The characterizations were phenomenal as always, but the plot dragged and was overall boring. While I do recommend this story, I think this is the first time I'll reluctantly recommend a Megan Derr story.

I really enjoyed this story. The world building and characterizations were very well done and incredibly engaging. I could have used a few more questions answered by the end of the story, but it really only made me anticipate the next book in this series even more. I definitely recommend this book.

The characterizations in this story were extremely well written. I loved how the depth of the characters allowed for the romance to really blossom. However, the author neglected to remind the reader of what happened to Penli in book one of this series. While I do recommend this book, I suggest you reread book one first so you won't be confused.

While this story had potential in the world building, the descriptions, plot, and romance were confusing and almost non-existent. I therefore cannot recommend this story.

Overall I found this to be cute and sweet with just enough depth and characterizations to satisfy. That said, the conflicts in this story were consistently disappointing, so while I recommend this story, I still wish there was more substance there to actually recommend.

I really enjoyed the original short story this was expanded from and I have to say this expansion was even better. It gave new insight to the characters and provided added depth to the plot and world building. Overall, the story could have used some more expanding to fully realize the potential in the original short, but I definitely recommend this story and am secretly hoping for a sequel.

I am definitely enjoying reading this series and that is why I recommend every book, including this one. I liked the characterizations and the romantic plot was well written, however the dramatic, magic-oriented plot was left unsolved, which left the book feeling unfinished.

I really liked the characterizations in this story, which were in depth and descriptive. I also liked the world building, although the transitions between scenes at different locations could have used a bit more time. Overall I did enjoy reading this story and I do recommend it.

The reprint appears to be completely unchanged from the original, which is good because I did enjoy the original story, but is also bad because none of the issues were solved. I still liked the overall plot and the characterizations of this story, so I do recommend it anyway.

This story lacked depth that would have provided a better foundation for the author to build the plot, the characterization, and even the world building. Because of that lack, the story never quite came together and that is why I can't recommend it.

This book was entirely comprised of telling rather than showing, completely lacked needed descriptions in every aspect of the story, and was therefore almost completely unreadable. I do not recommend it at all.

The dubious consent in this story was actually explained fairly well, so it didn't bother me as much as it ordinarily would have, but the lack of detail everywhere else in the story did bother me. That is why I can't recommend this book.

I really liked the premise of cat people from Atlantis having to interact in the modern world, but nothing in the book was fully realized. Leaving out that last bit of necessary depth made this book frustrating to read and that is why I do not recommend it.

I really enjoyed reading this story. In particular, I liked Clayton's characterization and the balance he had with everything going on around him. I do wish the world building had overall been bigger, but it was just enough for this book. I definitely recommend this story.

I know sometimes readers don't want to pick up a short story in a series until after they've already fallen in love with the rest of the series, but this story is different. A, it's essential to understand what's happening in book one. B, it's just that good a story. That is why I recommend it and the rest of the series.

I recommend this book and the entire series. This book had a really interesting plot and I enjoyed the building romance between Anna and Charles, however I found the ending to be a bit predictable. You do need to have read all the prequels to fully understand this book, but it's still a good read regardless.

The story was well written and sweet, but I've read it before and I found those versions to be more interesting. This story didn't bring anything new to the holiday genre, the romance lacked depth, and the magic was disappointing. I therefore cannot recommend this story.

I'm honestly not sure whether I recommend this story. The use of tarot cards as the magical device in the story was very interesting, but the story itself was predictable and dragged a bit. I guess since I didn't immediately jump to pick up the sequel, I will say that I do not recommend this story.

I'm not going to lie, I don't recommend this anthology. Overall the stories were weak, not well plotted, and lacked in depth. However, all proceeds from the anthology go to a good cause, so even if you're not getting good a quality story for your money, it's still worth it.
