"Never After", anthology (Adult-Fantasy)
I'm enjoying many of the short stories in the "Never After" anthology by Laurell K Hamilton, Yasmine Galenorn, Marjorie M Liu and Sharon Shinn. I love the fairy tales with a twist idea, where the heroine never ends up with the guy with whom she would have traditionally fallen head over heals in love. In particular, I enjoyed Hamilton's fairytale as it reminded me of her earlier Anita Blake novels where the plot revolved around a murder mystery, as opposed to being all about relationships and sex. Recommended for anyone looking to explore some new authors, although not an accurate telling of their current books. Still, if you enjoy one of the authors, there's a chance you may find another to try out. I highly recommend local libraries for forays into authors that you've never read before. Might as well find out if you enjoy their longer works before you invest money into them!
