Urban Enemies by Joseph Nassise

4.0

This one was hard to rate since I was unfamiliar with half the authors, but it was still a great dive into urban fantasy from the point of view of the villains. Many were a mix of anti-heroes and truly sadistic beings, and overall I enjoyed the stories. Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Jonathan Mayberry, and Diana Pharaoh Francis had the best ones in my opinion, but there are definitely stories for all urban fantasy fans, with all kinds of vampires, demons, angels, gods, ghosts, and supernatural elements filling the pages and expanding your imagination. I kind of wish some of the stories were longer and would have enjoyed some of them more with a bit more context, but again, none of these were bad, and Francis in particularly sparked my interest on reading more of her series to see what led her characters to the story's main setting. A great collection of short reads that don't provide any spoilers for new fans looking to expand their urban fantasy library.
