Sadly, I was only able to read the Jeaniene Frost story which is the reason I bought Unbound. The rest of the book was not for me.
1. Key Line Drifter by Kim Harrison
Tried to get into this. It was about fairies and after 10 pages, I gave up. Did not interest me at all. Unwilling to finish.

I only read Reckoning by Jeaniene Frost, which is a prequel to the Night Huntress series, featuring my favorite sexy vampire Bones. It was cool to get his POV for a change!

I only read Reckoning by Jeaniene Frost and I really liked it. Ahh Bones. He is my favorite part of the Night Huntress series. His English (Spike) accent seems a little subdued here which was a wee bit disappointing but nitpicking aside I really liked this short story.

Kim Harrison's "Ley Line Drifter" - 3 Stars: Main character is Jenks! Love that. He takes on his own client here with the help of his family, Bis and Ivy. Jenks is such a warrior in this one. Always the family man and a true friend. Pretty good story.

This anthology includes 5 new stories by popular paranormal authors. In all cases (except for Marr's story) the stories are set in preexisting worlds created by the authors. My favorite of the bunch were "Ley Line Drifter" which gives you a closer look at Jenks' family and "Rekoning" which introduced me to Jeaniene Frost's writing. This book made me want to learn more both about Frost and Drake and read some of their series. "Dark Matters" by Petttersson is an impor

In "Ley Line Drifter" by Kim Harrison Jenks is approached by another pixy for a job all his own. In a park there is a pixy family that is being attacked by a statue, it's killing the children in the night. Jenks knows that something is trapped in the statue and has to think of a way to get it out, but is getting it out really the right thing to do?

"Ley Line Drifter" by Kim Harrison-
I was really happy that it followed Jenks (with Bis the gargoyle as his sidekick). I've only read the first book so far in that series, but he'd already grown to be my favorite one there. It was a good quick story. I don't know what else has been introduced in the series, but you can read it and not wonder what you've missed.

(Story takes place after White Witch, Black Curse)
If you're a fan of the Hollows series, you'll definitely want to read this short story. It feels like it's set the groundwork for these characters to re-appear in the main series (like how Pierce was first introduced in a SS). You don't have to have read any of the books in the series to understand what's going on, but for full enjoyment, I recommend reading the other books in the series first. There More...

I picked up this book specifically for the story about Jenks that Kim Harrison had in it. Needless to say, I loved it. You get a more personal look into the life of both pixies and gargoyles, and Jenks teams up with the newest addition to the Hollows family to dispatch a rather upset ghost.
Jeanine Frost's story was a little different than I expected. I was going into it expecting an excerpt of both Cat and Bones, but Cat does not appear within the story. Rather this tale takes place in More...

4/5 Ley Line Drifter: Not really sure how I feel about this short story... it took a lot to actually get into the story. I like that its not about Rachel, but gives a little more body to Jenk's character as well as Bis, but I'm not sure I care for the open ending... especially knowing that there won't be a sequel.

I only read the short story Reckoning by Frost. This was a short prequel to the Night Huntress series, but involving only Bones. And it's in his point of view!!!!! Suffice it to say that I loved it. Locale: New Orleans, mostly during Mardi Gras. Players: some very famous figures from New Orleans history that I won't spoil (much) but they involve a voodoo queen and a famous husband and wife who were known for torturing their victims with medical experimentation. The book opens on what seems

I only read the first two stories.
Line Drifter: Jenks is probably my favorite character in The Hollows Series so reading a whole story centered around him and the rest of the pixies was just great. Finally I got some written confirmation about the possible effects of the make-a-pixy-humanlike-size curse on Jenk's life span. I know the series is supposed to be dark and characters are supposed to die. I'm fine with it. As much as I like Matalina, her stubbornness will probably lead to More...

I find anthologies rather hit or miss, but this one was a hit for me.
1. Key Line Drifter by Kim Harrison
This story was from the Rachel Morgan/Hollows world, and features Jenks. I loved the story, and how it showed his love and devotion to his family. I also suspect that characters mentioned here will show up in Rachel's books soon.

This was a pretty good anthology of short stories that take place in the same world as these authors' urban fantasy series. I was familiar with half the authors. As far as I can tell, there's no unifying theme tying the stories together but that's okay.
Kim Harrison's story was focused on Jenks. A fellow pixie comes to him for help because a statue is causing one of his children to sleepwalk/fly and attack the statue so hard she's causing herself pain. It's also caused one of his More...

I picked up this collection of short stories because I love Kim Harrison's stuff, but I enjoyed all of them.
'Ley Line Drifter' by Kim Harrison - Jenk's is hired to investigate a paranormal attack on a pixy family. - A great Jenk's character building / adventure story (Jenk's is awesome :) ). I thought the reasoning behind his actions was shaky at times. The door was left wide open for this plot line to be continued in future Hollows book.

I must start off by saying that the main reason I was interested in this book was the short story by Frost, featuring....(sigh) Bones. The other reason is that I like books like these as I can read stories by author's I enjoy, and get to know new authors and series. Basically, Unbound is five short stories of paranormal romance and fantasy by 5 different authors. As I liked some of the stories, and didn't like others, I thought I would write a brief review about each story.

I picked this up because I read the series written by all the authors in it except for one (Marr). It was a fairly entertaining little read. I think my favorite was the short by Jocelynn Drake. That held my interest the most. Although the Bones short wasn't far behind. This was the first time I had read an anthology, and while it was pretty good, I think I would have preferred reading any of their full length novels. And I don't know how many would have picked up new fans if they weren't a

Man I’ve been somewhat delinquent in writing my reviews... I waited more than a week before giving this book its proper review, which probably wasn’t a great idea since I have moved on to other books since so I think I might lost some of my immediate thoughts. My review below may contain spoilers, so proceed with caution.

A book with stories filled with action, supernatural and darkness, no fluff.
Kim Harrison gives us a shortstory with Jenks on an indipendent assignment with Bis.
Jeaniene Frost story is Bones before he met Cat in New Orleans with Marie Laveau and encountering Ralmiel =)
My favorite Dark Matters by Vicki Pettersson gives us the story of Jaden Jacks, Hunter as we know from the Signs of Zodiac. How he met Solange, married her and how Warren decided to erase the groups memories of JJ. More...

This rating is only based on the first 3 stories in the book. The first story, by Kim Harrison, features Jenks going solo and saving the day. It was delightful. The Jeaniene Frost story gives us a P.C. (pre-Cat) Bones story and I loved it. The Vicki Pettersson story tells the tale of Jaden Jax and how he became Hunter and the female Shadow that led to his downfall. I imagine that anyone unfamiliar with Vicki Pettersson's Sign of the Zodiac series would find this story more than a bit confu
