Pleasantly surprised, a must for Hollows fans

I typically dislike short story compilations (at least short stories about characters encountered in series, as opposed to stand-alone short stories, like Flannery O'Connor classics, etc) and so, despite being a Hollows fan, haven't read any of these previously. I usually feel cheated with a short story compilation, but not with this volume. If you are a fan of the Hollows series, you shouldn't miss this book. I loved getting the extra background on the secondary characters and the chance to hear new stories about characters who have "passed beyond the veil" in the series. Especially loved the caper with Jenks and Trent (Million Dollar Baby.) That story alone is worth the purchase price.

Gavin, as always, delivers as narrator. She is becoming one of my favorites, along with Kate Reading, Grover Gardner, George Guidall, Simon Prebble, Stephen Pacey, Bernadette Dunne -- well, I go on for awhile with this list. I will just say I think Gavin is on par with some of the better narrators.

5 Star Bonus, questions answered! & More Kisten

This one really is for the fans of the Hollows. It was fun getting all the juicy insiders about Rachel, Ivy, Trent, Al and the rest. But for me it was so nice to get more of Kisten. This collection of short stories has great stories with Kisten. Yes that sexy Kisten and you get to see how close he really was with Ivy and even a deeper love for Rachel. If you are hungry for more of Kisten, Rachel, Ivy, Trent and yes Jenks. This little morsel might just help tide be over until the release of the next Hollow’s book. Another great surprise is length of the anthology. It is so work the credit. I was thoroughly entertained for 20 and 6 minutes with Marguerite Gavin as the narrator, she is a terriffic narrator!. Thanks audible for offering this at such a great price. Wow what a deal! Kim Harrison really know how to say thank you to her fans, this collection of short stories is all for the Fans. I loved it!

Just what we needed!

I usually don't go in for the short stories. I love these stories that fill in holes in the past. Exactly how Cerri was trapped by Al, Rachel sumoning Pierce the first time as a teenager, and the effect it had on her. A must read if you follow this series.

The good, the bad, and the undead

I like most of the stories but not all. Only listen to this book if you have already read the other books in the series. The only question mark I have is the story about kistin. I could have sworn in The Undead Pool Rachael said kistin didn't have any siblings but in the short story about him in this book, he has a sister. Anyway... some stories are good and some stories are bad but all are worth listening to if you are fan of the hollows.

Not what I needed

This is not the book I had been waiting for. I guess I tried to fill the gap while I waited for book 11 & 12 to come out. I actually didnt finish it. This didn't do it for me. Maybe I will give it another try at a later date when I am really bored.

got me back into reading the hollows again!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I was pleasantly surprised with the writer, reader and story overall.

Would you recommend Into the Woods to your friends? Why or why not?

I would mostly recommend this particular book of shorts to people who are already reading the hollows series the only reason I really say that is because some of the stories would be confusing if read before starting the series. as some of the shorts contain characters that aren't in all of the hollows books.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Marguerite Gavin?

I was impressed with the reader especially liking the voice she chose for the infamous pixie Jenks.a good voice match for a good character.

Did Into the Woods inspire you to do anything?

I picked up this gem of a read for a change in pace when things started to get a little too slow paced for me in the hollows series. hoping that the shorts would pack just enough concentrated punch to encourage me to go back to reading the hollows series at great length ... and it had me doing just I am now on book seven of the series and that is pretty good because i was two books behind that only a couple weeks before.

Out of series but important

What did you love best about Into the Woods?

This book explains who Daryl is. You really shouldn't continue the series unless you have read this one in order.
