Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions by Melissa Marr, Kelley Armstrong, Rachel Caine
4.0
This is an anthology with stories by sixteen "Smart Chicks" authors including Jeri Smith-Redy, Kelley Armstrong, Melissa Marr, Rachel Vincent, and more. The stories run the gamut from sweet to creepy, from funny to serious, but all are well crafted and interesting.
Like all anthologies, there were stories I liked, and others, not so much. But even the ones that didn't top my "favorites" list were still good. All of them contained paranormal aspects. The crafting of Jeri Smith-Redy's story "Bridge" was unusual enough to make it stand out. Written in free-form poetry style, it was soul-wrenching, poignant and moving. There were others that pulled the heartstrings as well. But there were also ones that made me laugh, or cringe.
Overall, this was an really good anthology that would be a great buy for those who don't have time or don't want to spend a lot of time in a long novel. The stories are short, easy to read and very well crafted.
Recommended for any teen who loves paranormals and a little bit of romance.
