This was a really cute book. It is a collection of four short stories written by four different authors that are connected. The stories are set in Mysteria CO a town where vampires and werewolves live openly and every type of creature is welcome. It was pure fluff but it was good fluff. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a light read. It gets a 5 out of 5.

This book is really cute. It's like a paranormal desperate housewives.

Susan Grant's "Mortal in Mysteria" started out a little different and almost put me off. It did change tune quite quickly and turned out to be every girl's wish come true. Quite good for her first story.

MaryJanice Davidson's "Alone Wolf" was not that appealing. It was like it was tossed together quickly. I'm not sure if this will lead to her new book "Sleeping with Fishes" or not but it does have some of those elements in it.

Gena Showalter's "Witches of Mysteria and The Dead Who Love Them" is adorable. It's funny to see just what 3 sisters can get themselves into in a town of strange people. I liked this one considerably.

P.C. Cast's "Candy Cox and The Big Bad Werewolf" is another cute screwed up paranormal romance. This story had me chuckling.

All in all, I have to say you will enjoy this book. The first two stories are a little slower reading than the last two but they all tie in with each other. What a weird town. If you haven't heard of a demon or some other outlandish creature then just go to Mysteria!

Overall, a good collection of stories.
My favorite was the first one, "Mortal in Mysteria," by Susan Grant. It's a fully-realized story, and the main cast was kept to a reasonable size so that the characters could be well fleshed-out.
The second story in the collection, "Alone Wolf," by MaryJanice Davidson, was my least favorite. It appears that this is a short story that falls within a larger framework - i.e. it is part of a larger series or storyline, and thus relies on knowledge of that framework for the story to work. As this was the first thing I'd read by Davidson, the whole story kind of fell flat for me.
The remaining two stories ("The Witches of Mysteria and the Dead Who Love Them," by Gena Showalter and "Candy Cox and the Big Bad (Were)Wolf," by P.C. Cast) are somewhat intertwined, borrowing characters from one another. So, these should be read together. I enjoyed both of them, but I didn't find either of them to be spectacular.

I really enjoyed this book. The idea—a town created as a haven for supernatural beings by a demon who suddenly wants to do good, is a wonderful idea. All of the storied take place in Mysteria and are intermingled enough to keep them interesting. The first story tells the tale of Damon, the demon who created Mysteria and then was punished by Satan by being turned into a mortal man and being banished to Mysteria. All of the stories are romances with just a little bit of paranormal thrown in. My least favorite story was the one by MJD. It was very disjointed and a bit odd. But overall, all 4 stories were fun to read and I definitely look forward to more stories from Mysteria.

These are 4 really great stories all intertwined together. They are funny and sexy w/alot of antics & very different demons, vamps, fairies, etc. You will be laughing out loud. Hope these girls get together again soon for more.

All four stories are enjoyable and have solid story lines- that happen to include some romance.
I really enjoyed this book.

Overall I enjoyed this book.

Susan Grant: I really enjoyed this story and it was cute how Damon wanted to help out Harmony by bringing people to her church. It was funny when Harmony's family comes and the antics that go on when sitting down to dinner with unexpected guests ruining a nice dinner.

MaryJanice Davidson: I do not know what it is about this author, but NONE of her novellas/novels keep me interested. I found it hard to continue to keep reading as my mind tended to wander. Her characters (Char and Cole) were uninspiring and after the first real chapter, I was ready for the story to be finished.

Gena Showalter: I enjoyed this story. I enjoyed Glory's story better in "Mysteria Lane", but overall it was okay. I wanted to shake Evie for continually chasing after Hunter as I would have given up a long time ago.

P.C. Cast: I loved the whole older woman, younger, hot man. I thought Justin was perfect for Candy and I loved how he wanted to give up everything that he was for her. And he was satisfied with such a hot mama!

Good paranormal stories!

Short stories that were fun reads.

Loved the stories. Quick read.

I really enjoyed this book, all the stories were like a mixture of Janet Evanovich meets Charlaine Harris and met with Sue Grafton and had a party...the mixture of supernatural, romance, and humor was very pleasurable. Serious literature? No, of course not, just plain fun and guilty pleasure....absolutely. The book was fine, fun and provided excellent "bathroom" reading. I would definitely start reading some of these authors solo novels now, I had not heard of them before this. Collaborations don't always fit as well as these stories did.

I bought this book to read the Davidson story, but ended up really liking the other contributions, especially Susan Grants and started reading her books.

Overall, this was a decent book for some reading.

"Mortal in Myssteria" by Susan Grant was my least favorite. It started good but I felt the ending was rushed almost.

"Alone Wolf" by MaryJanice Davidson was almost a tie-in with her Wynham Werewolves series that I have enjoyed. I almost wanted more with the rest of the pack to help pick up the speed of those one. I realized after reading this and looking at the previous reviews that this almost may tye in with 'Sleeping with the Fishes" I have not read any of that series yet but I did decided to put it on my need to be read list.

"Witches of Mysteria" by Gena showalter's was interesting and tyed in with the next short read with PC Cast. I definately wanted more stories to read of the sisters. I hope there is more stories from them. I do believe these three have more to tell.

"Candy Cox and the Big Bad Werewolf" by PC Cast was almost linked wtih Gena Showalter's witches. I was glad to see the character's from the previous story make an appearance. It was nice easy read that gave a few laughs.

All in all, this was nice set that filled the time. I hope to see more of the Mysteria's population to see what happened to some of the character's lives.

i loved this book!

A fun light read. I really enjoyed this book.

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...

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

An excellent read.

Four stories that are unique, funny, mysterious and sexy.

Four cute short stories about the (strange) residents of Mysteria.

The cover sums it up - "Meet the women of Mysteria - and the creatures they fall more - in four all-new stories of paranormal passion".

I'm more of a strictly vampire or faerie novel person myself, so I wasn't too keen on this book. It is however right up the alley for anyone that enjoys a book with an eclectic mix of the paranormal and romance.

I thouroughly enjoyed this anthology.
