it was pretty good. i think my favorite story in this book was "famaliar" by Michelle Rowen. and "Fearless" by Rachel Vincent because it was about a character that will be feature in the next Soul Screamers book.

i added this book when it was only patch's story. i don't know why the file was modified to add the other short stories so just for that i'll modify my rating.

'The Assassin's Apprentice' by Michelle Zink - 3/5, only because I felt it was too short and too rushed for 3 characters and a world that deserved a better expansion.
'Errant' by Diana Peterfreund - 2/5, it's the first thing I've read by this author and I didn't feel impressed, the ages century orphaned lady disputed by two rivals that proves herself strong is too cliche, a nun who tames unicorns too odd, and overall not outstanding.
'The Spirit Jar' by Karen Mahoney - 4/5, the narrator bugged me sometimes, but she's fun and witty and the story has a good concept. A big plus for genies :D
'Lost' by Justine Musk - 3/5, cutesy story which picks up on the Hades/Persephone romance, and I wish this one could be expanded, or at least more insight into the ending.
'The Spy Who Never Grew Up' by Sarah Rees Brennan - 1/5, what a mess around Peter Pan and the great-great-granddaughter of Wendy!
'Dungeons Of Langeais' by Becca Fitzpatrick - 4/5, I had picked this book by this story alone, Hush Hush being my favorite read from last year. While this short story didn't disappoint it wasn't captivating as the hush hush books. Patch makes only a very brief appearance, and the ending is vague. We don't like Chauncey, he's evil, etc, but we already knew that.
'Behind the Red Door' by Caitlin Kittredge - 4/5, this one doesn't start strong but picks up towards the middle and it's very good.
'Hare Moon' by Carrie Ryan - 5/5, I'm very curious about the world of the Forest of Hands and Teeth, but I haven't managed to start the series yet. I understand this story is about the adolescence of an older character in the books, and what an interesting story it is. The first which truly feels romantic with undertones of despair, just how I love them.
'Familiar' by Michelle Rowen - 4/5, beautiful YA paranormal romance.
'Fearless' by Rachel Vincent - 4/5, really good story, very different from everything I've read, so it had that big plus - uniqueness - for me. I'm looking forward reading other books by her.
'Vermillion' by Daniel Marks - 3/5, it was difficult for me to enter into the story, I can only assume this is a short story based on a world depicted in another book. The story itself was cute, although quite predictable.
'The Hounds of Ulster' by Maggie Stiefvater - 4/5, fast paced, so it felt short, but the ending was a real surprise!
'Many Happy Returns' by Daniel Waters - 3/5, same as Fearless, a new world for me, and I'm on the fence about how I feel towards the returning.
'Errant' by Diana Peterfreund - 2/5, it's the first thing I've read by this author and I didn't feel impressed, the ages century orphaned lady disputed by two rivals that proves herself strong is too cliche, a nun who tames unicorns too odd, and overall not outstanding.

adventurous
lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

My favourite stories were Familiar by Michelle Rowen (4 stars), Fearless by Rachel Vincent and The Hounds of Ulster by Maggie Stiefvater (both 5 stars) - the other stories are what brought my rating down.

The assassins apprentice by Michelle Zink:
Was good i would have liked more character development and less smooching but I'm going to check out the other works by this author
Errant by Diana Peterfreund:
Was hard for me to get into which with a total of 33 pages isn't a good sign
The spirit jar by Karen Mahoney:
I didn't like this short story it left alot unexplained and i understand she has had a minimal amount of pages to tell her story in but if that's the case then don't have people or objects in your story that you cant explain
Lost by Justine Musk:
Please please please tell me there are more stories of Haiden and Sasha a whole series! a series that never ends i don't know exactly what makes me love this story but its one of my favorite in this book

*** I only read Fearless by Rachel Vincent - as part of the Soul Screamers series ***
Ugh, you know, I always already so discussed with Sabine. I disliked her through pretty much the whole series. She's selfish and horrible, sex hungry and cruel. I'm sure my heart should bleed for all she's been through.
But when it described how she fed. How she glided into the room, sat on the victim's chest. All I could picture was her doing that to Kaylee -- before Kaylee had any idea that's what Sabine was.
This short only makes me dislike her more, not less. But it was interesting to hear about a new type of....monster?... in their world.
