Inked is a collection of four novellas. They're all about magic in one form or another, but tattoos are important to each.
Wilks I'm familiar with. In fact, I've been waiting for some time for Blood Lines to come out on the kindle. I've read the first two books in that series on my kindle and would like to continue. Her Human Nature is a good short story to go with the the World of the Lupi series.
Chance I've only read in anthologies so far. I like this story, Skin Deep, about war mages and werewolves and all things magical. It's got a good story line. I'll add Chance to my list of authors to watch.
Galenorn's Silver Etched contribution is little more than soft core porn wrapped in a magical otherworld setting. Other than all the sex it's suspiciously like the early Rachel Morgan stories by Kim Harrison. Downtrodden harassed female police person overcomes the odds and catches the bad guy. Harrison did it very well. Galenorn not so much. The debauchery is definitely not my cup of tea.
The best of the bunch is Liu's Armor of Roses. Maxine Kiss is back and traveling in time. As improbable as Liu's universe is, the characters make it fun to read about. I read to escape reality and Liu's books make an excellent catalyst for the imagination.
All in all, highly recommended.
