I love anthologies. They let you sample different genres or writting styles. This anthology ia all about the urban fantasy with the hottest authors. From the three authors I've read the series of they are one shots
 Faith Hunter's Signatures of the Dead comes before the series starts. It gives fairly good background info as well as, clarify some referances made in the books. Patricia Briggs's "Seeing Eye" also hapends to characters that are in a book of the Alpha & Omega series but doesn't hold spoilers just gives the universe it ia set in more depth. Jim Butcher... Well nothing goes easy for Dreaden not even getting a beer.
  
Yeah... I wasnt impressed with this at all but i persevered and finished it.

The family unit was just...strange--at least Alex's parent's were anyway. Do people really react like that? Her sisters were okay but also a little wooden. The secondary characters also didn't really sit well with me.

It could all do with the fact that I'm really into reading my urban fantasy/paranormal romance books right now and deviated off track since I'm starting to run low, but i just don't think I was in the right headspace for contemporary romances.

It didn't draw me in and i was continually bored throughout.

The Patroness' story continues in this one and we see the return of Kylian. The heat is still there between them and we have a few hot scenes. I'm loving the build up between them and cant wait for book three because I've heard some good things from the author in relation to these two.

The plotline was just as engaging in this as the first and we see more characters join and some of our favourites return as we go on another exciting journey through the streets of Paris.

This is a must if you want to find a new name in urban fantasy.
