Night World 10.1: Thicker Than Water
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Set somewhere before or during Strange Fate, which sadly has not yet been released. The story bring Rashel from The Chosen together with Raksha from Witchlight for a rather remarkable discovery - the human vampire hunter and the werepanther are twins. Raksha and her soulmate were the main attraction in the book leading up to Strange Fate, which makes this fit rather snugly with what little is currently known of all the characters while still wondering what happens during the coming Apocalypse. Would be nice if we could finally get the full book and see more of this development.

Night World 7.1: Jez and Morgead's Night Out
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is technically a prequel to book seven, Huntress. As each book in the series is based on different characters though, it doesn't really fit as a "6.5" to put it between Hannah and Jez's stories. Here Jez appears to believe she is the same as the other vampires in her gang, just with maybe a little more of a conscious to go with it. She and Morgead still toss leadership back and forth, those this time said toss is the result of an outright challenge that nearly kills them both. Not the best way to end up with your oldest friend. They both also reek of a lot of denial in this little snippet. At least Jez admits to herself that she's "too young" to admit certain things yet, otherwise it might be tempting to smack her for some of the stupid things she thinks and does. These two definitely have a more dynamic and complex relationship.

Night World 2.5: Those Who Favor Fire
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
On the one hand, this short story finally bring Mary-Lynnette and Ash together in a way the book left off achingly shy of. On the other hand, Ash is so frantic and not himself in this short that it's almost surreal. Glad he met his goals in his amends and finally went after Mary-Lynnette, but also once again left hanging where there is no real conclusion for the desperate soulmates. They just can't seem to get a break.
