I must admit I was a bit sceptic, when first i bought this book as there was several of the authors in the book I simply did not know. The only on I knew was Laurell K. Hamilton and of her books I only like the Merry Gentry series. But I was more than compensated for my risk in buying the book. If you like modern horror, where the demons, black witches etc. are not always completely evil (more human) and you like the story in a modern-like or contemporary world then these stories are great. I must admit that these authors also know how to throw in a little good sex or erotica, without it becomes tacky. If you are new to this genre then these short stories are also a good place to start.

Laurell K Hamilton's name is used "above the title" as the hook to sell this book and it is with this I have a problem. I will admit that this book was published before her Anita Blake novel, Incubus Dreams, but I read the novel first. So I was very disappointed to quickly realise that her story in the book is just an abridged version of the first part of Incubus Dreams. Consequently I could not be bothered to finish it.
On the other hand, Mary Alice Davidson has taken the trouble to write a short story in the Betsy Taylor genre. Betsy is not one of the main characters in this story, only appearing near the end, but it's a light hearted vampire tale of a incident which takes place sometime in the 3 month period between the first two Betsy books.
The two stories by Charlaine Harris and Rebecca York are much darker tales of good versus evil, revenge and even detective mystery. Both well worth reading.
Pity about the Anita Blake, but buy it for the other three stories.

As a big fan of Laurell k I bought this book mainly because she was a co-authour in it. Well I was dissapointed by Laurell K's part in this book, but I was also dissapointed by her last merry gentry book, there was no plot and it was all sex. As my tytle says though I found a fantastic authour while reading this a completely original source 'mary-janice davidson' wow, her story was funny, original and a real eye-opener. I right away bought all her books I could find and have been reading and re-reading since then. If I learnt anything from this, if your dissapointed by one story, doesn't mean they are all crap. ( if your buying this book for laurell k just go onto her website the whole story is on there).

I got this book because I have desperately tried to like Laurell k hamilton's work. Unfortunately the story here is from another book, and frankly it's disappointing. Read more
