    I would love to see this as a coffee table book with illustrations. The stories are so beautifully written, each pulling at a different heart string! But illustrated, and in a beautiful large coffee table book - that I would happily display in my home!!

    This was my first series of short stories and I really enjoyed them. I loved that there were so many romantasy stories with so many different writing styles.

    The styles were very different, which I actually enjoyed, it kept things interesting. Some stories felt more emotional, some more magical, and a few had a darker or more spicy tone. I liked how each author brought their own vibe.

    ...my favourites were Soulbound by Starr Z Davies and The Dragon and the Songbird by Cat Devlin. There's something for everyone - love, sadness, action, adventure and spice. The playlist for each story was such a good touch!

    A darkly beautiful fairytale retelling with unexpected twists and turns that made me love that much more. If you think you know how it will end, you don't! I can't wait to read more from Cat Devlin. Her brand of dark fantasy romance is exactly what I love!
