Of Claws and Fangs by Faith Hunter

4.0

Of Claws and Fangs has a little something for pretty much every urban fantasy fan. Eighteen short stories of various Faith Hunter characters and many of them answer questions posed by fans of her series. Now is when I admit that this collection was my introduction to this author. I know, I know, I'm not sure how I've missed her, but now that I've met a few of her characters, I'll have to do some catching up. As a newbie to Hunter's work, I wasn't sure how reading this collection would go, especially with so many beloved characters starring in these stories, and what I found was a bit of a combination. What I mean by that is I got a good representation of the author's writing style, which I liked, and I now have an idea of her characters and the worlds they inhabit. I liked every story, some more than others, but they're all good. That said, I do have some questions that I feel like a regular reader of Faith Hunter's books wouldn't have. Even with that in mind, I'd still recommend this book. The stories are fast-paced and entertaining, and they left me wanting more of these intriguing characters. And I can't forget to mention that cover. It's fabulous! It caught my eye, so even before I knew anything about what was inside, I wanted to know more.
