Lighthouse Five: I really liked that! I enjoyed the development of The People's culture and ways of life.

Holy Water: Another sad but beautiful story.

To The Sea: Really lovely and haunting

Vampire Hours: I didn't appreciate the return to reading about vampires who ignore consent. Also, super paternalistic about mental health, which is a big "no" for me.

Unraveled: Interesting magic going on in this one

Dressed in Wolf Skin: Enjoyed that one a lot!

Seaside Escape: Ick, the set-up for that story was seriously disturbing, and not in a good way. Everything about the deal with the selkies and the witches was really gross, there was insta-lust but no real connection between the main characters, and the writing needed another edit or two.

"Dead Letter" was cute and sweet, although I ended up feeling kind of meh about it and I'm not totally sure why.

Reflecting a bit more on the first story, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I enjoyed reading it, but... dunno. Not sure if it worked, in the end.

"Green Love": a bit eerie, a bit erotic. I liked the story, but it did creep me out.
