Publisher Description
This irresistible paranormal romance anthology from fifteen bestselling writers explores stories of the mortal and the monstrous that will capture your heart and resurrect your soul.
“Filled to the brim with enchanting fantasy backdrops and romances both straight and queer.”—Kirkus Reviews
Vampires and merpeople, angels and demons—the stories in this anthology imagine worlds where the only thing more powerful than the supernatural is love.
A girl in a graveyard goes on an unexpected date, a shipwrecked sailor makes a connection on a forbidden island, a piano melody summons a soulmate. Creatures of folktales and legend, of land and sea, of centuries past and life after life, all wrapped into one spellbinding compendium. Once you sink into its pages, it’ll never let you go.
Contributing authors: Kalynn Bayron, Kendare Blake, Kat Cho, Melissa de la Cruz, Hafsah Faizal, Sarah Gailey, Chloe Gong, Alexis Henderson, Adib Khorram, Anna-Marie McLemore, Casey McQuiston, Sandhya Menon, Akshaya Raman, Marie Rutkoski, and Julian Winters.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This swoonworthy paranormal romance anthology, edited by Caldwell (A Phoenix First Must Burn), features 15 stories from such authors as Hafsha Faizal, Chloe Gong, and Julian Winters, among others. An introspective examination of vengeance, Kendare Blake's "Undead Ghoul Meet-Cute" follows Maria, a once-human undead creature seeking revenge on the ghoul who turned her. "In the Eyes of Angels" by Alexis Henderson explores religious myth and leaps of faith, centering Tate, recovering from alcohol dependency, who, after getting fired from her job at a gas station, encounters a fallen angel. While most of the stories deliver well-drawn interpretations of dramatic love amid fantastical happenings, some are humorously couched in the everyday; Akshaya Raman's "If You Give an Asura a Cookie" chronicles Rupa's coming to terms with her appointment as a protector of the gods, even though all she wants is to stay curled up in her Ms. Marvel blanket. Meanwhile, Adib Khorram's "Kiss the Boy" features merperson Dylan, who lounges on a beach in human form while yearning for the boy who saved his life. Each story is delicately infused with the creators' lived experiences, and the protagonists come together in varying pairings, celebrating love across myriad gender and sexual identities. Ages 12–up.
