WHAT a FIND!
Full disclosure, I was given an e-copy of this book by the publishers in an exchange of an honest review and am I the luckiest person to have that happen to me?
Normally, I wouldn't have picked an anthology - they've rarely been my cup of tea. Which is why I'm so thrilled this book found me instead of the other way round! Why? Because it's GREAT!
I LOVED EVERY PIECE IN IT!
The concept is really creative - a collective of authors get together and agree to write each a story under the same title. And that's the only rule. And that's what makes this collection super exciting to read.
I'll give you only one spoiler (it's not RLY a spoiler, don't worry) - all the stories have generally feel good mood to them, even if there are scary SCARY moments, monsters and people in them.
And for a bookworm like me, the fact that all stories inside are somewhat related to a book club and books (surely that's not a spoiler) was just music for my ears ♥️
It was impressive the variety of magical stories that went into that anthology! There's a bit of Potter-like magic, some off-to-be-the-wizard magic, a smidge of the-worst-witch magic... It's all in there!
