This book has a little something for everyone. With the only common thread being a tie to the magic of the natural elements, these authors had a really big playing field to work with, and play they did. As with any anthology, there were some stories that fit my mood better than others. However, I’m pleased to report that there wasn’t anything that I didn’t truly enjoy – sometimes a rarity with collections such as this. The ones that left me wanting a little more were a couple of stories that felt like they were leading up to something larger. I was distressed to see them come to an end before I got the answers I was seeking. Most of the authors that are part of this anthology are new to me, but I can see a lot of them getting more space in my library in the near future. After all, some of them have teased me with promises of the rest of the story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.

I was only familiar with a couple of the authors so this was a nice way to get a taste of writing styles for some new authors. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, a few of the stories seemed to be more prequels to a series so more of a teaser than a complete story. Others definitely left me feeling more satisfied and that I could see if they were part of a series, but even if I didn't read more, there was enough of a complete storyline to leave me content. Again, this is a nice way to try out some new authors for not a lot of money. Of the stories, the one by Heather Young-Nichols was my favorite. I have read and enjoyed many of her stories in the past.

I love a good anthology and that is what we get in this book. I loved every story that was written and I love how they all used the elements as the source of their story. The magic holding the key to everything was amazing.

If you love paranormal then you will love this anthology so go out and one click this bad boy and enjoy the roller coaster of a ride you are going to have!

This is a collection from thirteen authors themed around magic with elemental witches and warlocks. Dark paranormal tales, intrigue, suspense, and heat are incorporated into the stories. With the variety offered, all sorts of combinations, you should easily find some stories you can enjoy and be introduced to some new authors! That’s the beauty of an anthology where you can jump from story to story and pick and choose what draws your attention, all at a price that makes it worth trying something new!

Every since I read the series on elements by Rachael Caine I had been hooked on the elements. When I see this in the title then went for it, that is all it took. Another plus is it is a good line up of authors to fill your craving in this genre. You know what the elements are with not one missed in here. My favorite is fire it blazes with color so for sure the story blazed also. It also has suspense, intrigue and so much more. I was delighted with this one because it kept me in their worlds for awhile.

I do love a good anthology and this one is great! This collection includes paranormal stories from some amazing authors about elemental witches and warlocks. This is a great way to find some new to me authors and to read some of my favorite authors at the same time. Each short story is well written and filled with magic, mystery, intrigue, danger and so much more. A couple of my favorites are: Claiming His: By Liz Knox and Devious Witch: By Heather Young-Nichols I look forward to reading more books by the new to me authors in the future. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

This is a fabulous collection of paranormal tales. The tales are all wonderful and are full of witches and other paranormal elements. The characters are all wonderful and there was not a story that I did not like. There are twelve books in this collection so each story is on the shorter variety and there is a variety of stories. This is all just a wonderful entertaining collection.

I enjoyed this set, the stories were written well, the plots were strong, so wasn't the characters. The characters' journey may have had it's ups a and downs but they were fighters. The connection the couples had was strong, so wasn't their chemistry, they were good together.
I enjoyed this collection. Thank you to All the Authors. Good work :)

I have only read two or three of these authors before. Not a bad selection. At least two of stories seem like prequels to series.

[Phyllis Wolford · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great collection of paranormal stories. Each story is great on its own but together they hold you attention and draws you in to each one individually.
