Hexed : Short story Collection

     This anthology consists of four novellas. a novella is a story that is much shorter than a novel, 50,000 words is considered novel length. But is longer than a short story and usually has chapters.
     This collection had three authors I am familiar with and follow their series. Since this has only four tales in it, I'll briefly introduce them.
     This is the first collection that I think I enjoyed all the stories in, at least when it comes to multiple authors. I do also read collection of stories from authors I love.
     This collection has a theme of supernatural women, who deal with magic in some form or another.
     The first story is by Ilona Andrews. The tale "Magic Dreams" follows a minor character from The Kate Daniels Series. Dali is were-tiger and she must confront a vengeful creature or lose the man she has secretly loved forever. If you don't read the series but interested in trying it. The first book is Magic Bites.
     The second tale is by Yasmine Galenorn. The tale " Ice Shards " takes place in the Sisters of the Moon or Otherworld series. The tale follows Iris, a house sprite, who is much more than she appears to be, and her journey to confront the past and the monster she created. The first book in this series is Witchling.
     The third tale is " Double Hexed " by Allison James. I am not familiar with her work but the novella sparked my interest and I have the first book in the Storm Walker series to my want to read list. The first book is Storm Walker. This tale follows Janet, a half Navajo and half demon goddess as she deals with a double hex placed on her hotel, and protecting those she cares about.
     The fourth tale is "Blood Debt" by Jeanne C. Stein. This tale takes place in the Anna Strong Series. IF you keep up with the series, there's a change in boyfriends but the story of their meeting is hinted at and nothing more. This tale fill in the blanks of how Anna, a vampire and bounty hunter meets Stephen Powers, the reporter. Interested in checking out the series. The first book is The Becoming.
