Blinded by magic:This was a fun read. The characters are fun. Raven and Derek have a hard road in front of them from the beginning because Raven is a witch and Derek is not. She struggles about her inability to tell Derek when they first start dating and getting serious that she is a witch. The story moves pretty quickly and you get to see quite a bit of their life, though not in great detail.Blind Date:I’ve never read a magical realism story before, at least that I know of lol. It was interesting. I knew the Greek story but I went ahead and read it again as a refresher real quick before reading this. I’m glad I did. It adds something to the story. I enjoyed the story and the characters. Annie made a mistake listening to her sisters and has to go through a journey to fix it. It’s interesting because magic is there but it is never outright mentioned or explained. It’s like it’s in the background except it’s a main part of the story. All in all, a quick fun read.Breathless:This is a post-apocalyptic world where some people have a disease that is really similar to zombies and other people are normal. Some virus was the cause of this but nobody really knows what happened, why, or why to do. I’ve never been a huge fan of post apocalyptic, end of the world stories. This was definitely not my favorite out of the anthology but it was well written and different. I’ve never heard anything else like it really. I’m sure if you enjoy this genre you will enjoy this story.The Passion CureAbsolutely loved this story!!!! I think it might be my favorite out of all of them. It has a great storyline and it flows really well. I fell in love with the characters right away. They are really well written and relatable. There are plenty of surprises and twists and turns to keep you guessing and completely engaged. Once I started reading the story, I couldn’t stop. I had to continue and find out what was going to happen next. I don’t know if this is a start to a series or not but I would LOVE to read more and would definitely buy this series if it happens to be one.Marked: Toil and TroubleThis story was interesting, definitely kept my attention the whole time. I didn’t know what was going to happen next. There are a lot of twists and turns in this story and you won’t see who the killer is until the end. I liked the characters. They were well written and enjoyable.The Warlord’s ConcubineThis was an interesting story. I enjoyed it. It is definitely darker than what I am used to reading but it was good. I enjoyed the story. The characters are well written. It is very explicit. Kulav is a conqueror in everything he does, so be prepared. It isn’t just all sex though. There is more to this story. They have to keep the city.A Demon and His WitchAbsolutely loved this story and these characters!!! They are engaging and they definitely drew me in from the beginning. They are funny and the situations they get into as they dance around each other and their desire are awesome. I laughed often in this story. It is well written and held my attention from the beginning. I love the sarcasm that the main characters have and the take on hell. It’s interesting and different. I really enjoyed this story. Recommend it.Psychic AppealThis was a fun read. I really liked Jacob and Sofia. They are both hurting but are drawn to each other. I like how they worked past their hurt and didn’t just make it disappear because they now had feelings for each other. There are also more twists than I was expecting in the story. It will keep your attention.Memoir of a Reluctant ShamanThis was interesting. It had an interesting tone and way it was written It feels more like a conversation in most of the story.Vampire Lords of Blacknall: TrinityThis was a fun read. I enjoyed this. It was different than I was expecting and a different take on vampires than I had previous read. It was a good change too. I liked it and thought that it was well done. I’ll definitely be looking at the other stories in this series to read the brother’s stories.
