Dom Najolia said Nice Short Story Format. The book was OK for short stories, There were a couple female authors I knew and follow in the novel format so I did enjoy being able to read a story, put it down and finish it later, and not a full novel. I like short stories you can read and finish in a short amount of time. "Must read anthology" according to Shawnie Nicole.

I will not review all of the stories, but I hags picked four of them to give you a look into the books.1. Shannon K.
