Wolfsbane and Mistletoe

 

3.5 stars

This was a fun Christmas collection. Yes, it has some of the same seasonal schmaltz, but with a bit of blood and guts to counteract the saccharine. There are the expected names: Charlaine Harris and Patricia Briggs. I had previously encountered Briggs' story, but enjoyed reading it again. I was pleasantly surprised to find Donna Andrews represented. I should have realized that she could write more than the cozy mystery series that she's best known for.

All of the entries were fun and interesting in some way. Unlike so many of these collections, there were no duds. If you are looking for something with a Christmas theme plus werewolves, look no further.
