In this dark and gritty collection—featuring short stories from Jim Butcher, Seanan McGuire, Kevin J. Anderson, and Rob Thurman—nothing is as simple as black and white, light and dark, good and evil..
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what makes it so easy to cross the line.
In #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher’s Cold Case, Molly Carpenter—Harry Dresden’s apprentice-turned-Winter Lady—must collect a tribute from a remote Fae colony and discovers that even if you’re a good girl, sometimes you have to be bad...
New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s Sleepover finds half-succubus Elsie Harrington kidnapped by a group of desperate teenage boys. Not for anything “weird.” They just need her to rescue a little girl from the boogeyman. No biggie.
In New York Times bestselling Kevin J. Anderson’s Eye of Newt, Zombie P.I. Dan Shamble’s latest client is a panicky lizard missing an eye who thinks someone wants him dead. But the truth is that someone only wants him for a very special dinner...
And New York Times bestselling author Rob Thurman’s infernally heroic Caliban Leandros takes a trip down memory lane as he deals wih some overdue—and nightmarish—vengeance involving some quite nasty Impossible Monsters.
ALSO INCLUDES STORIES BY
Tanya Huff * Kat Richardson * Jim C. Hines * Anton Strout * Lucy A. Snyder * Kristine Kathryn Rusch * Erik Scott de Bie *

Molly needs her own voice and personality
By odd_little_duck
Like others who have and will purchase this collection, I bought the volume specifically to find out what happened to Molly. In the short story written by Jim Butcher, Molly learns what is expected of her as the Winter Queen.
I really did not like this story. Molly has no voice of her own, her wit, her thought processes are all Harry Dresden. Who is mentioned over and over and over again, ad nauseum. Don't get me wrong, I like Harry. And I liked Molly when she wasn't such a Harry knock off. Butcher fails when it comes to female protagonists, particularly when describing sexual arousal. Hey Jim, women don't think about sex the same way men do. It's not a matter of how often they think about it or how big their libido is - it's DIFFERENT for us. Butcher portrays almost every trait Molly has as a mirror image of Harry. It's so distracting that the plot fizzled and died for me before I finished page 39 in the Kindle edition.
Tanya Hufff, Seanan McGuire, and Rob Thurman have work included in this compilation. They are solid writers (as is Butcher, usually) and their stories do not disappoint. I was less familar with the other writers included; for the most part, I am pleased with my introduction to these people and will look for more of their work.
I'd really like to rate this as 3.5 stars, but that isn't possible on Amazon. Overall, a decent grouping of short stories.

Overall this is a good anthology
By Volition_accord
Overall this is a good anthology. Review by story:
1. Cold Case. 5/5
It's a good story even if it does have some continuity snarls. It helps show some of the ways Molly has changed now that she is Winter Lady.
2. Sleepover. 6/5
This story is the surprise MVP for me. I have never read anything my Seanan Mcguire but after reading Sleepover i have ordered a few of her “InCryptid” books. Now to the actual story; it's very well paced with a whole lot of world building hooks which allow the story to seem like it actually inhabits a real setting. The characters are likable and the plot relies more on the characters then on flash or fighting.
3. If Wishes Were. 3/5
The story is a little bit cliche. The main character seems somewhat overpowered to me. i will admit the story did not interest me enough to research if it takes place in a larger setting where the character would be justified to be as powerful as it is. Other than that, the mains love interest is flat, the initial antagonist seems like just an excuse to start the plot. And finally, the main antagonist while being extremely powerful (for reasons, and in a way, that makes way more sense then the main character) it is still defeated without difficulty via deus ex machina.
4. Solus. 3/5
Simple description? Men in Black meets The Dresden Files. Only problem is, it feels like you're following around the B team from either setting. It's a bit wacky mixed with “Magic A is Magic A”.
5. Peacock in Hell. 4/5
This one is a weird one to go into without any prior knowledge. It's like someone took “Bartimaeus Sequence” series of books and gave it a pack of cigarettes to make it more “edgy”. Don't get me wrong it's done well, but it seems like it's trying a bit too hard to by grown up when it's not. Also, maybe placing this story right after the wacky story in the anthology might not have been the best place for it as far as tone is concerned.
6. Eye of newt. 1/5
Nope. I got through 4 pages of cringe and decided this story is not for me.
7. What dwells within 2/5
Who doesn't like a telepathic Ferret as a main character…. Me it turns out. I am guessing this story is part of a larger series but it does a really bad example of getting a new person involved with the setting.
8. Hunter healer 4/5
This story reads like a “day in the limelight” for a background NPC. It has good execution, and when read from the point of view that it's a minor character getting some development the story is good.
9. Baggage. 5/5
This one is good, even if it is ostensibly about superheroes. Sadly it is not part of a larger series instead the author has floated the characters/setting out on a few anthologies and is planning on trying to make it a comic if there is enough interest. It's a bit modern noir mixed with a thriller.
10. Sales. Force. 4/5
This story is good, but if it was a full book it would probably outstay its welcome. The main character is a monster, not in the literal sense but rather she is a psychopathic killer with little regard to normal human characterization. That kind of amoral killer that is sometimes fun to see in limited, Controlled, settings along the lines of “yes, but she’s OUR monster”. That being said there doesn't seem to be much in the terms of control or humanization here.
11. Impossible monsters 5/5
THIS is how you do an amoral psychopathic killer right. This is a monster aimed at other monsters. It also part of a larger series “cal leandros”. Overall it does a good enough job of explaining the character and world that it's understandable to a new reader. Additionally, it has enough character and world setting to really pull a new reader in.

Kind of dark, "urban fantasy". Good stuff.
By Tsyroc
I liked all of the stories. The one that I wasn't as engrossed with as the others was Kevin J. Anderson's zombie detective. Not that it was bad, but it is based more in humor than the other stories.
As always, I love a story about Dresden or his former apprentice Molly.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a story about Vicki Nelson by Tanya Huff. It has been a long time since I read the "Blood Ties" series or even watched the TV show based on the books but it was very easy and fun getting back into her story.
As for the other stories, all of them have me interested in looking into the other short stories and, hopefully, books that the authors have written.
