Review: Decent stories, but...
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 2, 2012
This was really just one new short story, one older short story, and a longish preview for Thirteen--perhaps worth the asking price if you're undecided on whether or not you want to read Thirteen or if you haven't yet read "Stalked" (the story from the anthology My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon), but if all that is new to you is Eve's story...then I'd be on the fence."Stalked" isn't a bad story, but I'd read it before (found a used copy of the anthology online two years ago) and it's not the best Clay-narrated story out there. Men of the Otherworld and Tales of the Otherworld have much better examples. "Off-Duty Angel" was entertaining, but really short--Eve's one of my favorite characters, so I really would have liked a longer story here. Reading Thirteen was a given for me, so the preview and six chapters given here were a nice sample--and way longer than a bookstore digital preview--but since I already was going to buy and read the book, not terribly helpful for me. Still, a Kelley Armstrong story is a Kelly Armstrong story, and time reading her works is never wasted!
