INTERFACE by Isabo Kelly takes us upon a futuristic journey where a woman must be protected from terrorists who threaten to destroy all that she's worked for-who plan to use her research and work for nefarious purposes. One man will protect her-at all costs. THROUGH THE WOODS by Ellen Edgar tells the tale of a man who has lost a lot in his life and is at the edge of despair, and the divorced woman who might be able to show him that life and love goes on. In SMOKE AND MIRRORS, author Donna MacMeans centers her story around a chubby woman who is transformed when she makes a wish upon an old and magical amber amulet, but what happens when the magic wears out?

Isabo Kelly brings us an intriguing sci-fi tale full of excitement, danger and passion. Gina is a woman who stands firm in all she believes in and will do anything it takes to protect those she loves and her work, even to trust a stranger. Gina isn't quick to trust, but then again, neither is Alex. Both these characters shoot instant sparks off each other, fight their feelings and each other for the upper hand. INTERFACE is a fast-paced, powerful read that shows Ms. Kelly's writing talent and her superb creativity. I would have liked a full-length version of this tale, that Alex was too scrumptious to leave!

The fifth is the longest story in the volume, a novelette entitled "Interface" by Isabo Kelly. Gina is angry when she discovers her father, the boss of their bionanotech(?) research company, has been hiding the fact that there are threats against the members of her R&D team. Two gorgeous guys have been hired to remove her to an arctic safe house, but only one of them makes her want to jump in his lap. The threat is presumed to come from a terrorist group who doesn't think Shifters (creatures who can change form and may or may not prey on humans) should be eradicated and also thinks their company helps kill them. The concepts in here are excellent, even exciting, but, like the previous work, this novelette suffers from a limited word count. I'd like to have seen more worldbuilding--without infodumps--and more of a reason to believe Gina was drawn to Alex. There's also some scientific info in the middle and end of the story which makes Alex distrust her, but I didn't get enough background as to why. Neat foundation, want more.
