Magic, Mayhem & Mates: A Collection of Novellas and Short Stories by Naomi Valkyrie

5.0

A fantastic and easy to get into, collection of short stories and novellas. I have read all of them as separate books, but having them all in one collection is a dream. Mostly all M/M romance themed, paranormal, and shifters  The book consists of the following short stories and novellas: 
 
Fate, Frankincense & Funerals: Two different types of shifters, one who is forbidden to take a mate, but they make it work and fight the way their world works and thinks to be together. 
 
The Ghastly Gumball: Paranormal romance, drama and comedy. Lockwood and Rex are a beautiful couple. Sweet epilogue. 
 
The Final Bite: Short and sweet with so many fantastic aspects to the story. Quinnlan getting a second chance at love with Garrett and the obstacles they face. 
 
The Men of Eden Cove Manor: The men of Eden Cove Manor are hiding something. We get vampires and an entangled web of romance to figure out. 
 
House Valdis Origins: Xenobia: An opening for the book The Rise of the House of Valdis. The story of Xenobia and Urd, their friendship and struggles. 
 
 
The Alien & The Crime Boss: A warrior, Leilphun, becomes a “being” to defend and protect Kasper. Kasper forms an attachment to him while trying to merge the two empires
