In this anthology directed by Charlaine Harris, some authors from Mystery Writers of America, used to write novels, the challenge of writing a new fantasy.
First let me say that the book is a beautiful object. Coverage and the same slice are beautiful. The book is soft to the touch and the presentation is very neat. Only thing I missed: a summary to see at a glance the present authors and titles of the news. Especially when at the end of the book a little biography of each is given, it would be easy to find what news they have written.
Apart Charlaine Harris, I do not know any of the authors of the book is also the news that interested me most. I was eager to read it but it disappointed me ... It is a sort of spin-off of Volume 7 of the community in the south. If you have not read this saga which do not come to this book, I think it will be harder to understand history. I found this new interest-free and Charlaine had not given much trouble to write.
Nevertheless I had a great time with this book. Some other strange news is exciting and other even frightening. Most authors combine the fantasy and detective genres. So we are seeing mysterious disappearances, ghostly apparitions, we encounter werewolves and vampires who are leading the investigation ...
For some authors, too faithful to the detective genre, fantasy is just a pretext to start a story, but others have really played the game and we have laid very original stories. Each new
reads quickly, they average about thirty pages. The authors' style is fluid and captivating. With this book I discovered many authors and I hope to read through new their novels. My new favorite
are those of William Kent Krueger, Jeff Somers, Elaine Viets, Jack Fredrickson, Carolyn Hart ...
In conclusion, it was an entertaining read. Fantasy and police are involved with flying colors. Most new I liked even though I was a little disappointed some. This book also helped me to discover new authors.
