If there had been sexy time it would have been five stars. Death Warmed Over by Rachel Caine 4.5 Excellent PNR of a resurrection witch and a long fallen hero. Tom, the werewolf seeks out the powerful blind witch to save his brother from an evil coven. Seeing Eye by Patricia Briggs 4.5 It’s the Tom and Moira origin story! I’ve read it before and I enjoyed it again. PN Elrod's contribution was ridiculous and I feel completely incongruous with the overall theme of the rest of the stories. Patricia Brigss and Rachel Caine deliver good stories with emotion. However, Jim Butcher's story is the same character I've read in other compilations and I still feel I am missing something. Charlaine Harris' story Bacon is in the same universe of the Sookie Stackhouse series but the story itself is a stand-alone with new characters. I've always felt a short story should stand on its own rather than a continuation of an existing "universe" or storyline.
If your not a regular reader of some of these already established characters it may be confusing. However, I have to say I was somewhat disappointed in the quality of several of the stories. I bought this compilation because I am a fan of several of the writers.
