This book was free when I downloaded it, but if I had I paid for it, I would have felt cheated. At least 50% of the book is previews of novels by the 5 short story authors. I skipped over these, although I did look up book reviews of some of them elsewhere.

I was split over the short stories themselves. I like having something I can read in a half hour break and all these stories fitted that criteria. The first few stories I really enjoyed, although they were predictable and written to a formula, but there were others which I struggled to see as short stories at all.

Overall good as a taster of author's writing styles, but lacks any real substance and instantly forgettable.

When you take away the excerpts from other books there's only 5 stories in here and so it doesn't even take an hour to get through this book.
I don't like excerpts personally and don't read them. I either want the whole book or I'll wait for it so for me this was exceptionally short.
The short stories are ok but if like me that's all you want from this book you might be disappointed
