Usually I have mixed feelings about anthologies.  This one surpassed my expectations.  I loved each of the four stories presented.

1. MaryJanice Davidson "The Majicka" -- I absolutely loved the crazy cast of characters in this story.  As usual, we have a strong heroine that can't necessarily see her own worth.  In the end, everything works out great, but what a ride.  My only issue: Micah.  Maybe it was because he wasn't as "out there" as the rest of the characters.  But overall a good story.
2. Lori Handeland "Voodoo Moon" -- A suspected serial killer, a voodoo king, a skeptical FBI agent, and a mysterious secret government agency.  A great mystery story with twists and turns.  The sex scenes were a bit intense for my tastes, but good.
3. Cheyenne McCray "Breath of Magic" -- Probably the least favorite in this anthology, but still really good.  Obviously this story goes along with a larger saga.  McCray did a good job of giving enough information that I understood.  But I'm sure it would be better after reading more of the saga.  Good mythology and characters.
4. Christine Warren "Any Witch Way She Can" -- Interesting love spell story.  I definitely saw the ending coming, but it was still enjoyable.  Great little story.
