A review by tundragirl
Shadow Unit 1 by Elizabeth Bear, Will Shetterly, Emma Bull, Kyle Cassidy, Sarah Monette
2.0
I got this because I love Elizabeth Bear--I've never heard of the other authors. I know from reading Bear's blog that she is a fan of the show Criminal Minds, which I just don't get. I think it's a terrible, terrible show.
This book is essentially Criminal Minds fanfic, with the names and races of the main characters changed, and a little bit of the supernatural thrown in. If I want supernatural crime solving, I can think of plenty of other books and series that do it better and more originally. Bob Howard and Harry Dresden spring to mind immediately. I think I'll pass on the other installments (or I guess I should say "episodes").
