"What's Yours is Mine" by Jess Haines Still Waters is like many other exclusive gated communities—except that it's home to one of the largest werewolf packs in the state.

Except no one in Jon's upscale neighborhood is quite who they appear to be. Least of all Jon. . . I requested this book for review. I met Jess Haines at AAD Philly and she kept talking about this book that she wrote with Alexandra Ivy, Angie Fox, and Tami Dane. The title alone grabbed me! All I saw was DRAMA in the paranormal community! ((HOLLA)) In the first story we meet Sophia… Queen Bitch of the Weres… In Where Darkness Lives Someone is stalking her and when she hires Miami body guard… Luc she is not sure what to think… He’s a distraction to herself and her wolf.. Everyone in the neighborhood could have it out for Sophia.. There is a Nymph and her Cur then the vampire down the block.. Who knows who is trying to kill her… Then again it could be Luc with his killer body and eggs rancheros…. I enjoyed the chemistry between Luc and Sophia and when the sparks fly oh do they fly! Bodyguards can be very protective of your body, but in devilishly good ways! In the story Murder on Mysteria Lane Holy chit batman but the Vampire Detective Lucien Mead was hot! And Heather and her tomboyish ways… Its was literally like the movie Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock only this chick was a were.. and well she was no walk in the park… The women of Mysteria lane know there is something strange about Heahter… but the one thing all the women have in common is they are all married to Vampires, and they are all weres of different classes. There is a Tiger, Vulture, and Omega Were. The story itself was great. There was a lot of mystery.. I couldn’t figure out who the bad guy was. There were many suspects and major players in the game, but I still was amazed by the turn of events and the reason for the murder of one of the werewives. Definitely want to read this story! It was one of my favorites! In Werewolves in Chic Clothing… This was a great murder mystery possible suicide and all the clues lead you down a trail of who done it… Was it Jonathan in the kitchen with the fishing wire? Or perhaps it was the neighbor next door with the screaming children with a lead pipe? My second favorite story in this anthology! Christine just moved in with her new fiancé Jonathan and his son. On her first day she gets a visit from the women in this lush community. Things are not what they seem as the women all mention Jonathans late wife,and how they believe Jonathan is the murderer! Christine doesn’t want to second guess her finance but… they haven’t really known each other long. There is the one fact that he is never home during the day works really long hours and he pops up out of nowhere scaring her in the dark… Could he be the murderer? There are so many clues that take you on different paths.. but let me say this.. The Murderer will surprise you! I was definitely surprised… This neighborhood is filled a biting dog that doesn’t look like a dog.. Murdered cats at the door step… Yellow eyes in the woods at night.. And a neighbor who plays with really huge dogs at Midnight! And lots of Necking. What’s yours in Mine was interesting tale of being part of the Inner Crowd. Still Waters is a gated community only it houses one of the largest werewolf packs in their state. Tiffany Winters moves into the community following her divorce. The women of Still Waters wants her to be a part of the pack but before they make their move they have to make sure she is right for them. I was sometimes confused as I read the stories when going from one point of view to the other. There were some things that I had to go back and re-read to make sure that I understood. Tiffany has secret's of her own and once I figured out what it was, it sort of made sense. I did understand her motive but the logic behind the motive was just strange. But strange can be good. I did enjoy the ending and how it was kind of like, she got her comeuppance in return. She wanted to be part of the pack was even willing to black mail them, and in the end she got what she wanted… But not the outcome she was hopping for. Over all I enjoyed reading this book… It took me a while but that was due to illness. I definitely recommend this book! Alexandra Ivy rocks! I was able to be introduced to three more new Authors which is a bonus for me. I will definitely be looking to read Tami Dane and Angie Fox And Jess Haines books. Actually I have Blood of Eden by Tami Dane now… It comes out in December so look for the review late November!

A lot of my friends aren't too hot on this book. A common complaint I hear about it is that the mechanism of the older, experienced deamon writing letters to his young inexperienced nephew deamon gets old fast. But it didn't get old for me. I found the entire book to be clever and thought-provoking.
This book is hilarious. I will probably read it again.
An okay travelogue, if taken as such, but I wasn't really buying Winchester's journey through Chinese history angle. Interesting meditations on the Three Gorges dam, Shanghai circa 1996 (an eternity ago in Shanghai history), and the Opium and Tea trades, but the content is choppy. His tone seems derogatory, and although he vows at one point not to "make judgements about China lightly," he puts down everything from the Chinese demeanor to Sichuan fire peppers (which he claims smell too "soapy.") Modern China is a difficult place to take, agreed, but, I sensed a closed mind, not what I would expect from an otherwise great writer.
