GIVEAWAY & REVIEW: Those Who Fight Monsters edited by Justin Gustainis

March 11, 2011 By Mary

Description

Got Vampires? Ghosts? Monsters? We Can help!
Those Who Fight Monsters: Tales of Occult Detectives, is your one-stop-shop for Urban Fantasy’s finest anthology of the supernatural. 14 sleuths are gathered together for the first time in all-original tales of unusual cases which require services that go far beyond mere deduction!

Those Who Fight Monsters: Tales of Occult Detectives brings together popular characters from many Urban Fantasy paranormal investigative series, for your enjoyment.

Meet the Detectives:

Danny Hendrickson – from Laura Anne Gilman’s Cosa Nostradamus series.
Kate Connor – from Julie Kenner’s Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series.
John Taylor – from Simon R. Green’s Nightside series.
Jill Kismet – from Lilith Saintcrow’s Jill Kismet series.
Jessi Hardin – from Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty Norville series.
Quincey Morris – from Justin Gustainis’ Morris/Chastain Investigations series.
Marla Mason – from T. A. Pratt’s Marla Mason series.
Tony Foster – from Tanya Huff’s Smoke and Shadows series.
Dawn Madison – from Chris Marie Green’s Vampire Babylon series.
Pete Caldecott – from Caitlin Kittredge’s Black London series.
Tony Giodone – from C. T. Adams and Cathy Clamp’s Tales of the Sazi series.
Jezebel – from Jackie Kessler’s Hell on Earth series.
Piers Knight – from C. J. Henderson’s Brooklyn Knight series.
Cassiel – from Rachel Caine’s Outcast Season series.

Demons may lurk, werewolves may prowl, vampires may ride the wind. These are things that go bump in the night, but we are the ones who bump back!

MY THOUGHTS

LOVED IT

This is the perfect anthology to carry with you when you need to read something quick and easily digestible.  I loved carrying books like this around with me since I can read one story at a time while I am waiting.  The biggest problems with these stories is that I get so wrapped up in them, I don’t hear my name called since I tend to block things out when I read and these stories will keep your attention.

My favorites were Kate Conner from Julie Kenner’s Demon hunting Soccer mom series.  This one has a bit of a twist since you get Allie’s (Kate’s daughter) point of view as well, Jessi Harden from Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty series and Cassiel from Rachel Caine.  There is a good mix of other characters and not all of them are the main sleuths.  There are great stories from Tanya Huff, Chris Marie Green and Jackie Kessler.  And don’t miss the one from the editor with the mostest:  Justin Gustainis with a feature of Quincey Morris.  That is a new one to me and I will have to check out his books in more detail.
