chez_jaeI didn't quite make it to 25 books in 2013, but instead of scaling back my goal for 2014, I am ramping it up. My goal is to read 30!
Off to a good start...
On Thursday, I finished reading Holidays Are Hell, which is an anthology of four short, holiday stories by renowned paranormal authors.
The first story by Kim Harrison featured her well-known character Rachel Morgan. It was an interesting take on Rachel's beginnings.
The second story, by Lynsay Sands, was about a woman who was turned into a shape-shifter by a diabolical scientist who wanted to study her. It was a different take on shape-shifters, in that Jill could assume any form, including taking on the appearance of other people as well as changing into an animal. Cute love story!
The third story was by Marjorie M Liu and told of government assassin Six going up against supernatural creatures with the help of a sexy necromancer.
The final story, written by Vicki Pettersson, may have been the most gripping, but there was no HEA in it. Boo.
All in all, a good, solid collection of stories. I'll give it four stars.
★★★★
