A Poignant and Heartbreaking Love Story with Bite! Having read the first two chapters of the Fallen Cross Pack Series (“Bitter Beginnings” and “Bitter Challenge”), I’ve come to savor this amazing fantasy series written by an author I truly respect. And so, going into the brief tale (only 31 pages long) of a devoted husband forcefully turned werewolf and stripped of his family, it was satisfying to read about the O’Connell’s story from the wife’s perspective. Maggie’s story do

Horror Lovers Will Scream With Glee!

Endearing characters with iron stomachs and cheerful dispositions make “Curious Things” a feel-good short while the horrific events they witness will have you squirming in your favorite reading chair, and the creative manner in which Van Leerdam relates the fair punish

Hail to the Leader of the Pack! It’s been a year since Patrick O’Connell was ruthlessly attacked and bitten by a werewolf. He’s biding his time, waiting for his opportunity to overthrow his ruthless pack leader, Devaris, and maybe… just maybe, he can restore a small part of his former life. At only 50+ pages, DalRae packs a lot into this powerful short story that acts as a bridge between each short chapter of the Fallen Cross Pack Series, and readers will find it extremely di

A Masterpiece Of Paranormal/Fantasy—Bring On Book 2! Captivating and suspenseful, Aliya DalRae’s “Bitter Beginnings”—a Kindle Short Read—grabs you from the very start with a torrid forever-romance and non-stop action. Patrick O’Connell is living the life he always dreamed of, filled not with riches, fame, or glory, but blessed with a woman he truly loves—his dear wife, Maggie, and the light of his life, his young daughter, Jessica. But the life that Patrick loves is about to

A Daring And Bold Poetry Anthology! In “Little Girl Blues”, a daring and bold coming-of-age teenage poetry anthology, McGhee’s words are deep and profound as she expands on a variety of difficult and current life-topics such as entering puberty, bullying, rejection, self-denigration, loneliness, and despair. The author digs deep as her words come spilling out like an angel’s breath, offering heartfelt messages of hope, inspiration, tolerance, and encouragement. Although typog

Interesting and Colorful! There are two short stories in this novella by S. A. Gibson: “Pratima’s Engines” and what appears to be an excerpt from another novel, “Asante’s Gullah Journey”. With no introduction to explain how—or if—these two dystopian stories are related however, they do operate off the same premise and in the same context. Both tales are quick reads. In “Pratima’s Engines”, the story is told by Ameena, also called “The Deaf Girl”, who leads an unfulfilling lif

A Suspenseful & Chilling Tale Of The Macabre! Young Phil begins to experience whispers from the grave as he searches for meaning in a prospective teenage paramour’s premature and unexpected death. But is it his true love calling out to him, or is it something… else? Although I am familiar with Joanne Van Leerdam’s amazing poetry collections, I was pleasantly taken by surprise at the ease and familiarity she has demonstrated in slipping into the genre of short-story horror. Th

An Imaginative Adventure You Won’t Soon Forget! I love fairytales… really, really great fairytales. They take you to magical faraway places where you can be anyone, or anything, you want to be and do anything you want to do. Dreams, like fairytales, are much the same, and so is the basis for Julia E. Clements’ fantastic child adventure, “Dreamland”. 10-Year-old Daniel Green travels to Dreamland each night in his sleep, courtesy of a Silver Ticket, where he creates an amazing

Inspirational Epiphany For Anyone Longing For Peace And Resolution! Sarah Northwood’s “The Truths We Tell” is a profound and contemplative quoteworthy poetry collection divided into three sections: Fear, Contemplation, and Love. Each section subsequently deals with an issue and progresses to the next as an inner mind grows and overcomes the everyday challenges of life. From “Fear is the Stuff Brave is Made From” to “A Million Wonky Beats”, Northwood’s poetry plucks at the hea

A Heartwarming And Engaging Love Story! R.M. Gauthier weaves a suspenseful tale of mystery against the backdrop of a small town famous for its lavish round-the-year celebration of everyone’s favorite holiday—Christmas. Jack, a detective and the main character of this clever undercover mystery, probes his person-of-interest, Charlotte, with question after question about her past, suspecting that something may be off about her story.
