Love and Void by Olga Toprover
Dasha is a woman who stops aging at 25 because of a curse hanging over her family. This is just a side effect of witchcraft, the aim of which was to force Dasha and all women in her family to suffer from love and from never being loved in return.
“They will live with that unrequited love, which would be a torture. It will turn into their pain, obsession and sickness. Time will not heal them. Minutes and years would stretch to lengthen their sadness. There will no escape from love. Exhausted by that love, they will be seeking a way out. There will be just one escape, just one…”
Dasha is trying to find a way to stop the witchcraft. She witnesses wars, and leaders who come and go, promising new horizons and tearing off the thin threads of hope. To solve her mother’s secrets she has to connect the dots between past and present, traveling to various cities and even countries. Her sister Anna is suffering because of love and Dasha herself cannot escape her fate. Can she beat the darkness and change her life? Will she be able to find happiness in the ocean of suffering and frustration?
Readers who are moved by a combination of fantasy, drama and romance will find this book interesting. The concept of “Love and Void” was partly inspired by “The Enchanters” (1973) by a French writer Romain Gary.

Forever and One Week by Caroline Cairn
The Spirits of Saoradh, who carry the guilt of a crime they committed when they were alive, now spend their ghostly days in the Void, dark nothingness where time and space are distorted. Until they get bound to a human. As often as needed, that human can call them to the real world, ask them to grant a wish, then send them back to the Void. The Spirits also have to follow strict rules or be punished, unaware that they can earn their redemption through a selfless sacrifice.
Spirit Logan despises the obedience he has to show to his humans, and prefers the enjoyable solitude of the Void. For three years, he has managed to threaten them into severing their bond, thus having his memory wiped of their existence. Except his latest human, an emotionless woman with a secret past, isn’t scared of him. Worse, she doesn’t care about his ability to make wishes come true.
Tessa, a twenty-six-year-old nursery teacher in Fort William, Scotland, doesn’t expect a sullen ghost only she can see and touch to burst through her solid defences. Both dismayed and intrigued, she offers Logan a deal he can’t refuse: to live with her in the human world for one week, at the end of which she will agree to release him.
Slowly, Tessa braves through the safety of her detachment towards people to show Logan some kindness. But the more her feelings deepen, the more Logan increases his distance…
Fairy-Struck by Amy Sumida
Would you like to hear a real fairy tale? A story about the war between us and them. A war which led to a truce and a truce which led to the creation of a secret society. There are councils you know nothing about, councils of fairies and of humans who write laws which govern us both. Laws you also know nothing about yet still you are held accountable to them. If you break these laws, the Wild Hunt of Fairy will come for you but don’t worry too much, it’s hard to break laws concerning that which you don’t believe in. Fairies tend to break the truce more than humans and that’s where I come in. I’m part of a military force who monitors the fey. When they cross the line, we extinguish their light… permanently. I’m Extinguisher Seren Sloane and I can tell you a real fairy’s tale, if you’re brave enough to listen.
And There I Found You: Four Short Love Stories by Kelly Zientek
His greatest anguish is to be separated from his heart's desire.
When Caleb refuses a vengeful goddess, she banishes his wife from the bonds of time, and Caleb must find his wife somewhere across the centuries before remaining drops of youthful potion run out and he must promise himself to the goddess for eternity. That's just the start of it in this collection, which opens with Caleb in “The Thirteenth Door.”
In the next story, “The Lost Princess,” an ancient Egyptian princess awakens, looking into the eyes of her unrequited lover. There are only two small problems: Her spirit is stuck inside her mummy in a museum exhibit, and her lover does not recognize that she is awake.
“Mizuki's Den of Dreams” takes us down a darker path, one in which Alice Hannigan can have the love and happiness she's always longed for… with one horrifying catch.
This collection ends with the achingly wistful “Requiem for an Immortal,” drawing us up to the great beyond where a woman's soul mate prepares for his journey to the love they will share in mortal life.
When the greatest anguish is to be separated from the one you love, and the greatest triumph is to be reunited, how much would you be willing to sacrifice? How far would you travel across the bounds of time, space, and even that mysterious veil between life and death to be with the one you love?
