5.0
Undines, Fae, and mysterious Aliens. 3 authors, 3 worlds, 3 stories, 1 wonderful book.
To be honest, I bought this book because of the story by Juliette Cross, who is a personal fave, but I discovered a couple of new-to-me authors that I'm going to enjoy exploring more.
What a lovely bonus.
Each story appears to be a stand alone, but they made me want to dive further into their respective worlds again.
They hurt so good and have just the right amount of steam.
I'd consider this anthology to be more shadowy than dark. It has some edgy themes, but nothing really disturbing.
YMMV, of course.
