Were- by Patricia Bray, Joshua Palmatier
5.0
This was a good book; a lot of diverse and interesting ways of thinking about shapeshifters.
Best in Show by Seanan McGuire was good; I like her stuff and this was fun.
We Dig by Ashley McCommell was wonderful; I really enjoyed it.
Eyes Like Pearls by Susan Jett was good and nicely creepy.
Among the Grapevines, Growing by Eliora Smith was one of the most unusual were stories I have ever read, and very good.
A Party For Bailey by David B. Coe was good.
Cry Murder by April Steenburgh was another good one.
Missy the Were-Pomeranian vs. The Masters of Mediocre Doom by Gini Koch was not the kind of story I particularly like. I like superhero stories just fine, but I don't have a big taste for the silly, brainless ones. I like constructive superhero stories, so Super Powered, Astro City, that sort of thing.
Paper Wasp by Mike Barretta was nicely spooky.
Point Five by Elizabeth Kite was beautifully funny in a lovely way.
The Promise of Death by Danielle Ackley-McPhail was ok. It was more dramatic, and it doesn't suite with the story before it.
The Five Bean Solution by Jean Marie Ward was nicely funny.
Witness Report by Katharine Kerr was lovely.
Attack of the Were-Zombie Friendship with Benefits by Sarah Brand was good; but wasn't exactly to my taste.
The Whale by Anneliese Belmond was absolutely fantastic, without a doubt.
Anzu, Duba, Beast by Faith Hunter was good. I'm always a little concerned about the skinwalker books, because I'm not quite sure if it's racist or not. Skinwalker is a term used by Native Americans, and I'm pretty sure they don't think it's fun to have their terms grabbed by other people and used. And especially when people change the meaning. Dresden Files has a skinwalker, who is one of the most god-awful scary monsters to show up. So, I avoid the books by Faith Hunter. I'm pretty well invested in the Dresden Files, so I hope they're not offensive.
Shiftr by Patricia Bray was a lot of fun.
Sniff For Your Life by Phyllis Ames was good, and I enjoyed it.
