Overall enjoyed the collection a lot.
The first two entries read more like vignettes than full stories, but the rest makes up for it.
Blame it on the Moon, the first entry, which gives us Edward's first meeting with Mengele's werewolves, while a fun entry which set in WWII Germany plays between Urban Fantasy and Euro Trash charm, fell unfortunate short with an end's that's too rushed.
Wish it was one of the longer stories.
Same with the second story, which gives us a Jessie & Will side-adventure set before the events in Hunter's Moon (Nightcreature #2).
However, the three longer stories, plus the Jessie & Will marriage interlude, included are all good fun to read, with satisfying endings and well written sex scenes to boot.
