Wicked Realms is a dark paranormal romance collection which includes stories Liz Knox, Emera Rose, H.J. Marshall, Jen Talty, Kathryn C. Kelly, Joci Grace Morgan, Emily Sharp, Elena Gray, Cedar Rose, Heather Young-Nichols and Amelia Knight.
Fated by Blood: We are introduced to Rhea, daughter of Hades, in in this prequel to an upcoming trilogy. She is a couple hundred years old and has never left a small area of Tartarus on her Hades’ orders. This story is the beginning of an awakening for her as she finds out some things about herself and those around her. She has been extremely sheltered and that is already changing by the end of this story. Looking forward to this one—it appears it will be reverse harem.
Delilah: Another prequel. Lukas is a mage and soldier. Due to a mission he “encounters” Delilah. The mannequin at the base was a bit on the creepy side—I loved it. Delilah is so skilled, but so untrained. I like how Lukas and Mark handle her. They are awesome.
Werewolf in my Backyard: Shifter romance. Kara didn’t know she is a shifter until her mate presents himself to her. Very heated read. I love her grandma.
The Awakening: Lots of folks not actually knowing what they are in a supernatural world. I think the communicating with puppies is so cool. I really liked the draw between Trask and Hollie—talk about hotness. The last few pages are awesome.
The Brute’s Mate: This IASMH the first part of a story. Billie is leading an expedition when the group is transported to an alien place. Let us say that things do not go well for them after their arrival. Khik is the leader of a tribe in severe decline, but now has found his mate in Billie. Communication is definitely an issue.
Haunted by Shadows: Treachery abounds from a hidden coven, but it brings Eden and Cooper together beyond friendship. Good story, but the ending was abrupt,, which disappointed me.
A Wicked Hallow’s Eve: Maizy and her family must save her dragon mate from demons and go about it in interesting ways. I loved the banter, especially Dragon’s. I also Drake and his brothers together. When they find out about the babies coming, that is pretty funny.
Gods and Goddesses: Psyche finds out Greek mythology is real and her family is part of it. While this is going on, she falls for Lucias, who is also among the deities. I felt awful for her in her abandonment. Her family was pretty rotten to do to her what they did.
Fated Souls: Good story. I would be very interested in a longer version or a sequel. Grad student Haven finds out she is mostly not human. Enter angels, demons, reapers, and shapeshifters into her world. I would seriously love more Haven, Bael, and Maddox.
In these wicked realms, the only ones who can survive are the most powerful of them all. Whether it's by royal blood or magic, they're destined for greatness. This is a “dark” paranormal romance anthology so if that bothers you (as it does me if it’s too extreme), you may want to carry a flashlight as the authors transport you into the dark unknown. At a bare minimum, you will meet shifters, witches, vampires, angels, and demons.
There will be cliffhangers in some of the stories, which are there to entice you into the individual author’s other books. If you already like paranormal romance, are perhaps a first-timer curious to know what it’s like, or just want to see what new authors you can find in this collection, now is your chance! Grab your copy and enjoy! The variety provides something special for everyone, and you can pick and choose whatever entices you at the moment!
There’s a lot of variety to choose from in this anthology. Prequels to existing series, prequels to brand new series, new adventures in existing series, and even stand-alones. From silly to serious, on the sweet side to downright sinful, you name it and you’re likely to find it in between these covers. Some of the authors I’m familiar with and I loved getting the chance to see more in their worlds. Others are newer to me, but this won’t be the last time I read their work. All of these stories were just enough to whet my appetite and make me wish that they were even longer. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
Anthologies are always the perfect to reconnect with favourite authors and introduce yourself to similar authors and this is no exception a few of my favourites are in this anthology
The story I loved was "The Awakening" by Jen Talty Hollie really cares for the babies in her care and will do whatever she has to keeps them safe but what is the whisper in her mind that tells her she should hurt them, It will take the help of Trask a powerful wizard to get to the bottom of the problem. A part of the new dawn world that Jen writes in this is the perfect short story to introduce you to this world if you don't already love it
The Awakening: A New Dawn Short Story by Jen Talty Watcher Hollie Brooks looked after the four Ferguson wolfairy children for thirty years until all the threats written against them were eliminated. Now that the four are on their own, Hollie’s next assignment is to be nanny to Chaz and Daphne’s twins, Fin and Ivy. For the first time in her life, Hollie has stepped out of her bubble and into the world. The evil Princess Tara Moonglimmer will do everything she can to destroy the twins by controlling Hollie and now it is up to Warlock Trask Blue who lives at the farm to protect both the twins and Hollie.
Wicked Realms is a paranormal romance anthology of nine well written, short stories and prequels filled with unexpected twists, magic, intriguing characters, and storylines that held my attention from beginning to end. A few of my favorites from this collection are Fated By Blood by Liz Knox, Haunted By Shadows by Heather Young-Nichols, and Gods and Goddesses by Kathryn C. Kelly. I love reading anthologies like this one because I always find new to me authors to read and I get to read some of my favorites at the same time. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
The Wicked Realms anthology is a fun collection of paranormal stories that let you escape the world for a little bit.
One of my favorites was A Wicked Hallow's Eve, which follows Maizy and her attempt to save her dragon mate from demons. The writing was great and the characters were fun and adventurous. The entire story, while short, was packed full of action and fun.
God's and Goddesses was also a favorite of mine in the anthology since its based around Greek mythology and the authors writing is incredible.
First up Liz Knox I have read all her paranormal stories and I really have enjoyed them, but I really liked Rhea and Brenex connection however right at the juicy part cliffhanger now I'll have to wait till 2022 which I know it will be worth the wait. As for all the other fantastic authors in this collection I thank you and enjoyed your stories too.

A great book with some great stories by some of my favourite authors. I’m not normally a big fan of paranormal reads but I have to admit I enjoyed reading these stories and by the end I was quite hooked. I’m looking forward to reading more especially Fated by Blood by Liz Knox that left us with a cliffhanger.

Wicked Realms is a collection of quick and easy paranormal stories that introduced me to some new authors. Previously I was only familiar with Heather Young-Nicholas and Jen Talty. While I do enjoy more in-depth stories, I also like shorter ones that I can read in one or two sittings, and these stories satisfy that desire. It's a nice collection of stories covering a wide range of paranormal subjects that leave you ready for more.
This is an amazing collection of stories that will captivate you from beginning to end. This collection has it all witches, shifters, vampires and demons. This is a perfect read for any paranormal lover. Once I started this book I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining book. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I began reading expecting a normal anthology, some good short reads that were entertaing but were easy to put down.
This one was so different though, i kept waiting each night for a good place to stop reading. However each morning until I finished this anthology I finally woke up tired. This was a fantastic and entertaining read with so many enjoyable characters.
Lots of good stories to read. There are a number of authors in this anthology whose work I read regularly and a few that are relatively new to me. Overall a great collection. Give it a try and see if you find some new go-to authors to read. Most of these authors also write non-paranormal books and have really great series.
I love anthologies and this one was a good one. Full of all different stories, they were all entertaining to read. Some had magic and some paranormal creatures. Some made me laugh and some sigh but all were interesting and entertaining to read. Full of interesting characters either as prequels or their own stories.
A nice mix of different stories. Some end with cliff hangers, others too early. Personally, I didn't find all the stories interesting, but that's the good thing about these collections. You get to know new authors and new genres. Sometimes you like them and sometimes you don't. If you are new to paranormal reads this is a great starting point.
A great collaboration of authors who’ve given us a great anthology filled with stories that will without a doubt keep you entertained from start to finish. Thanks Liz for this great work.

This anthology is so good and has so many good stories. The one that stuck out the most is All Hallow’s Eve by Joci Grace Morgan. It’s about 3 witches finding their mates. I absolutely loved it and want more stories please?
Review for A wicked Hallows Eve By Joci Grace Morgan
Such a great short story, with action, lust, love and humor al wrapped up in a prtty package about dragons, fated mates and All Hallows Eve. Highly recommend
I was pleasantly hooked. Jen Talty had a way of captivating me with The Awakening. Storylines were great and the characters were amazing. They were fabulous and full of energy. Once I started I couldn’t put down. Well done.
These authors have given us a wonderful collection of stories that pull us into the lives of these men and women. Each story keeps you reading with lust/love, steam and danger.
I love the collection of paranormal stories. They bring another world to your mind and hold it in rapture until done. All the authors are great.
In reading A Wicked Hallow’s Eve, it helps connect the other stories together. The characters are feisty women. Who take no crap from anyone, not even their mates. Together they help rid the world of a danger that could bring the world in to chaos. Along the way they each find a love that is truly blessed by fate and Mother Nature.
I read The Awakening by Jen Talty, and it was such a fun read! This is a great paranormal world, and the concept of the story was very unique. I really adored Hollie and Trask. There was a lot of action/intrigue - especially for a shorter story! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Can't wait for more from this author!
