A review by thistlechaser
Were- by Susan Jett, Phyllis Ames, Eliora Smith
5.0
An anthology of all sorts of were- creatures, everything except wolves. There were some really out-there were-s, like were-grape vine and were-zombie. Unusual for an anthology, I enjoyed most of the stories in this one, and some of them I outright loved.
Some of my favorite ones were the were-crow story (the characters, even in human form, were so perfectly crow-like). "Best in Show" had a fun twist at the end.
Some, while they featured were-creatures, were more about other themes, like the story about "Shiftr" (Tinder/Grindr for were-creatures) was about how some people get screwed (figuratively) in the tech world.
Two of the stories were clearly set in the authors' other book series, and those felt like cheating because if you didn't read the series, you were left out in the cold.
All in all though, I really enjoyed this book.
