A djinni who is summoned by a young man has the power to grant any of his wishes; he simply has to believe her enough to ask.

Debbie Cassidy - Deadtown 
A pocket of crazy, a town hostage to magic, and a mysterious warlock boss equal a recipe for disaster.

Crystal Frost can see ghosts and predict the future, but when her friends pull out a Ouija board at their sleepover, it’s up to her to clean up their mess.

Jasmine Walt - Tested by Magic 
Shifter and bounty hunter Sunaya Baine would much rather chase after hardened criminals, but when a child goes missing in her magical city, she’ll stop at nothing to find her before she falls prey to the real things that go bump in the night. 

Thea Atkinson - Reaper’s Redemption 
A grim reaper’s next fare might be her last. 

Rebecca Hamilton - Leaves Like Magic 
A young witch joins forces with a shapeshifting ally in a race against the clock to save her best friend from vampires.






There are two reasons that I wanted to read this Anthology...One, I love YA Paranormal and you just can't beat a good YA Anthology. And two, it's free and who doesn't like free?....
