Woo Woo: Paranormal Cozies
A GHOST, A VAMPIRE, AND A PSYCHIC WALK INTO A BOOK …
An exuberant anthology containing SIX top-rated cozy mysteries with an element of woo-woo-- paranormal thrills and chills and an almost…uncanny…set of loveable characters who’ll stay on your mind for weeks.
Plus a BONUS book--all now available in a box set for a SUPERNORMAL price!
Volume 1: THE AURA, a Kate Benedict Paranormal Mystery by Carrie Bedford.
Life spins out of control for London architect Kate Benedict when she sees a dancing aura above certain people’s heads that signals death. Suddenly she’s psychic. But that can't be! In her circle, the supernatural is strictly for the superstitious. And yet…people close to her are dying.
Vol. 2: LOVE BITES, “An engaging, sinister romp” by Adrienne Barbeau, author of the Vampyres of Hollywood series.
The sexy, tongue-in-cheek crime-solving duo of Detective Peter King and Ovsanna Moore is a charismatic alchemy of MOONLIGHTING and TRUE BLOOD. Ovsanna, the successful owner of her own Hollywood film studio and the star of 17 blockbuster horror films, is a 450-year-old vampyre.
Volume 3: LOVE AFTER DEATH, the THIRD book in The Jolie Blonde A Louisiana Trilogy by M.A. Harper.
Harper creates a unique and spooky a newlywed couple and the ghost of the woman’s handsome and much-missed husband. Definitely not your average paranormal romance. This is a funny, warm, feel-good tale with enough literary heft and humor to stick to the ribs.
Volume 4: BAD GIRL SCHOOL is teen author Red Q. Arthur’s debut novel.
One tiny slip-up lands the most accomplished teen burglar in California in a remote residential school for “gifted teens” where she quickly discovers a secret about herself—she's psychic. Reeno learns her dying sister’s disease is the result of an ancient Mayan curse, and to break it she must time travel to an ancient Mayan city and steal the one item Reeno’s mentor needs to save the world. Piece o’ cake.
Volume 5: THE DELPHI AGENDA is the FIRST Lisa Emmer Historical Thriller by Rob Swigart.
Papyrologist Lisa Emmer’s world flips when esteemed Paris historian Dr. Raimond Foix is murdered. Lisa finds clues at the crime scene to a secret kept hidden for centuries. These clues make her a prime suspect in the murder investigation, and also put her directly in the cross-hairs of a deadly commando group that proves to be none other than a contemporary offshoot of the Inquisition.
She discovers that the fugue states she experiences and has always thought were a liability may be an almost paranormal ability to see things in ways others cannot.
Volume 6: OTHER PEOPLE’S SKELETONS is the SIXTH book in Edgar-winner Julie Smith's Rebecca Schwartz series.
Secrets spill out of these pages like hornets out of a nest, each with its distinct sting, as author Smith weaves a thrill-packed and complicated San Francisco mystery that’s as much about how little we know about our nearest and dearest as it is about whodunit.

A different touch of magic
I found this book to be a collection of interesting, eclective, short stories. Each featured a bit of magic in different forms.

These are paranormal stories, not related to each other but giving a sample of different authors writing. I enjoyed all books and will be checking out more books by these authors. I like it if groups like this were stand alone which most are. Good read.

Not a collection of cozies!
So apparently whoever put this alleged cozy collection together doesn't know the meaning of the term. The first book I'd read before and skipped. Of the remainder, ONE was a cozy. I don't remember the genre on the first one clearly, but I'm sure I'd reviewed it when I read it.
The vampire book I absolutely hated. The one after that was horribly slow. The YA I'd probably have enjoyed, if I weren't expecting cozies. The thriller turned me off and I skipped ot after a couple chapters. I don't enjoy bad guy POV.
So if you want cozy mysteries, consider if the collection is cheap enough for just the Rebecca Schwartz one and maybe the first one. Otherwise only read if you want a variety of paranormal books.

This bills itself as a collection of paranormal cozies, but none of these books are cozies.

This book was well written: it kept me engaged. The setting, London, put you right there without over describing details. The author did not make it easy to figure out who or what was going to happen. I received this ebook free on freebooksy.com and was skeptical at first but I am returning for more. Check out this web site, it is a great way to discover more authors and genre you might enjoy.

DNF at 16%. I struggled to get through the first book. Struggled trying to read Adrianne Barbeau's book, and realized, I'm just not that into any of these. Neither of the two are cozies, and other reviewers say, only one might be...this is the second time I've tried to read something by Adrianne Barbeau, and hated it.
If you bill your books as cozies...they better be.

A good mix of books
A good mix of books in this set. I liked some of the books a lot more than a couple of the others. I especially liked Julie Smith's Other People's Skeletons and Red Q. Arthur's Bad Girl School. I enjoyed The Aura by Carrie Bedford. I would like to read follow up books of those three.

Good book
This is really a great book. I liked how the author linked all the characters together. I would recommend it to everyone.

This suffers from the same problem as a lot of "editions" suffer from. Some of the stories are good, and a lot of fun. The others are long, drawn out, boring and only loosely paranormal (Seriously, the last one. Just because it vaguely talked of aliens doesn't make it paranormal). It seems like the longest stories in the book are also the most boring.

the mixture of stories was good. Some moved at first a little slow for me but overall this was a good choice of books.

A cute collection
I really enjoyed all the books in this set a lot. Each was cute and quirky along with a great story lines. I wasn't disappointed at all.

Since it's short stories it is easy to pick and choose what to read.
This was a freebie; Im glad I did not have to pay for "non-cozy"stories.

Confused
I read the book, but I don't like the cussing. If they all have bad language in them I wrote another one

This was a very interesting series of books that I enjoyed reading. I only wish that I could have read them individually, instead of as a set, which only counts as one book.
