lighthearted medium-paced

Houveram histórias boas, no entanto a maioria foi meh.
Nada de especial e não me deixou com vontade de ler mais dos autores.

A solid 4 stars! This is a cute anthology of short stories about paranormal romances. Some of the stories are okay; they basically boil down to “I love you you love me also I’m a supernatural creature” 
Others are so wonderfully written and charming that I rated them higher, individually. 

My favorite stories:
-A Thousand More (Chloe Gong)
-Katrine and Rowan’s Exit Interview (Sarah Gailey)
-BrideHeart (Marie Rutkowski)
-Piano Sonata  No. 13 (Kalynn Bayron)
-bloody, lovely (Casey McQuiston)

Much thanks to @PRHAudio for an complimentary audio copy of this fantastic queer YA fantasy anthology!! I'm not usually one for short stories or anthologies but this one had a GORGEOUS cover that I couldn't resist being drawn to. There is also a great group of authors and narrators. Some favorites included the stories by Casey McQuiston, Kat Cho and Chloe Gong. The story that captured me most was Bride-heart by Marie Rutkoski (a new to me author). This was an incredible Bluebeard retelling I was really sad to see end! The variety and diversity in this collection was wonderful to see, from vampires to witches to mermaids and a host of other fantastical creatures, not to mention a host of queer characters (gay, trans, demisexual, etc) and characters of color too. 10/10 would recommend this, especially on audio!

astravars_thrubooks's review against another edition

I don't think i ever read an anthology, mostly because i don't think i can get invested in so few pages but consider me corrected thanks to the two most notable shorts : Bride-heart and La Bruja y la Sirena. I loved both the writing style and the imaginative way it unfurled <3 special mention to Bloody, Lovely for the same reasons but it just didn't hit as hard as the other two.

Rating goes :
undead ghoul meet cute ----- 3 (fun and funny)
a thousand more ----- 2 (left me wanting)
who will save me ----- 2 (bland)
in the eyes of angels ------ dnf (teens with immortals? no thanks)
my demon prince charming ----- dnf (again pass on the whole 18 yo with centuries old creatures)
Katrine and Rowan's exit interview ----- 3 (entertaining)
bride-heart ----- 4 (creepy and interesting page turner)
if you give an asura a cookie ----- 3
kiss the boy ----- 3 (cute but a little insta-lovey)
piano sonata n°13 ----- 3 (villains deserve love)
once upon a time in charleston ----- 1 (honestly what was the point?)
pierce my soul ----- 2 (beh bland and rushed and twilight-y)
banes and blessings ----- dnf
bloody, lovely ----- 3.5
la bruja y la sirena ----- 4 (now that was some immersive writing)
