The Judgement" by Anne Perry--This one or Rusch's work was definitely my favorite in the book.

"Corpse Vision" by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

"The Unicorn Hunt" by Michelle West

"Star of David" by Patricia Briggs--Although the ending was sentimental, still I found the story satisfying

And a couple that disappointed or actually annoyed me:

"The Night of Their Lives" by Max Allans Collins--It seemed to me that the whole point of the story was merely to arrive at the final sentence, and that just wasn't enough for me.

"Ninja Rats on Harleys" by Elizabeth A Vaughan--This story annoyed me more than any other in the book. Why? Because there was so much to like about it. I loved the writing, the cast of characters, and the premise. Having established this much, however, the author just stopped. There was no real story here (no there...there). It read like the first chapter of a novel--a novel I might well have enjoyed quite a bit. As is, however, the story more than disappointed.

A great collection

This anthology contains quite a few really good stories. Some are more fanciful than others. Some focus on a crime or crimes, while in others the crime itself is tangential. All of them contain elements of the paranormal to a greater or lesser degree.

Four Stars

Wasn't able to hold my interest.
