Reviews
"Nine authors and nine very different tales of the paranormal–that’s what you get in this spooky anthology! I love how anthologies let you get so many different short tales; even though there’s a similar paranormal theme, it’s fun to see read how widely different each tale is. I liked all the stories although a few more than others and the tales individually range from a 3 out of 5 to a 5 out of 5 for me. I’m recommending this to those who enjoy reading about the paranormal in short bursts! Overall, this anthology is a 4 out of 5 for me!
“Wished Away”–horror, ghosts, romance, college girl returning home to abusive household and getting a welcome surprise (one of my favorites in the anthology)."
