I love it when Nicholson boxes up his books, it gives readers so much more for their buck.  You can't beat $0.99.  Anyways on to the review:MAGIC DANCE is a compilation of three novellas; "October Girls", "Fangs in Vain" and "Bad Blood".OCTOBER GIRLSI wasn't too keen on reading the teen/young adult novella "October Girls" but I was pleasantly surprised.  The longest story in the collection, it captured my interest from the onset.  Crystal is a reluctant witch and her mother is apparently not the best of witches; Bone, Crystal's friend, is a ghost who goes back and forth between 'the other side' (called Darkmeet) and reality.  I found it a fun read with Halloween approaching and the end of the world swiftly arriving with it, It's Crystal and her mother's duty (for centuries) to keep the orifaces leading between both worlds closed.  Add some teen angst, some witty dialogue and you have a neat story that Nicholson pulls off.  I think the idea of 'Darkmeet' for the afterlife was a neat concept and hooked me from the start.FANGS IN VAINSabrina Vickers is an angel.  One with wings that can fly.  She's been an angel for three months and is uncertain exactly what she is supposed to be doing as God is not exactly forthcoming.  Luke is a vampire, not a sparkly one, but a strange one nonetheless.  Sabrina thinks she has a dual mission of bringing Luke back to God and preventing the end of the world from the Gog and Magog, but fell in love with Luke in the process.  While I loved this story and it was my favorite amongst all three novellas.  Angel sex, vampires, a ditsy friend, and the end of the world.  What's not to like?  I'll be looking for more Sabrina Vickers stories.  Very imaginative.BAD BLOODWritten with authors J.R. Rain and H.T. NightSpider is a vampire so bored he takes night classes and has developed a conscience.  Tired idea, I know, but these guys do pull it off.  Spider gets his name from being creepy.  Spiders are creepy, hence the name.  One night he meets Parker who enlists his aid in stopping her murderous cult father.  He reluctantly agrees to help and soon finds out his suspicions were well placed.  He realizes too late that the fly caught the spider.This is the only story I found errors.  A few misspellings and some voice confusion from first person to third, but only a couple, nothing to distract from the story.  I really liked the story and will be headed to the store to get the second story, SPIDER WEB.Overall I give this set 5 stars.  Clean writing, neat characters, imaginative and fun to read.
