Really liked it my favorite story was "Bridge" :)

I haven't read through all of the stories in Enthralled, but I did read the ones from the series I've already started, and I loved them! I especially loved Kelley Armstrong's! I can never get enough of her novellas! :D Melissa Marr's was also a great story to read after you've finished her Wicked Lovely series, it was a great taste of what's happened to the characters since then. :)

If you're a fan of novellas that fit between books this is the perfect anthology for you. :)

Four stars for the stories by Kami Garcia and Sarah Rees Brennan, and a couple of others. I didn't like that so many stories were part of worlds from books I hadn't read (and didn't actually make me want to read the books), but it was worth it for the good ones.

I loved this anthology, and it had so many great authors and great stories. It would take me forever to review each story individually. However, if you can only read snippets of it here and there, I recommend starting with Red Run by Kami Garcia. Her story was quiet easily the best of the group.

I love short stories. Actually I think that its quite an understatement. I love short stories. I grew up reading Hans Christian Anderson’s tales, Aesop fables and others. The short story vibe is in my blood. Short stories can be about anything and everything and it takes great skill to write a memorable story in just a few words. They need to be interesting from start to finish and it needs to convey the idea effectively.

Enthralled was an interesting anthology. I enjoyed majority of the stories those being:

Giovanni’s Farewell by Claudia Gray

Scenic Route by Carrie Ryan
I am not a fan of Carrie Ryan's Forest of Hands and Teeth. The main characters were terribly boring and quite frankly it just wasn't my cup of team, however, this short story was very interesting. Perhaps if Forest of Hands and Teeth was about the characters in this short story I would have enjoyed it?

Red Run by Kami Garcia

Bridge by Jeri Smith-Ready
This short story was written in free verse and I enjoyed this one a bit too much. Free verse poetry to me is not really poetry but it was effective in this short story. I made the tone more somber and the story much more sadder.

Skin Contact by Kimberly Derting

Gargouille by Mary E. Pearson
Etienne! :D

The Third Kind by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Jennifer Lynn Barnes was is a very talented author. She comes up with interesting well written concepts. This short story was a clear example. "The Third Kind" was a very interesting short story full of mystery and action. I would be really excited to see this as a novel or series!

Let’s Get this Undead Show on the Road by Sarah Rees Brennan
This short story was hilarious! I loved every word of it! I would love to see this as a novel please?

Facing Facts by Kelley Armstrong
I loved Kelley Armstrong's Darkest Powers Trilogy. This extra into that world was lovely to read.

Overall I liked these short stories. I would have loved it better if they created short stories unrelated to what the authors had written before.

Just like any anthology there were some good bits and some bad. Mostly good though! Love the theme of paranirmal diversions, and how different every authors taked were on it.

It was a good change of pace, reading many short stories instead of a full length novel. Some of the stories were really good (Bridge, Red Run, Skin Contact, Leaving, Giovanni's Farewell, Gargouille), that I would love them to be full lengths.

I really enjoyed this anthology. I kinda wished it was all original stories, because half the time I was like "wait, this is from a series...I don't know this series at all..." but they were well-written in the way that you don't really need to read the series before reading the stories in here.

This YA anthology had some real big hitters in it but for the most part I didn't really like most of the stories to find out more about the worlds they were set in. Even the ones that were set in story settings I knew, the story left me with more of a "eh" feeling than lets find more of that.
