There are six stories in this 283-page anthology by Mackenzie McKade, Jennie Andrus, Charlene Teglia, Kate Davies, Cassandra Kane, and Lorelei James. My two favorites were the stories by McKande and Teglia. All the stories center around Samhain (Halloween) and involve magic, mayhem, hot sex, and love. Genres range from historical to s/f to contemporary. Definately worth the read! ( )

It seems that anthologies so many times consist of one really great story, and then the rest are so dull in comparison. Not this one. I love this book from beginning to end. A must read for all! :) ( )
