    MaryJanice Davidson

    Life's a bit crowded for Ireland and her roommates—a fairy, a werewolf, a vampire, and now a zombie…especially when a mysterious man walks through the door. Will there be any room left for love?

    Lori Handeland
    "Voodoo Moon"
    For Devil's Fork–based FBI Agent Dana Duran, the only way to fight a supernatural serial killer just may be to embrace life. But little did she know that voodoo could be so viciously sexy…

    Cheyenne McCray
    "Breath of Magic"
    San Francisco's witches are in an epic battle. But even if Sydney can use her sultry ways and ancient Druid powers to save the world, can she risk losing her heart to handsome warrior Conlan?

    Christine Warren
    "Any Witch Way She Can"
    A desperately lonely witch decides to take matters of love into her own hands when she casts a cosmic personal ad…only to find that the perfect formula for love is a strange brew indeed.

      “The Majicka” MaryJanice Davidson--Ireland (I know) lives with a fairy, a vampire, a werewolf, a spirit trapped in a car, and what she assumes is a zombie. She picks up strays, see, and they all live at her farm as one big, happy, bickering family of weirdness. While she's trying to save, or at least care for, the zombie, Micah shows up to do his cosmic duty and train Ireland because she is the next "Majicka" or guardian of all magic. Mysteries are solved, true love ensues, etc.

      “Voodoo Moon” Lori Handeland--Hey, it's an FBI agent named Dana and everyone jokes about how she's Scully, that's funny. Yeah, no, it isn't. Also there is a serial killer, voodoo, and a hot guy who runs the local voodoo shop. Despite the crappy plot I found Dana and Julian to at least have chemistry with each other so I enjoyed their scenes together.

      “Breath of Magic” Cheyenne McCray--You know those stories where witches are bonded to their warriors and everyone talks about the Tuatha D'Danann? Yeah, this is one of those. It's as if the author tried to do that whole modernize the ancient Celts thing but that honestly only ever worked for Patricia Kennealy and IMO it's never worked in romance.

      “Any Witch Way She Can” Christine Warren--I really kind of like time travel romance, so even though the travel in this case was only one day back I still liked it. Not great, but not the worst in this book.

      I really enjoyed the Mary Janice Davidson story. In fact, I found myself wishing these characters had more time--in that the entire book had been about them! It felt like an excellent start to a longer work. Sadly, with the way it wrapped up, I really doubt this will ever happen. (Not that it was a horrific ending--just that it had a definite wrap-up.)

      The second and third were fine, and I really disliked the last story. It's difficult to enjoy something when the heroine is so unlikable. Really, really unlikable. Like the kind of person you see and then you walk the other direction and perhaps hide behind something to avoid them just so you don't have to even say "hi".
    • 4/5
      Four so-so offerings featuring the usual cast of romance-challenged witches, warriors, fairies and werewolves. MaryJanice Davidson's The Majicka in which Ireland and her unusual roommates (a fairy, a vampire, a curse-infested car, and a werewolf) acquire a new roommate - a zombie - is probably the most fun.The others? Lori Handeland's Dana Duran hunts down a voodoo-practicing serial killer in the small town of Devil's Fork in Voodoo Moon. In Cheyenne McCray's Breath of Magic the city of San Francisco has a lot more to worry about than earthquakes - didn't finish this one. And finally, in Christine Warren's Any Witch Way She Can a lonely woman dabbles in with a love spell and manages to send herself back in time - all the way to the day before.Overall, a fairly banal collection.
    • 3/5
      The Magicka, Maryjanice Davidson. The author has an odd fondness for small mammals, using the phrase marmoset like quickess, and comparing a dryad to a lemur. The Tutor comes to teach the new Majicka and finds her trying to help a zombie with the help of her room mates (a 6 foot 7 fairy, a werewolf, a woman cursed into an SUV, and a vampire). Bit of meta when she uses the term Marysue. I'd be willing to read more from this author, she's got a sense of humour.Voodoo Moon, Lori Handeland. The short story was a bit too short to go from hard as nails FBI agent to someone accepting witchcraft and voodoo and all sorts of supernatural stuff, but it was a fun tale.Breath of Magic, Cheyenne McCrey. Gah, this story drove me a bit nuts. The sex was hot but women were shamed for having sex and getting caught naked with their lovers, four times in one shrot story. The last scene was over filled with porny cliches. Thumbs down.Any Witch Way She Can, Christine Warren. A woman cavalierly makes substitutions in a love spell and gets thrown back in time one day to crash a dinner party at her grandmother's house. Luckily she lands at the feet of a hunky guy. Sex hot, woman annoying. :)
    • 4/5
      This is a collection of short stories with variations on the themes of modern fantasy (witches in today's world, fighting Balor and Fomorii in San Francisco and the like) mixed with a healthy dose of sex and/or romance.The first two stories are interesting enough to make me look for more by their authors when I'm next in the bookshop. The witches fighting the Fomorii didn't grab me really, and the last story was like a really bad porn movie: no plot and no good sex either.The Magicka seems like it could be fun in a full length book - the idea that she's a sort of source of magic for all the supernatural things around is not entirely novel, but nicely done and interesting. Voodoo Moon neatly defuses the riffs it sets up on "The X-files" but still works well with them, the skeptical female FBI agent investigating deaths by "voodoo doll." It also, and bonus marks here, correctly identifies them as poppets and part of English witchcraft rather than the voodoo tradition. It could also be a fun book or two to read. In both of them the "OMG I'm in love, I want sex, I get sex" is kind of rapid, as you might guess from a short story with other plot, but it doesn't have that rushed "get yer kit off" feel of the last story, and that helps raise them to be more interesting books, and to have the sex scenes work better to be honest.
    • 4/5
      Four stories from some very varied writers, all featuring witches and all featuring romance.The first is by Maryjanice Davidson and it's about a woman called Ireland who lives in a farmhouse with several different races of supernatural creatures. She has a destiny that she has to live up to and a mentor arrives. This is pretty predictable with the characters being pretty typical MaryJanice Davidson characters. Readable but not really memorable.Lori Handeland's Voodoo Moon is the story of a hard-baked FBI agent, Dana Duran, having to deal with some Voodoo murders, one of her prime suspects she finds quite attractive. The solution is quite interesting.Cheyenne McCray's Breath of Magic is a story in her Magic world. I found it the weakest in the set, to know what's going on you really need to have read the series to get some of the references. Syndey has to use her powers to save the world but what's the cost of the battle and what are the motives of the people involved.Christine Warren's Any Witch Way She Can was my favourite story. A love spell goes awry and Randy finds herself getting involved in witch politics. Although it appears to be in her series it stands alone nicely and actually would make me curious about reading more by this author.Overall not a bad series of stories. Enjoyable.
