Stealer by A.M. Yates
When Dee chases a thief out of her house, she ends up with a whole new set of troubles... in a whole new world. Now, all she wants is to get back home again.
The Portal and the Panther by R.A. Marshall
All Jon Parker really wants is to graduate high school and escape his sleepy little hometown, but everything changes one day when he stumbles into the boys' bathroom and transforms into a panther. Without choice, he's thrust into a world in which alternate universes exist, people control the elements with a mere thought, and somehow it's his job to protect our world from interdimensional "intruders". But whether or not it's a job Jon will accept... well, that remains to be seen.
Undraland by Mary E. Twomey
Still reeling from the deaths of her parents and brother, Lucy is trying to get her life back on track — until short-tempered, handsome Jens saves her from a bear attack. Soon, Lucy is swept away to an enchanting world where Scandinavian fairytale creatures run wild... and adventure is for the taking.
Crystal Magic by Madeline Freeman
Reading people’s thoughts and making things move with her mind is nothing new for Kristyl, but she hopes to leave her past behind when she moves to Clearwater. But when a curse threatens her aunt’s life, she must do anything for a cure—including tapping into the magic that terrifies her.
My Fair Assassin by C.J. Anaya
After a childhood of foster families and being labeled freakish for her strange looks and eating habits, Crsyta is emancipated and providing for herself. Just when it seems she's finally settling into the normal life she always wanted, a dangerous man with lethal intent breaks into her apartment. But has this enticing stranger come to kill her or to protect her from others who will?
A Brush With the Moon by Raquel Lyon
When Sophie moves away to university, she isn’t expecting to be thrown into a world where supernatural creatures are real, nor is she expecting to attract the attention of the most eligible werewolf in town.
Soul Slam by Allie Burton
On her first heist, sixteen-year-old Olivia steals an ancient Egyptian amulet and inadvertently receives the soul of King Tut... and the curse that comes with it. But Xander believes it’s his place to inherit King Tut’s soul. Now, he must deal with the thief who stole the amulet. When the two find themselves up against a secret society that wants to use the curse to rule the world, they reluctantly join forces to end the curse before it turns deadly.
Ghost Hand by Ripley Patton
Olivia Black has a rare birth defect. Instead of a hand made of flesh and blood, she was born with a ghost hand.

Stranger worlds: by A.M. Yates: the Portal and the Panther by R.A.Marshall. This is the only one I read all the way through and enjoyed. The Shifters were realistic and their problems were not quite surmountable. I have a URL to follow up this story. Worth a read,

More of the reads weren't for me than those that were.

Being a romance author, regardless of the genre, whether it’s a sweet inspirational novel to a hot, steamy erotic, I can’t help loving to fantasize about being in the shoes of the female protagonist of the romance story I’m reading. This is why as a Book Reviewer from time to time I need a change of pace in the genre I reading/reviewing.
I’m currently in the process of writing three books, each in a different genre, with one of them being a YA [Young Adult] Urban Fantasy. So when I came across this collection of nine books in this genre, I couldn’t resist downloading it to get some much needed inspiration in writing my own story for this genre.
This collection is sure to please any aficionado of the YA Urban Fantasy genre. Each story contained in this collection is the first installment of the series the book is part of. In reading these stories you can meet up with your favorite type of character, from gods and werewolves to fairies and ghosts, etc; or travel to different world whether it be magically or through some sort of portal.
Having nine different authors gives anyone downloading this collection a smorgasbord in which they get a sampling of the individual writing style of each authors involved and what they’ve got to offer in the series they’re writing. The price for this collection should be an incentive to purchase it; especially when you consider the average price for a KINDLE book, and then multiply it by nine.
For having given readers an opportunity to get an idea of what each of the series these first installments have been taken from, before setting out to purchasing the entire series at full price; I’m giving this collection and its authors 5 STARS.

I reviewed each book separately on their own pages.
Overall this Collection was awesome. It has introduced me to some brilliant books and authors that I will definitely be following up.
The Collection is well though out and each book brings its own unique spin on urban fantasy. No two stories were alike.

Awesome bundle!!
I believe this is the first bundle where I read EVERY BOOK without hesitation! All of the books were intriguing and I found myself buying almost all of the series of each book as I went along... there are two where their sequels were not as good but the rest were superb! Glad I was able to find this bundle and enjoy each new, magical and mythical world 😍

Stealer, the first book in this anthology, was really good. The rest didn't interest me at all.

Okay
These books were good but it's true that they need some work
other than that they were not bad they were o.k.😐

I did not find this as good as other books, but it was good to read. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy.

This is a mixed bag of YA urban fantasy novels. All are the first in their respective series. Some are excellent ("The Portal and the Panther," "Crystal Magic," "Ghost Hand"). The others vary from "okay" to "total mess."

Fun to read some better then others but not a bad one in the lot. Scary, funny at moments and diffently keep you reading
