I recommended this book to the BSFS last October. I had 5 favorite stories. But I think almost all of the stories were really good. Some were scarier than others.

Each story was so different from the next which made you want go keep reading the book. This also had me looking to other authors that I had not heard of before . So now I look for those also whom I like and will start purchasing their books. So 5 thumbs up from me

This was a great read. Introduced me to some unique abc talented new writers for me. A bit biased, I picked this up because my fave Delizhia Jenkins was in it. The other authors were more icing on the cake. I will be visiting their catalogs soon.

I had high expectations for this collection, but many of the pieces are rough and lack fluidity and cohesiveness. A few are even littered with typos. Even so, the collection is encouraging and fills a mostly empty niche. I look forward to more refined pieces from some of these authors.

I thoroughly enjoyed the stories in this book. It's a great page turner and full of unique storylines that you could see yourself in.

I gave this book to my daughter as a gift. She absolutely loved it! Highly recommended!!

I loved this anthology. I became a fan of quite a few of these writers through this work. Looking forward to another collection as well.
