About the Book: Lots of strange things, creatures, monsters, roam this world. From cursed to afflicted, from blessed to gifted. Genevieve, with her long, enduring vampire life, gets to watch it all, passing by, with the most unusual characters occasionally entering her space. After all, if gruesome murders by a trained to kill bird keeps happening all through a city, does it even really happen if she’s not there to witness it?…
My Opinion: Bandits whose heist went awry, some kind of Wild Hunt with whom people, closing their doors for the night, merely live, ignoring the war noises coming from the outside, and so on. Each tale was pretty good, but kept getting gradually worse. Slowly starting to lack in atmosphere, more solid scene building, or provide ideas of interest. The last one ending up the worst, and once again I wonder if Genevieve, being author’s favorite, is simply thus so very underdeveloped that she ends up ruining good tales with the Mary Sue Gaze.
