I received an advanced copy of these short stories. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
•Everywhere You Look by Liv Constantine (4⭐️): A great story by a favorite author that I highly recommend. Well written and kept me engaged from start to finish.
•The Ghost Writer by Loreth Ann White (5⭐️): An intriguing plot set in a spooky, isolated mansion involving two writers, murders and a memoir. The ending was shocking and fantastic. Looking forward to reading more by Loreth Anne White.
•The Other Side Of The Road by Andrea Bartz (5⭐️): A quick read that grabbed me from the first sentence. A combination of love and horror. What a wild ride! I actually laughed out loud at the ending. Great little story!
•Scorpions by Rachel Howzell Hall (2⭐️): A rambling, chaotic, weird story that ended without resolution…would have been a DNF if not a short story in a collection.
•Jackrabbit Skin by Ivy Pochoda (3⭐️): A good read that makes you really think about the truth…liked the ending. Difficult to say more without spoilers.
•The Bad Friend by Caroline Kepnes (1⭐️): This story fell flat for me…stilted dialogue, unlikable, superficial characters and no discernible, clear plot.
Overall rating would be 4⭐️
