I read the first two stories in this anthology.

Deliver Us From Evil by Allison Brennan:
When Demonologist Anthony Zaccardi gets a call from his friend, Rafe, begging him to come to California, Anthony drops everything to get the first plane out. Rafe is living in a mission with a dozen priests. He says the priests are acting strangely and wants Anthony to check the place out. But when Anthony arrives, he finds twelve dead priests. Rafe is injured and in a coma. The local sheriff, Skye McPherson, doesn't trust Anthony. She also doesn't buy his story about demons. Unfortunately, if Skye doesn't listen to him soon, she may be the next victim.

I thought this story had a unique plot. But I didn't buy into Anthony and Skye falling in love over the course of a couple of days. My rating: 4 Stars.

Reason to Believe by Roxanne St. Claire:
The Bullet Catchers have been hired by TV Psychic Arianna Killian. Arianna has been receiving threatening letters that make her believe her life may be in danger. Lucy Sharpe assigns Chase Ryker to protect Arianna. Chase may be skeptical of Arianna's abilities, but that doesn't stop him from safeguarding her from a possible killer.

This was an entertaining novella. I think it could have been easily lengthened into a full-sized novel. The action is fast-moving and the couple has great chemistry. My rating: 4 Stars.
