Dive into six full-length urban fantasy novels by USA Today and national bestselling authors!

Escape into tales of shifters and sorceresses, gamers and bakers, demons and artifact hunters, plus one very mischievous Norse god. Full of adventure, mystery, romance, and plenty of snark, these novels will immerse you in magical worlds while you turn pages far into the night.

Huntress Born by Aimee Easterling - Werewolf and baker Ember leaves her pack to hunt for her missing half brother. But with danger growing on all sides, it's only a matter of time before she gets burned. By an author described as a "good choice for Patricia Briggs fans."

Beyond the Veil by Pippa DaCosta - Half-demon and half-human, Muse tried to lead an ordinary life. But when an underworld assassin comes after her, she must embrace her powers—and make a formidable deal with the Prince of Greed.

Justice Calling by Annie Bellet - Between hiding out from her evil ex-boyfriend who wants to steal her power and keeping her friends safe from dangerous magics, Jade Crow has all the problems. For fans of The Dresden Files and the Iron Druid, this is a nerdy urban fantasy full of snark and fireballs.

Getting Wilde by Jenn Stark - Tarot-reading artifact hunter Sara Wilde can find anything, for a price. Then a wickedly sexy magician offers her the ultimate challenge: Sneak behind Vatican walls...and steal the Devil himself. Globe-trotting, fast-paced, high-stakes adventure perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, Faith Hunter, and Ilona Andrews!

Wolves by C. Gockel - When Amy prays for help, Loki the Norse God of mischief and Chaos isn't the savior she has in mind. Loki can't resist Amy's summons, but he can insist that she help him outwit Odin, ruler of the Nine Realms. The start of an epic urban fantasy with myth, magic, and mayhem!

Empowered: Agent by Dale Ivan Smith - The world says those possessing superpowers are either heroes or villains. But what if you're both? Former rogue empowered Mathilda Brandt must return to villainy in order to save her family and thousands of others from a psychotic criminal mastermind.

C. Gockel has been writing stories for her friends and family since the dark ages (i.e., before word processors existed.) A few years ago, she started posting those stories to the intertubes. She received emails, messages, and reviews from her fans telling her she should 'do this professionally.' She didn't; she is a coward and life as a digital designer, copywriter and coder is more dependable. But in the end, her husband's nagging wore her down: "You could be the next '50 Shades of Gray' and I could retire!" Unfortunately, the author writes science fiction and fantasy, and isn't particularly good at writing erotica. She is sad about this; she'd love for her husband to be able to retire and just work for her so she could nag him.
At the moment, Ms. Gockel is working on the next installment of the Archangel Project.

Three stars and that's an average

Book 1 Huntress Born by Aimee Easterling was good. I had read it before and as I recall it's NOT a cliffhanger
Book 2 Beyond the Veil by Pippa DaCosta was good and NOT a cliffhanger
Book 3 Justice Calling by Annie Bellet
Book 4 Getting Wilde by Jenn Stark is a cliffhanger, shame on Easterling for including it
Book 5 Wolves by C. Gockel is very descriptive with choppy sentences like a young teen would write, cliffhanger
Book 6 Empowered Agent by Dale Ivan Smith - quite good and NOT a cliffhanger
Most of these have some kind of romantic interest but to call them 'romance' would be a huge stretch. Sex? Nope, though I don't remember the specifics of the first book, I read it quite some time ago.
I'd also like to give the book's author/compiler a bit of a swat on the head for allowing cliffhangers to be put in this set.

* This is a review for Beyond the Veil by Pippa DaCosta only.

This is a solid 4 star read. I'm actually surprised by how much I liked this book. I love reading about half demons in a fictional earth in the present day and this book just hit the spot. Don't even get my started on the plots twists.

In the beginning, with Muse running back to her so called demon kind-of-not-boyfriend-king-dude was very annoying. The one thing the got me irritated with it was that she KNEW he was dangerous and probably wanted her head on a stick and yet she kept trusting him. She should have HUGE trust issues with the type of life she's been dealt. Every time she even thought about Akil it was like all rational thought flew out the metaphorical window. Backbone, where are you?!

I've decided that I'm Switzerland when it comes to picking a team in this book/series. Sure, Stefan is the obvious choice, but I just can't get over the fact that he f***ed Muse over the WHOLE book. He misled the heroine and the reader by default. To say the least, that hurts. On the other hand, I would never, in my right mind, pick Akil. If you've read the book, do you even have to ask? He's King evil incarnate (literally) with no redeeming qualities, period.

That ending cuts very deeply. I almost cried. It was THAT heart wrenching. After getting slapped upside the head with plot twists every five pages during the WHOLE book I still didn't see that ending coming. Really, Stefan? You just had to go and protect her like that?

Favorite Quotes:

"Stefan was right when he said you don't want to make an enemy of me. If I can kill my demon owner, I can certainly kill you."

"You were leading me right into the lion's den."

"The convenient 'gentleman's agreement between demons' excuse."

I was charmed by the cupcake-baking heroine of Huntress Born

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020

This box set appears to have an exciting selection of urban fantasy novels featuring strong heroines. Each is the first in a series, so this is a nice way to discover new series that you might enjoy. Based on previous experience with these authors, I’m looking forward to reading several of the stories in this anthology, but so far, I have only read Huntress Born by Aimee Easterling, so my review is currently based solely on that story. I will update the review as I have time to read more.

Aimee Easterling reliably delivers fun shifter stories with exciting plots. Huntress Born is the first volume in her Wolf Legacy series, which is a spinoff of her Wolf Rampant Trilogy but can definitely be enjoyed alone.

I found Ember a charming heroine. I loved how she tried to solve so many of her problems with baked goods and was always guessing at what someone's favorite dessert would be. I liked Sebastien too, though I feel like we haven't really gotten a chance to know him very well yet. My main complaint with this book is that besides our main character, I felt like I didn't get to know or understand the other characters as well as I would have liked, so their actions didn't always make sense.

This was a relatively quick read that effortlessly captured and held my interest. The pacing was good and the plot was exciting. However, while I really enjoyed this book, it wasn't always an easy read. There are a couple of scenes featuring sexual assault, and while the text is never too graphic, it could be triggering for some readers. The story also ended much more abruptly than I was expecting, so keep that in mind if you dislike cliffhanger endings. Fortunately, Huntress Bound (Wolf Legacy Book 2) and the remaining two books of the series are already available.

One of the best boxed sets available!

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020

I have to say that I think this is one of the best boxed sets outs there. I got it to read Aimee Easterling's Huntress Born, which I loved. Ember is a character we met in the Wolf Rampant series and I am glad she got her own story. This boxed set also contains books I've already read from several other truly awesome authors. I'll read anything Jenn Stark writes, the Sara Wilde series is excellent and Getting Wilde is a must read. I also loved Annie Bellet's Justice series and Pippa DaCosta's Muse series. I haven't read Wolves or Empowered yet, but given the quality of the first fours books, I'm really looking forward to reading those next. This series is a great introduction to so many awesome authors you just can't pass it up!

Good selection ranging from good to excellent

Good selection of stories ranging from good to excellent.
1. Huntress born. Aimee Easterling. 1st of series Wolf Legacy (4 total). Werewolf/human leaves home territory lloking for brother. Good story but ends on cliff hanger which is frustrating.
2. Beyond the Veil. Pippa da Costa. 1st of series The Veil (5 total). Half human half demon hybrid on journey of self discovery. Reasonably good.
3. Justice calling. Annie Bellet. 1st of series 20 sided sorceress (10 total). A sorceress in hiding, hiding her abilities to stay under the radar but events dictate otherwise. Good but very short. Seems like just intro to the series.
4. Getting Wilde. Jenn Stark. 1st of series Immortal Vegas (10 total). Excellent. Heroine is bright, competent and sassy. One of the few that I would consider reading the rest of the series-& they are relatively cheap too.
5. Wolves. C Gockel. 1st of series I bring the fire (8 total). Norse mythology, Loki story. Good.
6. Empowered agent. Dale Ivan Smith. 1st of series The empowered (total 5). Good story, abbout how people get trapped in situations.

A review of Empowered: Agent by Dale Ivan Smith

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is an exciting read with twists and turns where not everything is black and white. Mat (the heroine) has a power which allows her to controls plants and trees and as the novel progresses, she learns just how powerful she actually is. The goodies and baddies are not always easily distinguishable and each side is quite shadowy, which I quite enjoyed. This is tagged as young adult but will appeal to older readers too.
I am looking forward to reading the other books in this set.

Fantastic writing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 26, 2020

I enjoyed some more than others, probably because there is less romance in some.
I knew one author, the rest were new to me. I will be seeking out some of them.
Definitely worth reading.

Quite the boxset. A range of books to suit all especially when stuck in lock down. Magic and mystery in each book but trying to keep track was difficult.
