Anya has never been one for the spotlight, but her family seems to now be front and center, and the talk of the town in Underlayes. In the aftermath of her mother’s death, the discovery of said mother’s deceit, and Anya’s half sister getting ready to challenge her own father for the witches throne, keeping a low profile may prove to be difficult. Add in the fact that she’s pregnant, by her female … female mate, and it may turn out to be impossible.
Kierra has never been one for many words. So if she were forced to explain how she impregnated Anya, it probably wouldn’t be easy for her. Especially since the truth would mean revealing her origins; she’s not a vampire, or even anything close to it. And living in a realm where her kind isn’t allowed may cause a few ramifications. Plus, should the kid call her Mom, or Dad?
Jump right back into the world of Underlayes where this magical family takes dysfunction to brand new heights.

I liked reading this book as you could tell the book was written with passion.
Looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.
I have never read anythng from this author before this story. This is not one of the books I normally read , but I am so glad I read this book. T. A. Moorman is a wonderful author I am glad I found her. Her way of writing is new to me going by this story but I loved reading it and want to read more by this author.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
WOW! I’m am beyond words in love with this book…I totally want more!!!! I need more!!!! At first I wasn’t caught right away, which is how I like to be but I stuck with it & am so so so glad I did!!!
Hybrids is a short story in the Underlayes collection told from Anya’s POV. First, I have to say, the Underlayes series is one of my favorites to date. I truly recommend starting with book one but I believe Hybrids was written in a way that could be read as a standalone as well. Anya and Keira are Fated Mates and this is the tale of how Anya got pregnant and the consequences they face by bringing the little bundle of joy into the realm. I’m just really happy the title of this installment is not Who’s Your Daddy or some other crazy thing. Here is a snippet to whet your appetite:
“Anya, all it takes is one time.”
“Ugh, what are we going to do if I am? Just come out to everybody and say my wife got me pregnant?
Well, that struck a fear in my heart so deep that I could barely breathe past the panic. We would be dealing with yet another hybrid baby, just like Tia, and they’d both be born around the same time.”
Moorman’s world building skills are flawless. I am so happy that the characters I’ve come to love are back in this action-packed, witty, erotic novella. Seriously, one-click. You won’t regret it.
This is the exciting follow-up to Witch Wars, in which Anya is the main focus of the story. With two half sisters to bond with and deadly enemies after all three of them, life gets even crazier for Anya and her soulmate Kierra. Nice!

Another trip to the Underlayes. This time the focus is on Anya and her mate Kierra. The story offers a glimpse into the “missing” years between books 1 and 2 of the Underlayes series.
Hybrids had some errors — a combination of typos and missed words. I think it would benefit from another read-through or two, or a good look-over by an editor. I also felt that the ending was rushed, almost as though a max word or page count had been reached so the story had to end.
I received my ARC copy on May 6th, so I don’t know if some of the issues I noticed have been fixed since then. I’m also aware that Ms. Moorman has switched to self-publication, so some of this may be “growing pains.”
Regardless of the issues, the story was fun, and I enjoyed getting to see things from Anya’s as yet unexplored perspective, including getting to see more of Kierra. I hope some of the other “missing” years between books 1 and 2 get explored in future novellas or installments.
