The first book in this series The White Magic Five and Dime took me by surprise: it was billed as a cozy - and it was - but had a very edgy (for cozies) premise and backstory. The MC has a shady past, being raised by a thoroughly corrupted mother and mom's boyfriend, growing up while being dragged ...
Anthology The average star rating is 3.42 stars out of 5. So a little better than average. Some good short stories and some stinkers. So about usual for an anthology.1.

I'd been looking for this one for several months for the Illona Andrews contribution. Fortunately I guess, I didn't find it in my usual haunts - book stores, new and used. I did find it at the library. Fortunately. Because books like this are what give anthologies a bad name. None of the tales are...
