4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. They are all set in Parmas, a city where powerful sorcerers use spells and demons' parts to enhance technology or produce consumer goods. They live side by side with humans. We gather that sorcerers used to rule Parmas with an iron fist, but they had to restrain their powers and be more magnanimous to humans and demons alike. The Hell Cops - a law enforcement unity which apprehends loose demons or rogue sorcerers - help maintain the p ...more

Interesting premise with 3 authors creating connected characters in a series. There was definitely a different 'voice' or style to each author's writing, but I found I liked them all.

The stories each had a touch of fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, fbi-agent, and paranormal tied together to keep it fun.

This book was more enjoyable as I realized there was continuation book with Hell-Cop 2, and I had to go out and purchase to see how it continues with the same three authors. ...more

Next of kin was my favorite story, I liked the charakters and the plot, as well as the writing.
The third story about James and Moran was my least favorite, might have something to do with the story it was about and a ring of illegal demonblood drugs and demon fights. There was also some situations which were just too unrealistics like the one whith Tony going to a mask as James, it was convenient for the story but totally unbelievable.

A better than average anthology of 3 short stories. Three authors have each contributed a separate yet interconnected story based in a futuristic/paranormal world. If you enjoy M/M romance with a paranormal/urban fantasy twist, yet haven't the time for a full novel, then this may just be exactly what you need. Each story is complete in itself, yet there is commonality of supporting characters as well as the same setting. I'm not usually a fan of novellas/shorts stories, yet I will be reading Hel ...more

4.5
Three authors for this anthology sharing a common universe, three wonderful stories which I have read several time since it came out. Each story has to do with law enforcement, but there is always romance ;-). Warmly recommended.
