I was given the chance to read a story from this boxset and judging by how good this story was I can only imagine how good these other stories were as well.
My story is about Within Me by Dani Rene' this is a different genre from what she normally writes but wow did she nail it.
This is about Talia who has a power that she is finding out about from Kade her boss which for some reason feel's like she's known him for a long time when she knows that's not the case, but Kade knows something about Talia's past that involves them, but if he tell's her what her future holds will she be able to make the changes she'll have to make or not?
This is definitely a must read story.

Regarding ...
- See No Evil by Yumoyori Wilson and Elle Cross
Loved it. Wilson and Cross writing together created an awesome story that I will definitely be revisiting later in the future.

When I saw the names Everly Frost and Char Webster and Jen L Grey that sealed the deal.
Assassin's Menace by Everly Frost is a great side story to the Assassin's series. I really love Cain and Grace and hope that their story will be continued alongside Hunter's and Slade's because I started crying at the ending.
Stolen Magic Part 2 by Char Webster is just awesome I really love Aria and Damian. After finding bodies that are drained of life force and magic in New Orleans Aria Damien Jules Markos (Aria's Brother) are on the case to find out if Pravus is still out there because of the signature found at the scene. but the real culprit is someone shocking. I really enjoyed reading the rewritten story of Aria and Damien. on to more books
Jen L Grey and Nicole Kelly's Natural Magic was really good. I was hooked from the very first sentence and wasn't let go. Sage was chosen to be the new Priestess of her Coven and when someone bad comes wanting her for her power she flees and finds her destiny.
Stolen By Darkness by Samantha Britt is just awesome. Serafina is a girl who can see Pixies Fae and other creatures that walk with us. A night out turns chaotic when she gets memory wiped and taken to the realm of the Fae for a tournament, I really love the set of characters a lot Camden is great his sentry is awesome and Jordan is cool and the Unseelie King is just Stunning, and told that only finding an certain object can save the Realm.

This review is for Stolen by Darkness by Samantha Britt.
I have been eagerly awaiting Stolen by Darkness, ever since I read the prequel, Running from Darkness. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It’s kind of like a mix of The Hunger Games and Throne of Glass, but at the same time, it’s its own story. I loved it! Sera is going about her daily life; she’s in college to become a nurse and she just met a cute boy that seems to be interested in her. The only abnormal thing is that she can see monsters - creatures that other humans can’t. In fact her best friend is a pixie! So really it’s normal to her that she can see non-humans. Then she is taken by 3 Fae males into the Fae realm and she’s forced to train for a contest, one that no one will give her any info about. At least she’s made a good friend in one of the contestants, Jordan. That partly makes up for the strange interest the Seelie Fae Prince Camden, and the Unseelie Fae King Sebastian have in her.
Sera is such a strong and wonderful character! She may not be the most athletic, or the most skilled in training, but she refuses to give up. I really really liked her. I also loved Jordan! She’s such a good friend to Sera when she had no real reason to befriend her and she’s pretty badass I must say. I like how strong the friendship between the girls was and how they would do anything for each other. I’m intrigued by Prince Camden and King Sebastian as well. I’m curious where the romance will lead! This book was exciting and well written! I got into it right away and I didn’t want to put it down! I highly recommend this book to anyone that’s into Fae, fantasy and paranormal romance!
I received and ARC from the author and I’m voluntarily writing an honest review.

Shadows and Sorcery: A Collection of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance Novels is a collaboration between some very talented authors; this particular review is for Elemental Fae Academy by Lexi C. Foss and J.R. Thorn.
Oh My, this was just so Fabulous!!!
Really wasn't sure if this was going to be my thing especially since reverse-harem is a bit hit and miss for me well this for me was a sure hit.
I absolutely bloody adored this, these authors have smashed it out the park with there contribution to this Paranormal collection and I for one can't wait for the next piece of this addictive and magical tale.
This story involves Clare a halfling who has no idea of her origins, raised on earth as a mortal by her paternal grandparents her powers kickstart on the eve of her 21st birthday.
Whisked off to the Fae realm by the delectable but oh so arrogant Exos a powerful Royal Spirit Fae who has been assigned as her protector.
Add into the mix Titus a Fire Fae who Clare also feels an instant connection to and we have some definite fireworks.
So this really hooked my attention and I am so looking forward to experiencing more of this fascinating world in the near future.
An imaginative undertaking that was extremely well written as well as being hot as Hades.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Elemental Fae Academy Part 1.

Can't go wrong with a boxed set, fave authors and new ones to discover. I love a good paranormal tale. I'm basing my review on the one I've read so far.
Cauldron of Ash by Jenna Lee
This one I really enjoyed, female is sentenced to a boarding school for an accidental witch spell that killed someone. Her new friends are a little odd, in fact the place is odd. She has a mystery surrounding her that vampires want. I can't say I liked the ending though, too many unanswered questions for me. Here's hoping for more, meanwhile onto the next story.

Grace Kennedy, or at least that’s the name she goes by now, is a book lover and has a hidden secret. When she stops an assassination attempt and meets the infamous Cain Carter, she won’t be able to hide her secrets for long.
Assassin’s Menace Everly Frost, is a companion and standalone story to the Assassin’s Magic series. The story fits in between books 2 and 3. Highly recommend this action packed addition to the series.

I bought this book solely for 'Elemental Fae Academy' by J.R. Thorn and Lexi C. Foss, and that's the book my review is based on.
In ‘Elemental Fae Academy: Book One’, Claire is ripped from her human world—the only one she knows—and thrown into a world where fae and magic are very real. This book does an excellent job of finding balance between her disbelief and culture shock and her eventual acceptance that this new world is indeed real.
As it happens, it’s also slow-burn on the ‘steam’ side of things. While the groundwork is laid perfectly for multiple attractions, and there is some insta-attraction and insta-feels, it plays out at a very comfortable pace that doesn’t make it feel like insta-love. It just fits perfectly for the elemental fae culture, which the authors depict perfectly. If you’re not sure how you feel about reverse harem, or don’t get the ‘why choose’ concept, this book and part of Claire’s plight is a great place to start.
Character development is advanced. Characters’ individual voices are strong and consistent and you get to know the different personalities and backgrounds easily as this is so well woven into this novel and everything else going on.
Despite this taking place in a non-human realm, it’s still highly relatable. The Elemental Fae Academy is complete with cliques and mean girls, for example, and while the culture is different the interpersonal interaction is basically what you might expect from such an environment.
The steamy scenes are like no others I’ve read, as the authors manage to work the elements in, making it not just hot, but also intriguing.
The world-building here is perfect. I’m not new to J.R. Thorn, I’m actually a huge fan. But I hadn’t gotten around to reading Lexi C. Foss yet. This book definitely made me realize it’s time to prioritize reading more Foss, as there’s no way either author involved here is capable of producing anything less than awesome. As a reader, I feel extremely lucky that the two have joined forces.
Note:
I listened to this book and the narrator is amazing! Most audiobooks annoy me and I rarely finish them. This one, I never wanted to turn off.
5 addicted stars.
