i do realise that this was a dead dove clearly labeled do not eat and yet i chose to eat the dove anyway. i have read many dd:dne fics and stories before and been fine - i guess this dead dove just wasn’t to my taste.

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke - 5 stars
I love the power imbalance at play. It was so sinister and chilling and made me horrified with how warped people behave to hold onto what they deem to be love.
The Enchantment - 5 stars
This was a bit slow when getting into but after chapter 6 I was hooked. It is a story surrounding grief and loss, and a struggle/need to hold onto marriage and faith. The ending left my jaw on the floor.
You'll Find It's Like That All Over - 3 stars
My least favorite story in the collection but enjoyed the language around the need for people pleasing, and the dangers that often leads to.

Moderate: Miscarriage and Gaslighting

It was sad, seeing someone dove wholeheartedly into an unrequited romance with just selfish intent on the other side. And the building dread that forms in the first few pages just continues to compile til the final line.

What starts as a suspiciously innocent interaction (derived from the naïvety of one of the characters which can sometimes be almost irritating), soon turns into a twisted and dark tale that I couldn't have anticipated. While short, it still retains enough detail that allows the reader to have a vivid (too vivid) image of the events, even appealing to other senses. It's hard for me to find a piece of writing that makes my skin crawl, but this one did exactly that. As much as I found myself frustrated by the end of the book, with many questions unanswered, I think this is one of those cases that teaches you that you don't have to find the meaning behind everything.
