Fangirltastic – “Sunny Moraine’s combination fantasy and SF piece, “Thin Spun,” was an intriguing blend of South Asian myth and culture that I found fascinating…definitely a wonderful collection with bold, diverse, female heroes worth reading.”

Night Owl Reviews – “For a novella that falls just under forty pages, it really packs a lot of punch. I was happily surprised that even though it is a shorter story, it really doesn’t read like one. I thought the story was creative and beautifully written and I really hated to see it come to an end.”
CSI Librarian – “There was such a haunting, brooding, fairy tale mood to the piece that was really intriguing and so well done. It was very easy to care both for Rhys and for James especially since what was going to happen to James and to Rhys was always unclear. This uncertainty added a richness to their relationship and the decisions they both had to reach for themselves in regards to their place in the world as well as one another.”

Rainbow Reviews – “This was a short story but it packed a lot into those pages. The writing was very fluid and lyrical in tone. I could feel the youth and vitality of Jaith and Shoa right away… The ritual is well detailed and erotic.”
Mrs. Giggles – “This is a pleasant erotic short interlude that offers just enough spice to make it worth the time. Those folks at Bel Ami may want to make a naughty film out of this one.”
Night Owl Reviews – “A beautifully told tale of mystic fantasy and romance … It reads like a longer novel, and I enjoyed it immensely. This is the first book I’ve read by Sunny Moraine, but it won’t be the last.”

“The Art of Storm-Riding”
Queer Magazine Online – “The first story, “The Art of Storm-Riding”…brings alive the setting and characters with absorbing detail, and tells a thorough story beginning to end.”

“Upload”
Three Dollar Bill Reviews – “A stunning vision of cybersex reimagined … Clever and visual and compelling. Moraine manages to tackle questions of lesbian connection and empowerment, and how they change in the absence of physicality and organic connection. All in the middle of one truly hot sex scene.”
Miss Rat – “I find the sex here reasonably hot – in part because I can’t predict how it’s going to go … Data transfer as orgasm is interesting, and works reasonably well.”

“That Wicked Witchcraft”
Dark Diva Reviews – “I liked how the “witch” got a taste of her own medicine, but there were no ovens involved. This was a cute story.”
Whipped Cream Reviews – “Definitely a hot story, as is this entire anthology.”

“Summer in Canaan”
Reviews by Jessewave – “This was definitely the most moving and poignant story out of the anthology … The story is very description heavy which provides a wonderful sense of place … this was a very lovely, well written story”
Rainbow Reviews – “‘Summer in Canaan’ contains what may be the most poetic, yet totally drool-worthy, description of ghost sex in literature.”
