Review Excerpt:

 Standout stories include Elaine Corvidae's "Hollow Dreams," in which Pook runs with a group of homeless kids, empowered but haunted by his halfbreed heritage; a similar problem of heritage faces the Harley-riding half-fae Lance in Danielle Ackley-McPhail's "At The Crossroads." In John Sunseri's hardboiled "Down These Mean Streets a Faerie Must Go," faerie PI Blossom investigates the death of the drug-running faerie C-Dog, and in James Chambers' "Sally Smiles," the theme gets a little skewed as the hero is plagued by demon-possessed quasi-Barbie dolls. 

Bad-Ass Faeries rides the wave of faerie popularity apparent to anyone who's ever entered a Hot Topic store, and readers will find its protagonists a refreshing change from the sugary-sweet faeries of their childhood.
