Night Shift by Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews, Lisa Shearin
5.0
The five stars are for the first three short-stories.
Secrets at Midnight by Nalini Singh
Finally, Nalini Singh offers us the story of Bastien aka Frenchie, the brother of Mercy, when he met his mate, Kirby, a young woman totally ordinary ... or at least in appearance.
I'm such a big fan of the Psy-Changeling series and I LOVE reading this story with a lot of passion and humour but also a touch of mystery. The story is not really refined but the style of Nalini is perfect as usual.
Magic Steals by Ilona Andrews
Ahhh I totally loved seeing Jim and Dali again !! They are part of my favorite secondary characters and I soo missed them.
Although they are officially together, Dali has not finished yet to worry about her beautiful Jim. However, her love life will have to wait because it seems that someone decided to totally eradicate the inhabitants of a small building by making them live their worst nightmare ...
I loved seeing Dali in action with all of her Indonesian magic but also her soooo cute relationship with Jim with passion, humor and tenderness. I am also a big fan of Dali's mother xD
The two first short-stories have been as good as I expected from two of my favorite authors =) The next one is a discovery =D
Lucky Charms by Lisa Shearin
This short-story was a really great surprise. This is a prequel of the SPI Files series that I eagerly read after that. Here we discover the first case of Mac as seer which earned her the little bared ass figurine of leprechaun but it's also her first meeting with Ian who was far from enthusiastic =) But then again who would be excited to find five horny leprechauns who escaped at a bachelor party. A story full of humor, magic and adventure with a touch of romance that predicts a lot of steamy times =) Big mention for the big bad and sexy goblin, who reminds me sooo much of Jareth (from Labyrinth). I hope we will see him again in future books =)
The Beast of Blackmoor by Milla Vane
To be honest, I have only read the first chapters of Milla Vane's short-story (aka Meljean Brook) I'm not a big fan of heroic fantasy stories and although I usually like Meljean Brook, the fact that I found myself in the middle of a fantastic medieval story after reading three urban fantasy short-stories ... Well I was a little lost. So maybe I would read this one another day but not now.
After devouring all Milla Vane books, I remembered this short story that I still hadn't read ... And I loved it ! The characters are dark, brave, broken and so endearing, the sex scenes are pfioulala and the story was perfect ! I love cruel but also tricky gods !
In short, an anthology which TOTALLY worth it !!
