My thoughts - This book contained thirteen stories from various authors, most of whom I'd never heard of until I picked up this book. Honestly, it was the cover that drew me as I was wandering through the library. I enjoyed most of the stories, and thankfully, the weren't all about vampires! There was a great selection of other 'not of this world' characters and that's what I liked most about it.

The two stories I enjoyed the most were One for the Money by Jeaniene Frost and Pirate Dave's Haunted Amusement Park by Toni L.P. Kelner. Turns out the characters I fell in love with in Jeaniene Frost's offering are from, yes a series. That's always the way. I'll have to check into those when I get caught up on some of my other reading.

I'm giving this book a 3 - I liked all the stories, some more than others. If you need a break from you're regular reading and you like different kinds of paranormal give it a shot!
