My View:

This is a great book to cut your teeth on when you want to get into paranormal stories. The different stories cover everything from demons to sorcerers to werewolves to vampires. Each story is only an average of 20 to 30 pages long, so they don't get to go in complete detail, but enough to entice people to check out other books by the same authors. Each of the stories is well written. With so many it is hard to talk about each individually. I particularly liked several including "Succubus Seduction" by Cheyenne McCray, "Light Through the Fog" by Holly Lisle, Blue Crush by Rachel Caine and The Wager by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
