Blood Lite III: Aftertaste by Kevin J. Anderson
5.0
I'm not one for short stories. Usually I buy anthologies to read one or two stories in them. Usually its one of my favorite authors with their favorite series (in this case Jim Butcher and his Dresden files series) and I will put the rest of the stories away for a rainy day.
When Jim Butcher joked on April Fools Day about a bigfoot series, I got excited even though I knew it was a April Fools Day joke. Luckily for his avid readers it is going to be a short story series, with the first being released in Blood Lite III: Aftertaste.
I Was a Teenager Big Foot sees our favorite wizard Harry helping out the Forest People (ie. Big Foot) in helping one of their offspring with some black magic. This was a fun first story, and for those that have never read any Dresden Files books it is a good place to start as any. It doesn't rely on reading any of the other books, and is a fun, quick story. There is supernatural action and lots of Harry's humor that we all love. The scene where Harry tries (rather unsuccessfully) to pick up a nurse is my favorite!
While I haven't read the other stories in this anthology, I will put them away for a rainy day as its full of authors that I hope one day to try.
I highly recommend Blood Lite III for fans of urban fantasy, definitely a must read.
