I loved the story by Kim Harrison--now that I know how Rachel's story started, it makes me want to read The Hollow series. And the Lynsay Sands story was very funny. The other two were a little dark for me, which is the reason for only 3 stars. ( )

I got this for my Kindle strictly for the Kim Harrison novella, which is all I've read so far (and possibly all I will read, though I may get back to the rest when I have some time).

Rating the book strictly for Kim's story, "Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel," I'll give it 4****. It deals with an incident in eighteen-year-old Rachel's life, prior to her joining Inderland Security, regarding which I want to say no more to avoid SPOILER, but does include both her mother and her brother as well as a third character who will appear in the Hollows series.

I may be rating this a little low since my main xxxooo of The Hollows is Ivy, not Raech, but it's still definitely worth reading for fans of the series, even if you don't bother reading any of the other novellae in the book.

One caution, though, is that "Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel" is not a story for those new to The Hollows series. Its charm depends on knowing Raech (and also some of the other characters) from The Hollows, so definitely pick up on it as a prequel after you've read a few books of the main series. ( )

This averaged to about 3 1/2 stars. I am rating each story separately.

Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel, 4 Stars, I read the Hollows series and it was nice to see Rachel in her early days. Also this was a very nice story about family and friendship.

Run, Run Ruldolf -- 3 1/2 stars. Sweet, silly romance about a shape shifter and the most understanding boyfriend, EVER.

Six -- 4 stars, very good story about vampires and vampire hunters, set in China.

Harvest -- 2 1/2 stars. I just did not get this world. People who read the Zodiac series will probably love it. ( )

Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061239097, Mass Market Paperback)

This holiday, spend quality time with family and loved ones—living and dead . . .

There's no place like home for the horrordays—unless you'd prefer a romantic midnight walk through a ghost-infested graveyard . . . or a haunted house candlelight dinner with the sexy vampire of your dreams. The (black) magical season is here—and whether it's a solstice séance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year's with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish!

(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:06:23 -0500)

(see all 2 descriptions)

Four romance authors--Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Marjorie M. Liu, and Vicki Pettersson--explore the seductive and dangerous world of the supernatural in four sensuous tales of the holidays run amok, from Thanksgiving to New Year's.
