Being a romance author, regardless of the genre, whether it’s a sweet inspirational novel to a hot, steamy erotic, I can’t help loving to fantasize about being in the shoes of the female protagonist of the romance story I’m reading. This is why as a Book Reviewer from time to time I need a change of pace in the genre I reading/reviewing.

I’m currently in the process of writing three books, each in a different genre, with one of them being a YA [Young Adult] Urban Fantasy. So when I came across this collection of nine books in this genre, I couldn’t resist downloading it to get some much needed inspiration in writing my own story for this genre.

This collection is sure to please any aficionado of the YA Urban Fantasy genre. Each story contained in this collection is the first installment of the series the book is part of. In reading these stories you can meet up with your favorite type of character, from gods and werewolves to fairies and ghosts, etc; or travel to different world whether it be magically or through some sort of portal.

Having nine different authors gives anyone downloading this collection a smorgasbord in which they get a sampling of the individual writing style of each authors involved and what they’ve got to offer in the series they’re writing. The price for this collection should be an incentive to purchase it; especially when you consider the average price for a KINDLE book, and then multiply it by nine.

For having given readers an opportunity to get an idea of what each of the series these first installments have been taken from, before setting out to purchasing the entire series at full price; I’m giving this collection and its authors 5 STARS. ( )
