"An excellent paranormal anthology!"

I love a good anthology but this one has all of the elements that I just love to read about. As a matter of fact, after reading this particular anthology, I wanted to move immediately to Mysteria. It sounds like a fun town to not only live in but also to visit!

The first story is Mortal in Mysteria by Susan Grant. Harmony Faithfull is the new pastor in town. Everybody is friendly but nobody wants to come to her services. Then Demon...I mean Damon shows up. Can he help Harmony get her flock under control before her family comes to visit?

MaryJanice Davidson gives us the second story Alone Wolf about Cole Jones who is a werewolf raised by humans. He is sent to Mysteria to try to find out about his real family. There he buys a haunted house and meets the realtor Charlene Houtenan who seems a little enthusiastic about Cole to say the least but this is Mysteria...

In Gena Showalter's The Witches of Mysteria and the Dead Who Love Them we get Genevieve Tawdry's story. Genevieve is one of three witch sisters who has a thing for Hunter, owner of the local bar but every time she gets near Hunter, he runs away faster than a speeding bullet. What is up with that? What can Genevieve do about it?

P. C. Cast tells us the story of Candy Cox in Candy Cox and the Big Bag (Were) Wolf. Candace is the local high school teacher and is a mortal. She has many friends in Mysteria though and they don't hold her mortality against her. Her friend Godiva Tawdry (Genevieve's sister) tells Candy she really needs to find a werewolf. When Candy meets Justin Woods, not only is he a werewolf but he was one of her students in high school so he's younger that she is. There's no way she can be attracted to him or is there?

I had such fun reading this book. I really didn't want these stories to end. I loved the town of Mysteria and hope these authors see fit to visit the towns people of Mysteria again!

Summary

Hunky werewolves, delicious demons and, drop-dead sexy witches all have the same address...

Hundreds of years ago, in the mountains of Colorado (just close enough to Denver for great shoe shopping), the small town of Mysteria was "accidentally" founded by a random act of demonic kindness. Over time, it has become a veritable magnet for the supernatural—a place where magic has quietly coexisted with the mundane world.

It's a town like any other town, where the high school's Fighting Fairies give fans something to cheer about, where everyone knows your name—if not exactly what you are—at the local bar, and where the wishing well actually lives up to its name.

Strange occurrences happen every day, but now the ladies of Mysteria are about to unleash a tempest of seduction that will have tongues wagging for centuries to come...
