Myths & Legends: An Indie Love Anthology – Review by Angela Hayes

Myths & Legends by Laura Greenwood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Myths & Legends: An Indie Love Anthology is a collection of seven original stories all based on well-known myths and legends. From Egyptian Gods to Robin Hood, Arthurian Legends, Hades and Persephone, Greek mythology, and more….there is a lot to choose from.
The stories range from fantasy to paranormal romance- with F/F romance, forbidden love, second chances, self-discovery, finding love unexpectedly, crime and investigation, covert military units, dragon shifters, magic, and much more.
I would like to have read longer versions of these stories, because a few of them felt really rushed and underdeveloped. I love the premise of most of them- but a few were let down by a rushed story and lack of development.

The collection contains:

–Mistress of Sky and Stars (Forgotten Gods: Origins) By: Laura Greenwood
This is a forbidden love story based on an Egyptian creation myth.

–Queens of the Underworld By: Arizona Tape
This is an original take on Hades and Persephone’s story, but with a twist- it’s a F/F romance.

–Frost and Flame By: R.J Truman
This is a paranormal fantasy- with Phoenix’s, magic, fire & Ice, second chances, discovery, drama, and more. While I loved the concept of this story and thought it could have been quite a stellar read if only it had been longer- to allow for more depth and development. It felt really rushed.

–In Search of Ghosts By: Paula Acton
This is based on the Arthurian legend of the Lady in the Lake. A fantasy fully of paranormal elements, magic, drama, and fate. Again, this story was fun- but I felt it needed to be a little longer to allow the story to really shine.

–Cursed to Love By: Erin O’Kane
This is my favourite of the collection. Based on Greek mythology with Gorgons, curses, betrayal, magic, drama, and more. This was such a great little read- I would love to read a loner version of this story as I wanted to linger longer with the character/s, cos I’m greedy like that lol. The story leaves room for more at the end, so I am hoping to get more in the near future (hint, hint Ms O’Kane 😊)

–I Do It For You By: Louisa Line
This is the modern retelling of the classic, “Robin Hood”- and is about finding love unexpectedly, with a little crime and investigation thrown in to keep things interesting.

–Dragon’s Heart By: Carrie Austin Malone
Who doesn’t love dragon shifter stories? I know I do. A story full of action, magic, danger, fated mates, romance, covert military units, hunters, hidden agendas, and a secret society….. need I say more 😊

Thank you to all the contributing authors!
