Hundreds of years ago, in the mountains of Colorado (just close enough to Denver for great shoe shopping), the small town of Mysteria was "accidentally" founded by a random act of demonic kindness. Over time, it has become a veritable magnet for the supernatural--a place where magic has quietly coexisted with the mundane world.

It's a town like any other town, where the high school's Fighting Fairies give fans something to cheer about, where everyone knows your name--if not exactly what you are--at the local bar, and where the wishing well actually lives up to its name.

Strange occurrences happen every day, but now the ladies of Mysteria are about to unleash a tempest of seduction that will have tongues wagging for centuries to come...

Review:

"Splitting the difference between Desperate Housewives and The X-Files, this paranormal romance brings magic and monsters to the steamy suburbs in four satisfying novellas about the town of Mysteria. There's magic, heat, and lots of laughs."--Publishers Weekly

"Charming, funny, and quite offbeat, this collection highlights the vast talents of these authors. The perfect escape read!"--RT Book Reviews

"Four enchanting paranormal romantic novellas."--Midwest Book Review

"This [anthology] has all of the elements that I just love to read about. I had such fun reading this book. I really didn't want these stories to end. I loved the town of Mysteria and hope these authors see fit to visit the townspeople . . . again!"--The Best Reviews

"Desperate Housewives meets Charmed, this collection of novellas is as varied in its content as the authors who've written them. From sweet and passionate to dark and sexy, the werewolves, vampires, demons, witches, fairies, and humans of Mysteria are as engaging and fun as they are diverse and compelling."--Fresh Fiction
