-The Majicka by MaryJanice Davidson was a fun entertaining read. Felt a little short, but that's often her style. I'm not going to say any more but it's worth the read. 5 stars
-Voodoo Moon by Lori Handeland was a little too contrived but not awful. 3 stars
-Breath of Magic by Cheyenne McCrary was absolutely AWFUL. There wasn't a whole lot of plot once you get past the sex scenes. 1 star
-Any Witch Way She Can by Christine Warren was cute but the ending was kind of stupid. 4 stars
Rated by buyers -
I love anthologies. Especially if they are of the paranormal romance genre. This was a good book. Not the best I've ever read, but not the worse either.

I really enjoyed MaryJanice Davidson's story in this anthology, and would love to see the characters again in their own book. Although it contained the same "we just met, now let's have sex" as most of her other books, the characters were funny and unique enough that I still liked it.
Lori Handeland's story was quite freaky, Cheyenne McCray's was sexy, and Christine Warren's was really enjoyable.
Overall, a quick way to spend an hour or two!

This is a paranormal romance anthology containing four short stories from four different authors.
The Majicka - By MaryJanice Davidson - a humorous tale about a wealthy farm/land owner that takes in stray folk from the mystical realm; a fairy, a vampire, a werewolf and a woman trapped within a car. When another mysterious stranger ends up on her doorstep it's to reveal something otherworldly about herself.
Voodoo Moon - By Lori Handeland - A serial killer who leaves absolutely no clues at the crime scenes in a small town, except voodoo dolls, has the sheriff finally asking for help from the FBI. Skeptical agent Dana Duran doesn't believe in things that go bump in the night, but soon she starts seeing things she can't explain with her own eyes.
Breath of Magic - By Cheyenne McCray - A battle between good an evil and the possession of a powerful eye ensues in the city and the witches are paired up with Tuatha D'Danann warriors to help them in this power struggle.
Any Witch Way She Can - By Christine Warren - A human girl surrounded by a family of magical foxwomen, werewolves and other magical entities is an oddity. Randy doesn't mind her human status but seeks to find a love ever lasting conjuring a spell from one of her cousin's magical books. The result lands her in her grandmother's house in the middle of a dinner party in nothing but her pajamas.
My one problem with this anthology is one I share with most romance anthologies; making the characters fall in love in less than 100 pages. That means, typically, within a day of meeting these characters are oozing undying love for one another and usually it's not very convincing. I don't know why they insist on doing it that way when you can still have the romance, even the sex, with the characters FALLING in love; they just don't have to complete the journey and FALL in one day.
This is one of the better anthologies I have ever read. I enjoyed all the stories and found their paranormal plot's phenomenal. Breath of Magic left me lost a time or two as it seems to be part of a series I have never read, but for the most part I thoroughly enjoyed it. MaryJanice's had her signature humour all over that story, from the giant He-Fairy to the car with attitude, I giggled continuously. All in all each story lends a unique and exciting twist on the paranormal and on romance. Enjoy!

Okay since this is an anthology I guess I should rate each of the stories individually. The individual reviews will follow my overall thoughts of the anthology. A reoccurring hitch in each of the stories to me was the romances developed too quickly (even taking in account the nature of short stories) It was a nice introduction to each of the authors, and each story had their strong points and weak points.
"The Majicka" by Maryjanice Davison (4.5/5)
This was a hilarious short story that parodied at the fact that the numerous characters that toe (if not completely pass by) the line of becoming a Mary Sue/Gary Sue. You also had your various supernatural elements: a chosen one and her Guide, werewolves, vampires, fairies, etcetera, oh and you can't forget the not so understanding family members, several love at very first sight (or after a few moments) romances and a mystery, all tied up into an enjoyable and light hearted read.
"Voodoo Moon" by Lori Handerland (3/5)
An FBI agent is sent to Devil's Fork to investigate a string of murders, the only clue being that of a voodoo doll with the same manner of death upon it. While there the FBI agent questions the owner of the local voodoo shop. She discovers that an evil spirit had been summoned, and the only way to send him back was to use a spell that was the exact opposite of the spell used to summon it. Interesting storyline, but I felt the ends could have been tied up a bit tighter.
"Breath of Magic' by Cheyenne McCray (3/5)
A group of eight soldiers (4 witches, 4 warriors) are the only defense between the world and a blind god out to take over the world. During this desperate battle, love blooms between one of the witches and her warrior partner. This story had the feel of a prolog or an introduction to a story, rather than a complete story. It was good, but when I finished, I felt like I was missing the rest of it.
"Any Witch Way She Can" by Christine Warren (3.5/5)
When the heroine decides to takes love into her own hands, and casts a love spell should act pretty much like a cosmic personal ad, she doesn't expect to relive the day that made her choose to do this spell. The idea of playing with time was quite amusing, especially since it was entirely accidental because a spell's instructions weren't followed to the letter. I was a bit miffed at the sudden development of powers, when the heroine had not previously shown any magical abilities in over thirty years.
