I gave this book an overall 4.5 stars. The two stories are both very good paranormal romance.
First, Christine Feehan's Dark Dream is part of her Carpathian series--not sure where it falls in the reading order. This same story also appeared in another anthology, After Twilight. It is basically the story of a very ancient Carpathian male named Falcon who finds his lifemate--a human woman named Sara. Sara is on a mission to save seven orphaned children who like herself have psychic abilities. This story is a nice addition to the Carpathian series as the characters are very likable and show up several times later on in the series.
The second story, A Dream of Stone and Shadow by Marjorie M. Liu is excellent. Charlie is a gargoyle, part of an ancient and dieing race who have hidden themselves in plain sight by pretending to be human. He and his brothers are held captive by a witch bent on gaining their powers. During his captivity Charlie discovers a way to leave his body and travel into the world. In doing so he finds a child in desperate need of help and quickly searches out the one woman he believes can help the little girl. Aggie has powerful psychic abilities and a lot of courage, and she quickly falls in love with Charlie even as she rushes to the child's aid. This was a wonderful addition to the Dirk and Steele series--I believe it's number 4 if you're reading in order. I highly recommend the book for this story alone--it's unique and very romantic.
