Rating: - Worth a look, but only if you buy it discounted...
I must admit that I only bought this book for the Patrica Briggs story, which was excellant and I'm looking forward to the full novel she'll be releasing later on this year with the characters.

However, I didn't like the other stories in it at all (I only got around to the thrid story, but I was kinda bored with the book at that point, so I didn't even bother reading Sunny's...from some of the reveiws here, I'm probably glad that I didn't...) The reason why I'm disapointed in the rest ... Read More

Rating: - A mixed bag
As others have mentioned it's hard to write an overall review for an anthology.

Patricia Briggs - as usual, especially in her werewolf series, a really good read. The characters were nicely developed with the emphasis on their feelings as opposed to the "thriller" angle. I also liked the fact that the supposed bad guy in the end had motivation that you could identify with even if his methods were despicable.

Eileen Wilks - overall a good story. It lost it's way a bit in the ... Read More

Rating: - Worth Buying for the Patricia Briggs and Karen Chance stories...
The problem I find with anthologies is you tend to buy them for one (or maybe two) stories. Therefore I shall admit my bias straight off and say I bought On the Prowl for the Patricia Briggs story.

Alpha and Omega by Patricia Briggs.
Set in the Mercy Thompson universe (Moon Called, Blood Bound). Alpha and Omega follows Charles (the son of werewolf king Bran) when he comes to Chicago to deal with unrest in the Chicago pack. Although this story takes place during Moon Called it's not ... Read More

Rating: - On the Prowl - a breakdown
There are four 'romance' stories written by four authors. The 1st is written by Patricia Briggs and when she gets it right she's fabulous - and this is a great example of this. Her story is set in the same world as Moon Called/Blood Bound and deals with a Chicargo Werewolf Pack - Anna who is an abused member gets the courage to inform the Morrok (head werewolf)in Montana of a murder within the pack. He sends an 'investigator' his son Charles and arranges for Anna to liase with him. The story then develops ... Read More

Rating: - A mixed bag - but two out four makes it worth reading
Got to take the rough with the smooth as they say and that's certainly true of anthologies. I guess most people will be picking this book up because it has a story by an author they like. Personally, I'm a Patricia Briggs and Karen Chance fan but I'd never read anything by Eileen Wilks or Sunny.

It's very difficult to give the book an overall rating - three stars makes a reasonable compromise - so I've rated each short story on its own.
