Since Gin has many enemies, she is not surprised when all the fun turns deadly, except this time, there is someone dear to her whose life is at stake. As Gin deals in death by trade, new readers should expect a high level of Urban Fantasy style violence. Fans of Ms. Estep will enjoy seeing their favorites in this new adventure.
A WILDERNESS OF GLASS by Grace Draven
This high fantasy tale of a musically gifted village woman, Brida Gazi, a widow who lives by the sea that is her livelihood as well as responsible for taking the life of her husband delivers all of my favorite elements of magic, myth, and romance. When Brida discovers a creature in desperate need, her whole life changes in a way that rekindles her broken heart, but also comes with great danger. Brida is kind, selfless, and though life has held great sorrow, she gives of herself asking nothing in return; however, the perilous risk Brida takes fills her heart once again in a way she thought lost forever to the sea. Ms. Draven’s lyrical and often haunting writing will turn new readers into fans and deeply satisfy those who are familiar with her work.
A CURSE FOR SPRING by Amanda Bouchet
In this enchanting tale of a land where magic can do great good or evil, Prince Daric and his family have been under a curse that has withheld Spring rains from their land every year no matter how much prayer and supplication they make to the goddess, Braylian. Out of desperation, Daric as a young boy standing in front of Braylian’s Cauldron, calls her daughter, Spring, bringing her into his world. Now grown up and the best of friends and perhaps more, Daric and Rain, the once goddess and now a magical human, are being forced into an untenable situation caused by the decidedly evil Queen of a nearby kingdom. Daric and Rain would give anything, make any sacrifice, to avoid this heartbreaking fate. Ms. Bouchet, as always, weaves a well told tale with a good balance of action, adventure, and romance. This captivating story will leave readers well pleased and wanting more from this compelling couple.
THE DRAGONS OF SUMMER by Jeffe Kennedy

An old sorrow comes back into Harlan’s life that threatens his relationship with the woman he loves. Bound by a vow, the information Harlan has kept from Ursula could serve to undo them causing devastation and heartbreak. Adding to that, another man has interest in Ursula for a political alliance. Fans of the series will be pleased to find a happy, long desired surprise amidst all this talk of war and strife. Ms. Kennedy’s heroines are fierce warriors who match their equally courageous men in strength and determination to not shy away from whatever life throws at them.
This anthology of Fantasy and Urban Fantasy adds much to the works of these gifted writers and will give new readers a taste of their fine talent. Ms. Bouchet’s story is a standalone while the tales from Ms. Draven, Ms. Kennedy, and Ms. Estep are connected to some of their other series.
