All four of the stories in this book are good in their own ways.

I hate to say too much about them, in case I'd reveal spoilers, but:

"Silver Moon" by Catherine Lundoff was the one I liked the most. As a menopausal woman myself, I love the idea that the "gifts" it brings are not always nuisances like hot flashes! Well-drawn characters and a sympathetic protagonist, plus a solid plot round it out.

I was less smitten with Erzebet YellowBoy's "Inside Out", for several reasons. I think Gretchen- and her sisters- got really, really stuck in their life situations, and were not even trying to make any changes- even though they were not at all happy as they were. Lots of agonizing there, all around. Also, I know I've read this story before, though I cannot place where.

"Sanquali" by Racheline Maltese had a good pacing and some intriguing characters. My only quibble about it is that it read more like a prelude to a novel than a stand-alone story; perhaps that's what it is. I'd be interested in the future adventures of these characters.

"The Dime in the Penny Well" (Tyree Campbell) was the least werewolf-y of the 4, but has both a good heart and some twists.

It's a good selection, and I loved the various takes on werewolves... especially female werewolves, who do not get a lot of attention generally. ( )
