This is a shared world anthology with four separate but related stories about an AU where members of other realms can cross through portals to our own world and become residents, although few humans can see through their glamour to the goblin, demon, fae, vampire, etc. that they meet everyday on the street. Policing the issues caused by these non-human residents falls to the Nato Irregular Affairs Division, and all of the stories in this anthology focus on the officers of that agency, otherwise...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This anthology is remarkable first of all for the awesome world building, but also for the impressive characters and the great quality of writing. Even if there are the hands of four authors, there is no prominent voice, and each one of them put their craft at the service of the anthology. In a contemporary setting, NIAD - the Nato Irregular Affairs Division - handle what happens in the earthly realms when they involve extrahuman beings and activity.

The book is made up of four stories all based around the same fantasy setting. The real world as we know it is only one of many realms. Each realm has its own peoples and some of them live among us, disguised by glamour or changed in the womb to look human. The Irregulars are a branch of NATO whose job is police these other-realm people. Each story follows at least one Irregular officer as they are drawn into various mystery cases and an unexpected romance.

Each story is individual but also retains a similarity in terms of overall world-building, despite being set in different locations. I honestly can't pick out a favourite story because I liked all of them for different reasons. Some were more gruesome than others, for example the first story by Nicole Kimberling deals with cannibalism and ought not to be read whilst eating - it made me feel a little green about the gills and I don't usually mind horror stories. Some kept the setting fairly low key, such as Josh Lanyon's story which focused more on character detail and tense action scenes, than vivid and fantastical other realms, whereas Astrid Amara and Ginn Hale's stories contained scenes set outside the 'real' world or described in detail other realms as well as the character detail. All the stories contained characters who were fresh and interesting, unique in their personalities. I particularly liked the goblin theme than ran through many of the stories. In fact, much of my pleasure in reading this book came from all the tiny, incidental details we learn, sometimes not really connected to the main characters, which built up a clear and coherent picture of the world and the Irregulars. This is fantasy writing at its best.

However, these stories are more than just fantasy as a they have a strong romantic core. Each story contains a different type of romantic pairing but some of the characters crop up in other stories, either as secondary characters or mentioned in passing. Actually, if I have a complaint it's that I wished there were footnotes in the book because I found myself having to scan back through the stories to work out where a character had been referenced earlier. That's only a minor niggle though because the romantic elements were very satisfying.

This publisher is one of my favourites and once again Blind Eye Books haven't disappointed. I highly recommend this book to those who love fantasy with a strong dose of romance.(less)

Anthologies can be a mixed bag and I mostly don't go for them, especially since it can be hard to keep momentum up through the whole book.

Project concepts like the Irregulars though is a great way to do it. As other reviewers have discussed, the anthology is based in the same setting--our world, but skewed, with the existence of other realms and supernatural beings, and an international police organization that helps maintain order and minimize "incidents" between the humans and other beings.

I picked this up because of Josh Lanyon. He's my favorite writer and before I started reading I was only truly interested in his story from this anthology. I'm so very glad I decided to read the other stories as well because this whole universe sucked me in and when I reached the very last page I was sad to see it end. Not to mention that as the anthology progressed the stories just kept getting better and better.

Is "shared-world anthology" a thing? I'd never heard the term. Four stories by four authors in four different cities, all using the same parameters: there is an organization called NIAD (the NATO Irregular Affairs Division) that investigates "extrahuman" crime. Each story has some kind of mystery to be solved, some kind of human/non-human interaction (you got your fey, your demons, your vampires, etc.) and a gay love story. It sounds like much too much, but to my shock, every story worked. My fa...more

Unlike a normal anthology, which will hopefully have a thread that ties the stories together but doesn't always, this anthology features stories that all take place in the same, shared world. It's a fantasy world, but my favorite kind--the type that takes place right under the noses of normal humans without them noticing. That we were dealing with goblins, fairies, vamps, trolls, and all sorts of other creatures was central and important, but I never felt that it overwhelmed or stole the show. All four stories are still very character driven and focus on the relationships of the protagonists. All four stories also feature very different types of characters and stories, so it wasn't at all plodding or repetitive. In each story, I learned something about the world, and there was a very satisfying character tie from story #1 (Kimberling's) to the final (Hale's).

I would say that you don't need to read the stories in order, but I did and after doing so, I would recommend that. The final of the four rewards us by visiting, if briefly in some cases, the characters we met in the first three stories. They all also build upon knowledge you've gained in earlier stories. You probably wouldn't be lost if you read them out of order or chose just to read Josh's or Ginn's, but it would be a more rewarding experience to read all four in the order they're presented. Also, unlike with some anthologies, in which there's often at least one story that leaves me bored or that I get partway through and abandon, that didn't happen here. I loved all four. I did enjoy some characters more than others (Keith and Rake, for two), but overall, I really enjoyed all of it and happily would read another four or eight or twelve stories from this world and these authors.(less)

The suspense and the momentum in these individual tales should be kept for the reader, and I refuse to spoil the plots. The only tidbits I will reveal about the four stories...

1) Nicole Kimberling has made me shudder at the words 'banquet' and 'feast'. Goblins can be quite gorgeous omg.
2) Oh fae...I've never stopped loving you. Makes me want to reread the Fever Series again.
3) I love Astrid Amara. - I needed that story to go on for a hundred more pages. I love my time warps, glyphs, and blood sacrifices. Yum.
4) Ginn Hale. I am speechless...magics and spells are never the same in the different worlds she creates, and I feel so, so privileged to read her writing.

Nicole Kimberling draws you straight into the world while never overwhelming you with the nuances of the realms and ...species. For a creation so intricate, I was expecting to tread through some info-dumping - and I was fully prepared to excuse all of that because I know these authors would deliver. Absolutely unfounded fears on my part - there was not even a drop of info-dumping to be had in the course of 4 stories. Each built a bit more into the world until by the time you reach Ginn Hale's story, you kind of expect to see some hidden goblins, faeries, or what-have-you-nots around you. You believe there is possibly a NIAD lurking in your city, and yes, I'm still very sane.

Masterful storytelling doesn't even begin to describe the writing and the prose. Is it really that much to expect in all m/m stories? If any publishers need examples of what to publish, look no further - this is IT. If I can, I'd force every publisher to read the anthology and tell them this is what you need to aspire to.

I know this was a long wait, but good quality takes time. And I, as a reader, am willing to wait another year if I get to see another work of this quality. I had bought the ebook version, but now, I'm going to get the hardcopy as well. This is definitely worth keeping.

I really hope the writers will consider revisiting the world - I would love to catch up with old characters and perhaps meet new ones in this vast world.

Highly, highly recommended if you enjoy fantastically written urban fantasy in the m/m world. Seriously, if you like m/m at all, this book should not be missed.(less)

Betcha never saw that one coming. ;-) Nice characters and good world building for a short, with an interesting plot. And at times almost tongue in cheek with everyone's efforts to be PC about the "extra"-human creatures involved.

2. Green Glass Beads by Josh Lanyon: I always like Lanyon's writing and his character work, and this one also has nice poignancy from the MC who has no living family and tries to recapture the sense of belonging by collecting artifacts from his ancestor's history. Also, there's some nice work throughout the story with scattered uses of moths, butterflies, and the color green (I won't spoiler it here, just keep an eye out for them). I really get a sense of there being more to be discovered beneath the surface of this one.

3. No Life But This by Astrid Amara: This one is longer, and probably my favorite of the four. I love the confusion and just complete lost-ness of the MC, as well as his growth over the course of the story. And even though he's culture-shocked and you would expect him to be the princess who needs saving, he's actually also the badass of the two MCs. I quibble with the way the calendars were handled -- I didn't think that made much sense at all, and I wanted more explanation of them -- but that didn't ruin my enjoyment of the story.

4. Things Unseen and Deadly by Ginn Hale: The longest story in the book. I liked the characters in Amara's tale better, but this one is also very good. I very much appreciate that the previous stories and characters are referenced, and the maintenance of universal consistency throughout the book. I *thought* I was going to get to jump on a major inconsistency early in this story, but dang if Hale didn't justify that one out from under me. Party pooper.

Overall, I'm very impressed by the consistent quality throughout. I'm generally not much of an anthology admirer, but this one and
Hell Cop (by mostly the same authors) give me hope for them -- especially those of the "shared universe" type. The universe sharing gives time for the world (and, to a lesser extent, the characters) to really be rounded out and sink in over the course of several stories, and I like that effect very much. Also keep in mind that none of these stories is short; in fact, every one of them is as long or longer than many of the "books" one sees on the romance ebook market these days, and that length helps as well.

An easy 4 stars for me.(less)

While I did enjoy IRREGULARS, I've never fallen in love with stories from a shared-world anthology, possibly because having different authors introduce a level of inconsistency in characterisation and worldbuilding, no matter how slight, which in turn stops me from fully connecting with the stories, and I have to say I felt the same about this book.

It should be mentioned that the individual stories are pretty much plot/action driven with a bit of romance woven in, perhaps apart from Ginn Hale's contribution where the developing romantic relationship between the protagonists features more prominently.
