This looks like an amazing anthology and a wonderful introduction to some great series.

I'm most familiar with Jill Kismet - I've read all of the books in that series so far and she's seriously kick-ass. Aside from that, I've also read books featuring Kate Connor, Marla Mason, and Pete Caldecott. I enjoy the detective type books so this should be fun.

Hello Cassiel *waves and smiles*. I love rachel caine's outcast series and it would be great to read the anthologhy

I have read a couple of Dawn Madison's series and have some of the other characters on my TBR list which I need to get too.

Sadly, I don't think I'm familiar with any of those characters, though if I win, I have no doubt that I'd get more familiar with them because I'd feel compelled to track down the series in which they appear!

I have heard and read of several of these characters. Tanya Huff's series is my most familiar ones!!
Great giveaway. Looks like a fantastic read!!!

Gah! Almost all of the series featured in this anthology are either on the TBR list or in the TBR pile; in other words, I've not yet been formally introduced! Of these, the Kitty Norville book is closest to the top. ^_^

Most of these series I haven't had a chance to get to yet... so most familiar will be Kate Connor.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this anthology!

I absolutely Tony Foster (Tanya Huff) and Jill Kismet (Lilith Saintcrow) I buy their stories the day they come out. I also Love Cassiel and Danny Hendrickson. Yes, this needs to be in my TBR.

I'm actually not familiar with any of those characters, but I have been interested in reading some of those series. So, maybe if I win, it will give the little taste of those series that I need to go and start them right away.

John Taylor is the one I'm most familiar with, but that's because he's had the most published page time of the three characters up there from series I know well. I'm also pretty familiar with Cassiel & Jessi Hardin. I've read all the books in each of those series (Nightside, Weather Wardens/Outcast Season, & Kitty Norville), & love them. These 3 are some of my absolute favorite series.
Goodness, what's up with me this morning? I'm not completely positive, but I think I forgot to leave my email in the comment I just submitted. Thought "wait, is the email in there?" as it was submitting.
If it's not, the address is light_spinner@hotmail.com.
And the characters I'm most invested in seeing are John Taylor, Cassiel, & Jessi Hardin.
This anthology sounds intriguing, though I must admit to not being familiar with any of the characters listed. The authors, yes, through other novels and short stories, but not these specific characters.

We are familiar or have read all but two of these, Jezebel and Piers Knight. So, it would be interesting to see where the authors take these characters and how they fit in to their respective series.
