Strange Brew edited by P. N. Elrod

Strange Brew is an excellent anthology and I am sorry I didn’t read it sooner. It has 9 stories: Seeing Eye by Patricia Briggs, Last Cal by Jim Butcher, Death Warmed Over by Rachel Caine, Vegas Odds by Karen Chance, Hecate’s Golden Eye by P.N. Elrod, Bacon by Charlaine Harris, Signatures of the Dead by Faith Hunter, Ginger: A Nocturne City Story by Caitlin Kittredge and last Dark Sins by Jenna Maclaine. None of the stories are truly short, but neither are any of them long enough to qualify as a novella. All of them feature witches and magic in some way. There are also no bad stories.

Vegas Odds by Karen Chance is the best. This story was action filled and excellent. There is a mystery, a sexy werewolf boyfriend and betrayal, all packed into a few dozen pages. I am not if sure if it is related her new dhampire series, but it might be and I am going to read the first one (Midnight’s Daughter) to find out.
