Good anthology - I really liked the Gena Showalter story and the Susan Krinard story was a good read-once - but the Maggie Shayne story [although well written] was not one I enjoyed.

The Darkest Angel is the story of the harpy Bianka [sister of the heroine in the last book] who finds her consort, Lysander, who is a warrior angel. He sees Bianka as 'evil' since she does bad things - without realizing that she ONLY does them to bad people. Bianka sees him [correctly] as a sanctimonious prig. They fight their mutual attraction madly but the eventual conclusion is inevitable. This is an offshoot of the Lords of the Underworld series.

Love Me to Death is well written but I found it a bit depressing.

Lady of the Nile combines reincarnation, the eternal battle of good vs evil, Egyptian Gods and Victorian England. The heroine is a widowed Duchess who believes she is Lady Tameri, an Egyptian princess. She has memories and flashbacks to ancient Egypt.

Leo Erskine is an Egyptologist who thinks she nuts but finds himself attracted to her. He intends to 'save her' by proving her claim her wrong. Eventually he becomes convinced that she is NOT, and that the past touches him as well.

The author mixes flashbacks, dream sequences, and multiple viewpoints in this story leading to a few 'hmmm moments' but it all ties together nicely in the ending.
