4.0

I really enjoyed some of the stories in this and I've definitely picked up a few more authors that I want to take a look at, but there were also a few stories that I really didn't enjoy but I guess that's fairly typical for an anthology. Some of them are standalone and others are part of series but I'd say you can read most of them without having read anything else by the author.

I really enjoyed the stories by Rob Thurman, Kevin Hearne, Hillary Jacques and Kelly Meding.

One thing I didn't like about this was that violence against women seemed to feature pretty strongly in quite a few of the stories, it made me really uncomfortable how many stories featured rape/murder/kidnapping.
