This book was so much fun to read and each story had its own way of drawing you in and keeping you until the end. 
The first story was my favourite and I found the second story to be a little too drawn out with some unnecessary plot points. Overall I really enjoyed this book.

This could have been a 5 star story, if the characters had been better developed and if it didn't cut off so abruptly. I was left wanting, but getting nothing in return.

missgrangerr's review against another edition

Due to the animal abuse, mental abuse, and overall writing of this novella I had to put it down. Just not for me.

A really good read! Kept me hooked the whole way through. A lot of people dislike it, and I see why, but I love psychological horror like this, so it was right up my alley.
