This is a book of four short stories by four different authors.
First, Tall, Dark, and not so Faery by MaryJanice Davidson. In this story, a faery comes across a house full of supernatural beings. Her job is to count them, but this is no easy feat. She meets the man of her dreams. A separate love story unveils itself as well.
I really enjoyed this one. MJ Davidson was the reason I bought the book, and thankfully, she did not let me down. You get to know some pretty unique characters, but Davidson doesn’t go into too much detail. Just gets your appetite wet for some more!
Second, Pixie Lust by Lois Greiman. In this short story, a faery meets a developer and they fall deeply in lust. That’s basically the story. Yet for some strange reason Greiman decided to spend over 100 pages discussing the lust between the two characters, and only 10 pages on the plot. Lust at first sight. I get it. BORING.
Third, Dust Me, Baby, One More Time by Michele Hauf. A tooth faery becomes jobless as the mothers in her town decide she doesn’t exist. Around the same time she meets a sandman and together they devise a plan to save the tooth faery and be together as well. This one is slow going, but eventually picks up. It’s alright.
Last, A Little Bit Faery by Leandra Logan. A half-breed Luna faery heads to the mortal realm to discover herself, her dad, and a hunky fireman. This story has some substance to it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a back story behind the fireman and the faery as well. It’s not just a love story, it’s got some exciting criminal activity as well. It was a great way to end the book.
Overall, I found this novel just a bit bland. Two good stories, and one mediocre one. It was a good change of pace for me though.
