Moonlight and Misadventures is a collection of 20 short stories by a variety of authors. Each story gives readers a variety of new characters, situations, and dangers to be faced. From a trickster brother who manipulates his twin into a nasty situation with a "mob boss," he owes money to, to a mother who finds herself the victim of some bad circumstances but makes the best of it.
Each of these stories passes by pretty quickly, but I like that each of the authors writes with true excellence. Each of the stories is well written and the stories are pretty engaging as well. There are some that you will snicker at, others that you will roll your eyes at the stupidity of the characters. Then there are some that will have you raising your eyebrows in surprise at how things play out. These stories really take you through the gambit and I like that.
Now, I didn't necessarily like all of the stories, but it's not because of the storyline itself...it's more of the characters. Maybe it's the twist (how things play out) that I'm not too keen on, but I felt that in two stories the characters are just a little too dumb for their own good. Bad comes out on top in one, and another two bickering mothers only come together because of a bout of stupidity all around. LOL!
I'm choosing to rate this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The stories absolutely fit the "moonlight and misadventures" theme and I tip my hat to each of the authors for the fun stories. Each either has a play of moonlight or some misadventures that the characters find themselves in. Some overcome...while others do not, but it's a good book to check out.
