Definitely a collection worth reading if you love Urban Fantasy and Paranormal stories. The heroines in this series aren't your normal whiny heroines, waiting for someone to assist them. They kick serious a** all on there own. I admit, some of the stories I had to skim past because they aren't a story I can get in, it has nothing to do with the writing or anything like that, just the topic. I like the fact that most had a preface, so I could skip the ones I didn't want to read and settle in with

Jan.6th, 2018 - I purchased this boxed set solely to read Melanie Karsak’s “Wolves and Daggers” story and as always was pleasantly surprised with how well the author has written this wonderful steampunk Red Cape Society story. I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. I would give this story 4.5 stars.
It's hard for me to even decide where to begin discussing the issues with this box set. First, by far the biggest issue was the overall lack of editing. There were some stories that were so poorly edited, they were virtually unreadable. Others were simply poorly written overall. I actually had to skip 4 stories in the book because they were just not what I'd consider of suitable quality to include in a set that is a supposed to be a bestseller.

This is an amazing collection of stories! I thoroughly enjoyed them, especially Gina Watson's. You can tell she took a lot of time researching sword fighting to be able to pull off the vivid details. These are all well worth the read. The only.complaint I have are the multiple spelling errors I came across while reading these stories. They were simple and should have been caught by the editor (s).

These are not all full length books - some are barely a short story. Several authors noted that the publish date was pushed up and they didn't get the story finished, or substituted a different story.

Half an anthology
The stories were good. At least, what I saw of them. More than half were incomplete. Due to "time restraints". Many of the incomplete ones offered links to get the rest of the manuscript. More than half of which did not work.
I don't know why they couldn't postpone publication until the book was actually ready, but they should have. ...more

This is a great new set! I will admit I haven’t read every story in the set, but I read most of the ones by authors I know: Margo Bond Collins/Erin Hayes, Monica Corwin, Heather Marie Adkins, and Jade Kerrion. I read a couple of new authors: Ash Krafton and Melle Amade. I really, really enjoyed every one. There was great writing and great action. And, I was captivated with each one. One wasn’t complete, but there was a form to fill out to get the complete book, and I can’t wait to read the rest.

I usually buy these sort of anthologies if they have two or three stories by authors I trust. Heroines & Hellions clobbers that requirement into tiny pieces. All of its 22 stories are full of the sort of kick-a** heroines I adore, and among those are six contributions from authors who are more than simply trusted; they’re masters of the craft who have consistently put out stories that wind up in my list of faves. These are Margo Bond Collins & Erin Hayes (“Chains of Iron and Silver”, a new Blais

ok yes I read a whole lot but even I haven't finished all of the books in this set. Although I do have to admit a few of them mention they are offering an additional book if you contact them for one reason or another. Any way I have read a few of the books because I love the artist and couldn't wait and overall I am in love with this set. The merging of the minds of Margo Bond Collin and Erin Hayes which starts off the box set, which by the way was a wonderful story. I do hope we get more of the

"22 Exclusive, Full-length Urban Fantasy and Fantasy Novels"? Well, not really. There was a disturbingly high percentage of "Due to schedule changes I didn't have time to finish the complete story, so here's a link to request the rest when it's done" and "This isn't the story I intended to include here, but because of production schedule changes I had to substitute it with this one". I don't know what caused these schedule changes, but I think both the authors and the readers would have been bet

I've purchased this book because one of my favorite author has the beginning of a new series. I'll read anything by L.J. Andrews. Her new adventure is "Ashes of Retribution". Ms. Andrews has created a new world that has two distinct classes of people ( pure and impure).The least imperfections and you were no longer PURE. Our protagonists is a young girl who has burned her hand during an attack by Dominus and the shadow assassins. She should have been kicked out of high society except that her fa

Cassidy Irons and fairy-prince Drake are attacked by werewolves and he is kidnapped. So he find she has to reach out to her cousin Blaize Silver to help rescue him. Can they get past their shared past traumas and work together to rescue him before it is too late?

As always in short novella collections all stories are not of equal quality. one of the standouts: Melanie Karsak. She is populating a fascinating Steampunk world; featuring Airships, and all kinds of mythical creatures.
Chains of Iron & Silver by Margo and Erin
So good, fast paced and action packed. Your get super snarky heroins who know what they want and what they are good at! I couldn’t put it down and finished it all too fast! I want more and cannot wait for what’s to come.
