Nasty by R.M. Walker:
This story felt like more than an anthology novella. This is a dark contemporary romance that sets the tone of the anthology. It felt complete and finished with a completely satisfying ending. The history between Pip and Ned was so twisty and delicious. Yum!

Twisted Revenge by C.N. Marie:
Think Romeo and Juliet if they were both from criminal organizations and completely hot for each other. This is a contemporary romance that really felt more like a teaser for a larger story to come. I'll be watching for it!

Welcome to the Bratva by Alexis Taylor and Beth Hendrix:
This was my favorite of the anthology. It was a brief but hot beginning to the story of a mafia princess learning who she is. I was cheering by the end!

Possession by LaSasha Flame:
This is a paranormal romance but very much the initial teaser for a longer story. I wish there was a bit more because I definitely wasn't ready for that end.

Hunting by Poppy Brooks:
A dark vampire romance that will keep you hungry. More to come from this story, as well!

Darkest Obsession by Ava Campbell and Jess Buffett:
Another paranormal romance that had me hooked from the get. There was a surprisingly vivid world built in a short amount of time and I need more. I'm adding these authors to those I stalk if this is the kind of work they can do with a few dozen pages.

This is a relatively short anthology full of new to me authors. It’s got a little bit of everything mafia, angels, demons, vampires and one common denominator. Bad boys. Gotta love ‘ em right!

Varying steam and levels of darkness here. Most of the contributions are the beginnings of stories rather than full works. I’m definitely going to find and read the finished works when they are available.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
