Five seconds later a Lizard Man leaves the well followed by a beautiful warrior woman who turns out to be an adult Withering who says she spent a decade trying to come home.

Shay obtains a job as the child’s nanny, but the well turns her human while demon hunter Quel comes to kill her.

“A Tawdry Affair” by Gena Showalter . Witch Glory Tawdry loves Falcon, but he does not apparently reciprocate. Outraged by her unrequited love and in possession of a magical pen, she begins to scribe her sexual fantasies with and vengeance on the hunk who rejected her.

“It’s in His Kiss” by P.C. Cast. The new teacher in town, Summer is a vegetarian. At a Romeo and Juliet art exhibit she meets Colin the vampire who wants to change her diet.

The return to MYSTERIA (by the same writing quartet) is filled with four amusing lighthearted paranormal romances.
