Welcome To Hotel Paranoia Vanessa Montalban: 5⭐
I was blown away by the imagery used within this story to convey such a strong construct. Image isn't everything. Everyone isn't who you think they are. I enjoyed every sentence within this story!
The Visitor Kaylynn Byron: 5⭐
When I started this I had so many questions. But quickly I was under my covers hoping the bogeyman wasn't coming to get me. I felt so much of the atmosphere of this book. Everyone has been there, in the dark. Scared of what can't be seen. Kaylynn did it for me in so many ways.
A Brief Intermission Sara Farizan: 5⭐
I've always loved watching movies from the 50's and the culture back then. It was refreshing to see that included but it was even better the further the story went on. The ending was mind blowing. I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything. But love this story I do!
Guested Rebecca Kim Wells: 3⭐
I'm not a fan of introspective POV, and this one just didn't hit for me like the others have so far. I'm left with way too many questions than answers.
Rocky Road With Caramel Drizzle Kosoko Jackson 5⭐
Acceptance at any time in your life is peaceful. But not being accepted by others is torture. I felt so many things reading this story and it resonated so much within me. I really enjoyed seeing where this story went. I only wish I could have read more!
The Three Phases Of Ghost Hunting Alex Brown: 5⭐
Another story that I would love to be a full length book. I liked how open the MC is to the paranormal and willing to get proof. Even when others doubt what she thinks. I'm not going to lie. I really liked Bob, even though he was a bit of a grump. I would love to see where the story goes from here!
Nine Stops Trang Thanh Tran: 5⭐
Grief can make you do things you normally wouldn't do. I liked how this story explored grief and normalizing not just getting on with your life. But also showing how life doesn't stop just because you're grieving.
Leyla Mendoza and the Last House on the Lane Maya Gittelman: 4⭐
I really enjoyed seeing what was the creepy man in the overgrown home that everyone is scared of. You are able to see the growth that will become of your life. The only thing I didn't like is being told that everything is you. I don't need a third persons view of what I would experience.
In You To Burn Em X Liu: 5⭐
I am really enjoying how much cultural influence is being included in these stories. They give so much more context to the story, and brings forward what many may not otherwise hear about. I really enjoyed the push and pull between the two main characters. It gives so much angst to the story.
Anna Shelly Page: 5⭐
One of my top favorites from this lineup! It brings you into a situation that you never dream of happening and then it does. Enough to scare the hair off your head! I wish this could be a whole novel. There could be so much more given within the story to make it even better. Which would be hard to do, but this author could totally pull it off.
Hey There, Demons Tara Sim: 5⭐
I was so glad to see that this character was able to become something he had always run away from. He was able to see that there was more out there than he had been allowing himself. Along with someone to share new things with. Even if it is a demon.
Save Me From Myself Ayida Shonibar: 5⭐
Ayida did an amazing job with this short story. I devoured this and I want so much more!! I want to know more about what happened!!
Knickknack Ryan Douglass: 5⭐
I HATE CLOWNS 🤡. There is said it. But this was sooo much more than a demonic child stealing clown. It was admitting that what you're feeling is valid. Never hide how you feel because things could turn out so much better!
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
