My Review:
I admit, I am always drawn to getting anthologies because I love the idea of being able to read short little experts from loved authors and series but, admittedly, they aren't always that great and can be hard to rate since there are so many stories in one book.

Thankfully I didn't have a problem with this one at all.

Not only was this a great set of anthologies but they (mostly) were all from the same series, a series I already love and have fun reading.

 And yes, holy moly this was a long book, but oh, was it worth it to read.

To be able to get small glimpses into old character and beloved character (Jenks!!) all while eagerly awaiting the next book in the series is always a treat.

And even though these weren't all new stories (a lot of them have been featured somewhere else over the course of the series) it was still really nice to have them all in one place to read and reread. 

I really enjoy this series and if you are a fan of the series, this really is a most get book. 

You won't be disappointed with the stories or the characters or even the writing. It will just remind you all the reason you already love Kim Harrison and the world that she has created in the Hollows.
