Dark and Stormy Knights edited by P.N. Elrod with giveaway

I love urban fantasy and when I saw all the authors that collaborated on this anthology, I thought I had died and gone to heaven lol

A Questionable Client by Ilona Andrews is a short story in the Kate Daniels series.  Kate gets to go on a blug gig - a bodyguard job.  She hates bodyguard jobs, but needs the money.  When she meets the client, she questions her sanity.

Fans of the Dresden Files (raises hand) will enjoy the short story by Jim Butcher - Even Hand.  No, it's not about Harry Dresden, but about John Marcone, the crime boss that is always after Harry.  Here, Marcone is out to protect children at any cost, even if it costs his business money.

Carrie Vaughn writes a short story about a werewolf hunter in God's Creatures.  Cormac is hunting it, and the closest building is a Cathlic school and church.  He is determined to kill it before it kills again.

There are other stories by Shannon K. Butcher, Rachel Caine, P.N. Elrod, Deidre Knight, Vicki Pettersson, and Lilith Saintcrow.  I found the collection to be enjoyable and liked revisiting a few secondary characters from favorite series.   

I have an ARC for one Minding Spot reader.  USA Only.  Winner announced August 22nd.

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED.

  1. The only author's books I've read here is Vaughn but I usually love their short stories in anthologies. Thanks for the giveaway!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
