This work is really your standard ghost story collection. Like most standard ghost story collections the majority of stories are cliche and badly written. There are sparks of interest within the book and one or two stories I thought were particularly well rendered. For free it was a nice book.
I would recommend the work for someone looking for a fluff read or possibly as an add on to a camping trip for a younger more impressionable audience. The stories are a nice change of pace from bloody mary and other traditional ghost tales.

There was very little to distinguish the stories from each other most picking up right at the final line of the previous one causing confusion.
There were a few decent stories in this collection but on the whole it could have been done much better

If you enjoy paranormal romance you will enjoy this book. The characters are well written and exotic. The book gives a the reader a view of what unchecked power can do to a group of beings.

Melanie¿s Goblins were not content with seeing Detroit City in ruins¿they have moved on to bigger fish to fry ¿ so to speak. They want to blow up a nuclear power plant in the mountains outside Sin City a.k.a. Las Vegas, with the intent of not just controlling the town that never closes, but ALL of California. They figure the radiation will make the sunshine state off limits for humans ¿ but hey, Goblins never minded a little toxic waste to breathe or eat. Cyra Delphin is of Selkie Blood, but poor lass, has long denied this, because her parents felt the need to hide her true nature. Not only is she part Selkie, she is part Kloka - very powerful Moon Fey - only she has no idea of the magick that resides in her. What she does know her life is out of control. Well, not OUT of control, but not under Her control. For so long, others aware of her true heritage have manipulated her, and she is terrified to learn the Goblins are behind it. Her fiancé steals her work, claims it as his own, but is shocked she dares complain. Nor does her ¿Goblin-loving¿ fiancé see why she should be so upset they are backing his¿um, her work¿as cause for concern. As she stands up for truth and tries to alert people to the Goblin involvement, her life spirals into chaos. People wish to buck the Goblins control try to use her as a figurehead to spur rebellion, but the Goblins counter by pushing her precariously toward a nervous breakdown. When her ex-fiancé gets married, she ruins the receptions by pushing him into the ice sculpture - all in a bit of payback! Outside, a strange person hands her a calling card. It is from a member of H.U.G. They warn her to leave her home in the middle of the night, without packing, without telling anyone and go deep into the desert. So, Cyra finds herself driving 100 miles from everywhere, in a car that barely should be trusted around the block, let along on this trek where there are no roads and even Jean Luc Piccard would not boldly go. Already having second thoughts about H.U.G. ¿ Humans Under Ground ¿ their purposes and what they want with her, she is totally unprepared for the man she nearly runs down. He appears from nowhere, nearly half-dead ¿ more to the point, she is very unprepared to discover that Thomas Marrowbone is part dragon! Thomas quickly discovered Cyra is the very special combination of fey ¿ and the Goblins will be after her soon, so he takes her to Jack Frost and his wife Io. After the destruction of Detroit and Io leaving HUGS, they are leading the fey into banning together to fight their own battles. Cyra quickly falls for Thomas ¿ and the dragon ¿ and that love will cause her to follow Thomas after he leaves her with Jack and Io. Thomas lost his wife to the Goblins, watched her tortured and killed before his eyes. As such, he has no intention of taking Cyra with him into Sin City, where you must face down the Goblin menace and put an end to their plans. Cyra knows she is stronger than Thomas¿ wife was, knows she can come to terms with the magick residing inside her. She comprehends unless she follows Thomas into the dangerous city and becomes the warrior mate he needs Thomas will die. Melanie once again destroys another Yank town in fine fun and great imagination. A great follow up to Traveler, and leaves us hungry from the coming The Courier. Melanie¿s Goblins with get you if you don¿t watch out ¿ but then you will have one wild time!

Life has dealt Cyra Delphin more than her share of hard knocks. When she tried to make a stand for the truth, all she got was burned and betrayed. Finding no comfort in the ordinary means of solace, she has decided to join Humans UnderGround, HUG, a group out to stop the goblins who run the world. Her flight is interupted when she finds Thomas Marrowbone hurt and needing her help. More importantly, she finds who she truly is and at last finds love. .................. Thomas, like her, is not strictly human. Unlike her, he has not spent a life suppressing his feyness. Together, they embark on a mystical and dangerous journey that will test every spiritual and physical muscle they have. Only with their love can they hope to win, much less survive. .................... **** Who says beauty can't be humorous? Ms Jackson tells a magical love story that is libearally seasoned with humor and is one of the most imaginative worlds created in this century. I can guarantee, you will not find another hero like Thomas anywhere, a man with four natures, one of them draconic. I especially enjoyed Orel, the goblin who rents Harleys. This is the kind of book that will ruin you for lesser novels. ****

Overview
Cyra Delphin never felt quite right in her own skin. As a child, her parents made her hide her gifts. But certain things don't stay buried. What others are afraid to acknowledge-- the modern world's seedy underbelly, its Wildside ruled by dark magic and goblins-- doesn't simply go away. And when that darkness came to call, Cyra sought sancturary in the Nevada desert.She found Thomas Marrowbone. He, too, was part of the Wildside. Beneath his tormented shell lurked something powerful and inhuman, but also something primal and erotic. Cyra recognized it, and for love she would follow the enigmatic loner into the depths of Hell. Their true destination-- ...
