Week 18 Review: Heroic Hearts

From Goodreads:

An all-star urban fantasy collection featuring short stories from #1 New York Times bestselling authors Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, Charlaine Harris, Kelley Armstrong, and more . . .

In this short story collection of courage, adventure, and magic, heroes—ordinary people who do the right thing—bravely step forward.

But running toward danger might cost them everything. . . .

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's "Little Things," the pixie Toot-Toot discovers an invader unbeknownst to the wizard Harry Dresden . . . and in order to defeat it, he'll have to team up with the dread cat Mister.

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs's "Dating Terrors," the werewolf Asil finds an online date might just turn into something more—if she can escape the dark magic binding her.

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris's "The Return of the Mage," the Britlingen mercenaries will discover more than they've bargained for when they answer the call of a distress beacon on a strange and remote world.

And in #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's "Comfort Zone," the necromancer Chloe Saunders and the werewolf Derek Souza are just trying to get through college. But they can't refuse a ghost pleading for help.

My Review:
This was such a great collection of stories! I think there were more stories and authors that I was interested in then that I wasn't, so that was really great! I had such a great time in these various familiar worlds from these authors, and reading this collection was so great!

Top of my head, my favourites were of course the Asil story, the Chloe and Derek story, the Toot-Toot story, the Others story and the Eliza and Conner story. These continuations of the series were so great, and I loved seeing these characters again, and this part of the Others world for the first time! 

The Charlaine Harris story, if I didn't know going in that it features characters who were in the Stookie Stackhouse series, I would've thought that it was a new to me world. It was really interesting, and I would love to spend more time with the Britlingen mercenaries! 

Of course Dating Terrors phenomenal. I've been loving this short stories of Asil's dates, and of them, this was the most game-changing. I hope we get to see more of them of the future! Plus the way it ended was pretty hilarious, his one word reply! 

I'm so glad that I read this anthology, it had some really great reads that I thoroughly enjoyed!
