From Goodreads:

New York Times bestselling author Faith Hunter presents a stunning collection of stories from the world of shape-shifting vampire hunter Jane Yellowrock and beyond.

Collected together for the first time, this volume contains shorter works featuring heroines Jane Yellowrock and Nell Ingram, as well as a host of other characters from the Jane Yellowrock and Soulwood series. Faith Hunter is "an expert at creating worlds filled with intriguing supernatural elements and exciting scenarios"* and her skills are on full display in this collection. From a vampire-filled Halloween evening in New Orleans to the searing tale of how a certain were-leopard first got his spots, this collection has something for everyone, and each story is sure to put the super in supernatural.

With eighteen stories in all, Of Claws and Fangs will enrich and entertain--it's a must-have for Faith Hunter's readers and all lovers of fantasy.

My Review:
Yeah, we have all the current shorts in this world bundled in another collection! I know that if there are more shorts published in the future, that it becomes a bit questionable that there'll be another bind up for them, but for now, all of them are either in this collection or Blood in Her Veins, so it's easy to read all the content of this world, that I enjoy so!

I've read a few of these before, like most of How Occam Got His Name (I missed out on the ending) but a lot of these were new to me, and I really enjoyed seeing more of this world! I do miss Leo, who starred in the first two, so it was really great to be in his head!

About half of this collection is about the Everhart family, they have a lot of family members, between Angie Baby, Molly, and Liz. I loved watching them deal with their powers, and the threats that they were facing! Those last two, with the demon, were so great, but they were all great! 

Some stand outs were Of Cats and Cars, which has Beast hunting in a car with Edmund, I really loved that story. My Dark Knight, it was great, but so sad, but I think the theme is that I really enjoy Edmund's part of this series. Life's a Bitch and Then You Die, I loved getting this history of Beast that we didn't previously have, and she's such a pivotal part of the series! Bound in Darkness, I didn't like Liz at first because she had negative thoughts about Jane, and I care more about her, but the story was really great, and I loved what it added to the series! 

There were some really great stories in here and I'm so glad that I read this anthology!
