Devil Take Me by Jordan L. Hawk, C.S. Poe, Rhys Ford, Jordan Castillo Price, Tricia Kristufek, Ginn Hale
5.0
Infernal Affairs by Jordan L. Hawk
Oh, this one was fun! I mean, the whole thing was hilarious and still manage to be full of suspense. Ralgath and Chess are wonderful, but Fluffpaw? Fluffpaw was adorable :P
The feelings growing between the MCs felt real and soon, I found myself wishing with all my heart that they will be able to find their HEA.
No surprise, really. Jordan L. Hawk always manages to bespell me ♥
Collared by T.A. Moore
This one is complex and you know from the beginning that it won't be a traditional romance. I love the way each of the characters is flawed, and yet you get them, you understand and care for them. A true noir crime set in a paranormal Universe, genius! The darkest of the bunch, but really, really good.
Counterfeit Viscount by Ginn Hale
A romance born between bullets and tops hats, this is a great story, truly delightful. And putting it after 'Collared' was an excellent choice.
Wonderland City by Rhys Ford
A twisted version of 'Alice in Wonderland', full of exciting adventure and romance. I haven't read a lot by this author, but this story certainly makes me want to read more :)
Dark Favors by Jordan Castillo Price
Oooooookay. I love the world-building in this one, and I really love the story. But the romance? I'm sorry, but nope. The sex feels too rapey for my tastes and I simply couldn't get over it.
And about the narration, Greg Tremblay does a fantastic job with this anthology.
11:59 by C.S. Poe
Oh! I love the concept of this story. I love that, in a world populated with human nightmares, the one man who can't dream is the hero. And I love that Merrick is the key to solve the whole thing.
I like the nod to Greek mythology, I like the way Asuka is presented as a worn-out hero who keeps going after monsters just because it's what he does. And I love how Merrick changes it all for him.
This is the first paranormal/fantasy I read by C.S. Poe, and I loved it.
