I'll be honest and say that I picked this one up solely because of Rebecca Zanetti's Scorpius Rising, but found that all of the novellas in this anthology were nice little slices of the series they come from. 
 Alexandra Ivy: On the Hunt 
 This one took me a little bit to get into but I really liked Mika and found it to be a nice mix of action and romance and though I've not read the previous books in the series found it to be easy to follow without feeling lost. 
 Rebecca Zanetti: Scorpius Rising 
 This novella was the reason I wanted to get my hands on this anthology. It is the prequel to her new series that is coming out next year and I'm loving the set up. There is A LOT going on. We have a pandemic caused by bacteria from a meteor that may or may not kill a person and may or may not change them into raging psychopaths? That's a lot to take in but Ms. Zanetti makes it work. Deacan is intense and sexy and Nora has sass. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the first book because there are certain characters whose fates I NEED to know about. 
 Phantom Embrace by Dianne Duvall 
 Dianne Duvall is an author that's popped up on my news feeds and recommendation lists from time to time but never take the plunge into her worlds, but after reading this one I'll be adding her to my TBR. The premise of the series is interesting, the writing is engaging and I liked how the H/h story played out, though I was surprised by the end result. 
 >b>Stake Out by Hannah Jayne 
 Hannah Jayne is a brand new author to me and though this one wasn't my favorite of the group, it had a quirky and fun vibe that the others didn't, so that alone made it stand out. While I was iffy about Nina, I liked Pike and even Vlad. 
 The Bottom Line: This was a fun read and has a little something for everyone in it.
