T...I think that's the trouble with anthologies. There are always going to be disappointments, whether it's because they're just not that strong or because one of the stories is SO GOOD that the rest pale in comparison. I did enjoy the stories that I read in this one, for the most part. The one close to the beginning with the twins and the tomb? I liked that one. Mostly I read this for Jeri Smith-Ready's 'Bridge' and that one definitely did not disappoint. So gorgeous!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-17538062976963863232012-02-16T18:04:31.953-05:002012-02-16T18:04:31.953-05:00Reviewing anthologies is pretty tough, especially ...Reviewing anthologies is pretty tough, especially because there are always some stories that stand out and some that lag behind. I did love Jackson Pierce's story but I don't really remember those two that didn't do it for you (maybe that's why...).

I love so many of the authors. It's disappointing the Stohl and Garcia's stories weren't good. I love the Caster Chronicles.
