November 28, 2016I've pulled together a novel from each of my paranormal series for this set--The Calling from the Immortals; Nightwalker from Stormwalker; and Hard Mated from Shifters Unbound. These are full-length books (though Hard Mated is a bit shorter--about 50,000 words).
I hope you enjoy this introduction into my paranormal worlds!

Lectura muy recomendable, sobre todo si te gusta el estilo de Jennifer Ashley, como es mi caso. Aunque prefiero mucho más las otras series de los Mackenzies y el capitán Lacey, se nota la magistral forma de escribir de la autora, que te engancha desde el principio.

I thought most of the stories in this collection were pretty good. My favorite was Hard Mated.

A Trip Down Memory Lane.
3 Books in 1.
Hard Mated: Reviewed Separately.
Night Walker: Unread as yet.
Immortals, The Calling: A Re-read.
The Calling Bk1 from the Immortals series by Jennifer Ashley.
I read this story almost 10 years ago & a re-read reminded me why I added her to my must read list.
For paranormal lover's everywhere, this story offers something for everyone.
An Immortal warrior, a Dragon, Vampire's, Werewolve's, Witches, Demons, Life Magic, Death Magic, a Rouge Immortal & so much more.
From the 1st page to the last it once again captivated my attention & never let go.
Fast paced, action packed, well written, at time's sizzling sensuality, heart stopping angst that make you want to cry out in horror & through it all a growing romance.
I will definitely be re-reading the rest of the Immortals series, (which I'm happily have) & would recommend this to everyone.
An absolutely worthy read.

Sometimes its when you get a book that gives you insight to different series from an author so you know what appeals to you before you buy more.
This is one of those books. We have the first book in three separate series. I found they all had something different to offer and each was enjoyable but the Immortal Series is something I know I can sink my teeth into so at this time that's the one I'm going to continue with.
If you want to see what kind of stories this author has to share, I think you'll like your choices and who knows you might even continue with one that captures your attention.

Trio
This boxed set contains three great books from three separate series. The first, Hard Mated, is one of my favorites from the series. I'd read it before, but it was still fresh. The second is from the Stormwalker series, and was a first time read for me. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the other two books. The third is the first book in the Immortals series and it was good enough to send me on to books two and three, available in the KU library. I have enjoyed the classic fight of good vs evil and am looking forward to book four.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed all three of the books in this set. Each was an intro into a different series. I read the first as an individual book and when I checked for other books by the author, discovered that I had this set. The second book was my favorite, as it dealt with native people of the southwest and their mythologies. The third book involved a present world with supernaturals and ancient immortals. I found the characters of all three books to be well developed and enjoyable to read about their experiences.

A terrific intro to Ms. Ashley's work. Hard Mated was the first of her books I read (years ago) and I fell in love with the Shifters Unbound series. Although is book four of the Stormwalker series, I enjoyed it and look forward to continuing. The final book, The Calling, is the first in a multi-author series that is a fast, page turning ride that I will definitely be reading more of. All in all, a wonderful box set. Enjoy!

Great book
I love stories about the stories, paranormal and these three were really good. I absolutely loved the stories, the characters and the happy ending for the first two. The last is an excerpt so don't let that surprise you. It gives you a good idea what to expect from that series. I have read them and can attest they are really good.

Good read made passable.
This started as a good book, but the writer didn't seem to know when to end it. Now it has become a deleted book from my library. 2 stars: 1 for the price (free) and 1 bc it did hold my attention for a few days.
Know when to end a story: a course for writers & editors.

Mixed feelings. Jennifer Ashley writes a good short story. Will have to see if she has done anything a bit longer because these could have had more character depth if they were a bit longer and could have gone beyond the drama to a full story complete with more character development and plot. If you like a lot of action in a short amount of time-- this is a goodread! :)

Great introduction to some of her series....
I am a big fan of this author's work. The Shifters Bound series is addicting and I have all the books. I'm fairly new to her Stormwalker series, but I really like it. The Calling of the Immortals series is definitely worth the read. Overall this is a great starter pack.

Wonderful.
Three different books to give you a glimpse into three different series.
I admit I started this trilogy ages ago, then it got lost in my kindle lol.
Finally restarted it and so glad I did.
Loved that it wasn't, for a change, three of the same series, but there different ones.
Gives me three new series to start 😉👍

3 Great Stories
I enjoy the Shifters Unbound series but was unaware about the other paranormal romance series. This was a great sample of the other 2 and I can't wait to continue reading them.

Three stories in this collection.
Hard mated
I read this one previously. Fun story about a shifter and human.
Nightwalker
This was like jumping into a story in progress. Lots of magic and adventure.
The calling
A witch and demigod join forces. Too long for me.
Typos: see notes.

I just finished reading three excellent stories! I want to finish reading the Immortal series and the Stormwalker series. The shifter series is excellent but not one I want to pursue. The books kept me interested and I actually read two other of the Stormwalker series. I do recommend this book.

Holds your intention
I chose this rating because this book holds your intention. And draws you to the next book in series. I disliked its longines. I recommend it to all lovers of supernatural 😊

Book 1: Hard Mated - this was early in the series. I must have read it before but dont remember. Spike's story about his one night stand ends with a surprise years later.. On the womans deathbed she reveals he has a son. Her best friend Myka is skeptical that he would be a good father so she keeps tabs on him. then she gets in the middle of shifter political dynamics. Then she gets involved with Spike.
Book 2: did not read
Book 3: did not read

Wanting
Just because they wanted something bad enough. Doesn't mean it comes without a cost. To them it's worth the price. To be finally happy.
