This was a pretty uneven anthology for me. There were some stories I loved, some that were pretty good, and some that I didn't like very much.

"If I Had a Hammer" Charlaine Harris - a story from the Sookieverse. It was just okay. It had nothing to do with the plot of the novels, so you don't have to worry about missing important information if you don't read it (unlike some of her other short stories). ★★

The other stories were okay but they won't stick with me. ...more
