I did really enjoy all 4 books in this set. All with a 3-4 star rating! I could have done without the 5th book of the short stories but all in all they were good. I'm just not much into short stories... I need more!!!

This boxed set is interesting because the only things uniting them are that A) they're written by the same 2 authors (each contributing 2 books), B) they follow the same mystic/paranormal themes (demons, shapeshifters & werewolves, fate?), and C) they have romance in them. I'm not too impressed by the grouping.

Anyway, I definitely enjoyed some of the books more than others; ranging from 1 stars to 4 stars, I really found this boxed set to be a mixed bag. As for each author, I found I enjoyed one of (each of) their books immensely, and could barely get through the other. Perhaps I am just being too pick or had my hopes up too high for this :(.

Still good, especially for free. I would say the good books outweighed the not so good ones...at least I'll keep telling myself that.

This is a book set compiled of different books not in the same series by two different authors.

First book Fierce Dawn by Amber Scott in this set was great, second book by Carolyn McCay was so far out there and I couldn't catch on to the storyline within the 1st 30 chapters out of 105 so I ended up completely skipping the second book now I'm onto the 3rd book Soul Search by Amber Scott so far it has my attention and I will probably finish it within the next few days. So far it is interesting

I wanted to give this set a chance but the 1st book (Fierce Dawn) was so poorly written with an unbelievable lack of creativity and repetitiveness of certain words that I just quit. It's left a sour taste in my mouth and I don't even want to read the others in this set. I realize there are 2 different authors and these are not part of a series but I'm declaring the others guilty by association. I'm about 99% sure I got this for free or maybe just $.99 which makes me feel relieved since I didn't waste much money. The good reviews on this have me baffled.

I had a hard time getting through most of these. I don't think these authors are my cup of tea.

Box set. I, like so many others, enjoyed some immensely, some not so much.

[Brittney Bower · Rating 1 out of 5]

one read one of the books but I really did not like it so i left it at that.
Didn't get past first page of second book before I had to put it away.

[Kayla Tackett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would definitely recommend these books.

Though there were some parts that could be improved I felt over all the storys agree unique and worth the read.
