review 1: (Review from Friday Night Romance)I enjoyed all 4 stories in this collection, but I guess it’s no surprise to my blog readers that I loved Mina Khan’s Sealed With A Kiss the best! I love djinn’s and magic, and this story also has doppelgangers which I’m very partial too, lol! It’s a short, complex story with really cool mythology and characters. I definitely want to read more djinn stories soon.A Warrior’s Heart is a sci-fi romance which I don’t read a lot of, but I did enjoy the alien world in this one. The story actually has two couples and therefore multiple points-of-view. It was a bit confusing at first, all came together okay by the end. This story is part of a series which I probably won’t read, but I’d recommend it to readers more into the genre.D... moreead Drop and Chimera Born are also novellas connected to series’ by their authors and there was a lot to absorb of the worlds in such short romances, but they were a good sample of the authors’ styles and work I think. These two stories are both darker paranormals with demons and soul-eaters etc, but weren’t too bloody/gory. (They are romances after all!).Overall, this anthology has 4 strong stories and is an enjoyable read. No doubt different readers will have different favorites from it, but any paranormal romance fan is sure to discover a new author her
review 2: 1.A Warrior's Heart by S.E.Smith is a SciFi story. Normally I don't read SciFi. It's too far out , out there. This is an anthology so I tried it. It was a good story of 2 sets of siblings. Ben loves Evetta and Aaron loves Hanine. They are slaves determined to escape. The boys are from Earth but the girls are a bit different. So grab this story and read to the end.2.Sealed With a Kiss by Mina Khan is less SciFi and more paranormal. Rayez is a chef who is also a Djinn. Selene has been made a doppelganger by her step-father. She must get Rayez into the bottle and give it to Warren. She also has to protect her younger brother too. What's a girl to do? She works with Rayez, battles and saves a mad Djinn and destroys Warren. Now get your book and read this quick story to see how it all ends.3.Dead Drop by Carolyn Jewel is my favorite in this anthology. She asked her readers for reviews and I jumped on the bandwagon. She is a more realistic paranormal here. Wallace so wants to be a street witch. The class hates her bumbling around until she causes a major problem. There are always demons in class and Palla needs her help. He is one scary dude who has to show Wallace how to use her skills to help him free his twin from a Talisman. They fight. They argue. They love. But do they win? Please read this story. I needed tissues and it's only a novella!4.Chimera Born by Michelle Callahan is another paranormal type read. Atom is captive to the Triscani. He is meant to free Earth from their control. He can Timewalk and comes to Earth and meets Zoey. There is lots of fighting and death. There is a lot of information as it is the first book in this series. I was confused several times. I liked the plot and leading characters. By now you have read the first stories so finish up by reading this story. less

I liked this one. Liked the short by S.E. Smith the most, but the other stories were good too.
