Dark And Stormy Knights (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I purchased "Dark and Stormy Knights" for the Ilona Andrews story "A Questionable Client" about Kate Daniels' first meeting with Saiman. This was a good read, and helped to explain Kate and Saiman's rather complicated relationship. Other interesting stories included "The Beacon" by Shannon K Butcher, a story about a man who hunts down and kills "beacons", innocents who bring monsters into the world by virtue of acting as a beacon to the monsters. This was a very well written story, asking whether it is better to kill one innocent and save the lives of many. I also greatly enjoyed "Even a Rabbit will Bite" by Rachel Caine. This is about a a long-standing battle between an aged dragon-slayer and the last known dragon in the world. "Dark Lady" by P.N. Elrod is a fun story about a vampire owner of a haunted nightclub who helps a mobster's girlfriend. Some twists kept it interesting and fresh. Lilith Saintcrow's "Rookwood & Mrs. King," about an ex-cop turned vampire who takes on a case involving a request from a beautiful woman to kill her dead husband, is excellent. I hope that Ms. Saintcrow writes more about Rookwood - he is a fascinating character and I'd love to hear more about his back story. Finally, the last story in the book, Carrie Vaughn's "Gods Creatures" is a great, fast moving tale of a werewolf hunter and his prey. Good, good story. All in all, an excellent compilation of stories by some very good authors, all of whom have been put on my Would-like-to-Read to investigate further.
