4.25
1) Undead Ghoul Meet-Cute by kendare blake - 3/5; ghoul ghoul hunter; not bad, but not my type - struck me more as weird than anything else
2) A Thousand More by chloe gong - 4.5/5; reincarnated Chinese soulmates; kinda silly tone but also sweet and the actual lore was emotional
3) Who Will Save Me by julian winters - 3.75/5; guardian angel in love w/ charge's brother; enjoyable story with likeable characters but rather simple plot
4) In The Eyes of Angels by alexis henderson - 2.5/5; angel covered in eyes drops in; not my cup of tea
5) My Demon Prince Charming by sandhya menon - 3.5/5; summons demon as her date; not bad but not my type
6) Katrine and Rowan's Exit Interview by sarah gailey - 5/5; shipwrecked sailor and "sirens"; really cool structure (interviews), enjoyable characters and interesting plot
7) Bride-Heart by marie rutkowski - 4.25/5; marries a bride-heart monster; pretty good, very fairytale-feeling; built up a good story in a short time
8) If You Give an Asura a Cookie by ashkaya raman - 4/5; they're two asuras (like a demon), liked it a lot, esp the idea of feeling like an outsider; portrayed well
9) Kiss The Boy by adib khorram - 4.25/5; mermaid story; liked it a lot, rather simple feel-good story
10) Piano Sonata No.13 by kalynn baron - 5/5; demon summoned by music; this one was really cool, and I liked how it didn't pull punches by trying to make the characters "good"
11) Once Upon a Time in Charleston by melissa de la cruz - 4.5/5; really good atmosphere and interesting characters
12) Pierce My Soul by kat cho - 2.75/5; vampire hunter in love with vampire; fine but not my type
13) Banes and Blessings by hafsah faizal - 4/5; siren lures and drowns men; pretty cool as a supernatural story, not really good as a romance
14) Bloody, Lovely by casey mcquiston - 5/5; bloody Mary retelling; really weird premise but I loved the characters and the story was really engaging
15) La Bruja y la Sirena by anna-marie mclemore - 5/5; sea witch and mermaid retelling; love love love - great retelling, great characterizations, great plot, cool structure (alternating perspectives)
