A collection of short stories: a magic school, a haunted house, an alien soulmate, randomly appearing objects, phone calls from ghosts, a healer in hiding, and wintermoon wishes. The first three are murder mysteries. The next three are about characters dealing with bereavement. All but the first two include romance.

These are decent stories. Only one I didn’t really like (the third one). But my favourite was something I had already read -- “Wintermoon Wish”, the first Shinn story I discovered. It’s still lovely.

I also warmed to “Can You Hear Me Now?” more than I expected to (Stacey gets phone calls from her late father, enquiring about her love life, and gets to know her new neighbour). I have conflicting feelings about the phone calls from ghosts, but the romance was warm and fuzzy. ( )

This is an enjoyable short story collection. They were fun and cozy reads—even considering the murder mystery aspect of a couple of them. It felt perfect for curling up under a blanket to read these. They were mostly in the fantasy genre, though not entirely, and there was enough variety that the stories all felt fresh and fun. ( )
