My favourite of the three was "Taming Fate" by Amalia Dillin, being a massive fan of her "Forged By Fate" series. It's a brilliant little story about one of Eve's lives - as the Marquise DeLeon. I won't give anything away, but it did make me cry.
The other two in this wonderful book were new to me, and I enjoyed them both very much.
"A Devil In Midwinter" edged ahead, as I loved the characterisation, particularly Esme, who was very interesting and dynamic, and Annie, who leapt off the page. I know very little about Mexican mythology, and this inspired me to look into them.
"Opal", the last of the offerings, was a wonderful and magical story, and I liked the unusual narrative style. It's rare to find such a new and different spin on a fairytale classic, but this was a breath of fresh air.
I look forward to reading more from all three authors.
