A review by becasaur27
Angels of Darkness by Meljean Brook, Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews

3.0

I enjoyed the Ilona Andrews piece, though I really would have liked to have read the book as the authors wanted it to be instead of edited down as much as it apparently had to be for this anthology. I continue to not really have any interest in the Guardians series. I've read two short stories (novellas? idk how they were classified) from that universe and it's just not for me. The Nalini Singh offering I also found a bit predictable and vanilla. I believe this was the first thing I've read by Sharon Shinn. I enjoyed the story, but maybe not enough to seek out her other stuff (mostly because something about the ending seemed a little too pat).

If you are someone who feels they must read all of a book like this, idk if I'd recommend it. Of course, it's not always my favorite medium. I did feel that these stories went well together and kept the theme relatively consistent. I'm not sure if that was to the detriment of the individual stories, though. I know romance tropes are there because people enjoy seeing the journey along the way, but I thought many of these stories just didn't have all that interesting of a journey to discover.
