I was disappointed in this book. It wasn't an anthology like I expected but a conglomeration of authors writing the same story. There were parts that were great and others (most of it actually) that was just so-so. I liked the grand premise: the aunt who's losing her powers through aging targets her powerful but don't know it nieces. Aunt Xantippe is an evil woman who manipulates everyone into doing what she wants regardless of the consequences. Dee, Lizzie and Mare are good moral people just trying to live their lives under the radar when Aunt Xantippe reenters their lives. The only good thing she did was introduce each woman to their soul mate. Unfortunately, she didn't do it for their sakes but her own. Anyway, a good premise but not executed very well.
