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.

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!

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. ^_^

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.

Anonymous said...

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.
