History is filled with stories of women accused of witchcraft, of fearsome girls with arcane knowledge. Toil & Trouble features fifteen stories of girls embracing their power, reclaiming their destinies and using their magic to create, to curse, to cure and to kill. (Anthonogy).

As it usually happens with me and short stories, I kind of wish I could read an entire novel set in all of the worlds hiding under this book's cover. But with the exception of just a couple, all the stories were highly enjoyable in this short form for me, as well. I liked how different they all were, ranging from very sweet to very dark. My favorite is probably The Heart in Her Hands by Tess Sharpe, with Starsong by Tehlor Kay Mejia, The Truth About Queenie by Brandy Colbert and Love Spell by Anna-Marie McLemore all fighting for the position of the close second.
