Alright! Let's do this!!My review is going to be different from my normal ones because this was three novellas in one book, cool? Cool.So overall, I loved the mix of two humorous stories and one more serious, darker story. I thought while they stories were shorter they were complete, would have I liked to have seen more of each? Well yeah I love Melissa's writing of course I did. i think that if she never decided to dip farther into each one of these worlds she totally could. I think though for short, easy, fun reads these were perfect.Now a little more in depth about each one!Reap the Shadow, Slay the LightI really enjoyed the concept of this story, we start off very in the dark with Phoebe, which I think works really well for the story. I enjoyed that we got this very much darker story than the other two were. This was intense, it was get your heart-racing, and what will happen next sort of thing. There was mystery, a bit of gore, but over all just awesome-ness. I enjoyed the relationship between Will and Phoebe. I LOVED Will, so much he was not going to let Phoebe be a hermit and waste away. The entire novella was very creative and interesting. I had never really seen anything like this and I loved it. So very much! Very intriguing.WarWolf: Half breedDon't let the name fool you, it is not about a werewolf going to War.....yeah I didn't totally think that when i first saw the title or anything.... hahaha...anyways this was a fun little tale about accepting who you are, even if you are a mix amounts of races. I really enjoyed the different-ness of Declan, he was funny, and sweet, but very emotional. At first I felt a little awkward with him but he really grew on me and I did end up falling for him, much like Ema. She is also a very interesting character who tries to control exactly how she feels, but she indulges both of her sides, Warlock, and Werewolf.MovedThis. WAS. FANTASTIC. Seriously. I adored this novella. It was hilarious, it was sexy, it was just totally utterly amazing. It had to be my favorite out of these three, and I just loved, loved, loved Racer, and Gillian's chemistry. I loved Gillian's pranks and attics, omgod so funny i was laughing my ass off through out most of the entire book. I enjoyed the splash of action that we get ^.^ cause yay! Love that, and I enjoyed the sort of "we are in the dark" but not quite that much vibe it had. I really just loved this novella, and I can't wait to re-read it again, and again, and again.
