#92 Trick of the Light by Rob Thurman

This is a new series set in the same universe as her other books but has almost no crossover except for a phone call. The setting is in Las Vegas and I think I have lost count of all the books I have read this year that were set in Las Vegas either as a one shot or the characters had to go go there. There is a hunt for a powerful shield by both the humans helping the angels, angles that are indifferent to the humans helping them and demons. Trixia is only interested in the artifact to trade it for info to find the demon that killed her brother. Of course things are not as they appear and the book is a good fun romp. I'll be looking for the next one.

#93 Unbound by Kim Harrison

This collection has five short stories with most of them set in the universe of each writer. The Kim Harrison one was nice since it featured Jinx. The Frost story is a prequel to her universe and it wasn't bad considering I have only read the first book and I didn't care for it that much and haven't read any more book in the the series. The Pettersson story fills in back story to her latest book and but if it is read before the latest on in the series I think it would diminish the story tension. The Drake story is a prequel story as well and is a bit jarring to read at first since you all ready have the characters in your head but it is still good. The Marr story was a bit different in the paranormal fantasy and I liked it. It make me want to poke around some mythology to see where she got her inspiration and where she went her own way,
