I picked this to read basically for the story by MaryJanice Davidson. Turns out, for me, hers was by far the weakest of the four stories here. "Tall Dark and Not So Fairy" seemed like she wrote it in her sleep..or halfway drunk. My favorite story was "Dust Me, Baby, One More Time" by Michele Hauf about the Tooth Fairy and the Sand Man. I loved it. Funny and cheeky romance. "Pixie Lust" by Lois Greiman was confusing. Her fairy began as intelligent and just turned into a sexbot basically for the land developer who finds her. Last was "A Little Bit Faery" by Leandra Logan. Half fairy goes to find love in the mortal world and her mortal father. A little bit of a mystery wound into the fantasy. Not completely satisfying but as a short story I liked it. Lots of the reviews I read raved about the first author in this anthology. If this was an example of what all her writing is like, I am not sure what they found so wonderful. Rather a disjointed style, which I guess one could learn to love, but the ending of the story? Came out of nowhere and seemed to apply to nothing that had previously occurred in the story. Of the four stories, I like the last one best but not in a hurry to read about any more faeries. A shame, really....
What do You think about Faeries Gone Wild (2009)?
Pretty good story collection. I tend to like mine "hotter," but it was pretty good. ;)

I did not care for the first two stories but I liked the last two!
