I went back and forth on the rating for this until I finally gave up and settled for the middle.

A few things you may want to know:
- all of these are essentially Halloween epilogues for previous books
- the first story is more of a slasher fic and there’s no romance at all
- second is four couples who clearly got together in previous books and are now either pregnant, infertile, or getting engaged
- third has an unhappy couple and a happy couple. It felt interstitial, like the unhappy heroine was going to get her own book soon
- fourth is funny, as usual for Tara Sivec

If not for the second two stories, this antho would have gotten a much lower grade. It doesn’t feel like a Halloween anthology so much as “here are some epilogues which will not make sense to you unless you have read all twenty of the books.”

If you like these authors and know the couples, it will likely be fun. Otherwise, I recommend getting your Halloween fix elsewhere.
