MY REVIEW
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

To begin my review, I’d like to point out the information presented on page 4 of this book:

*All author royalties from the sale of this anthology will be donated to East Surrey Domestic Abuse Services and Rights of Women*

How amazing is that!?  Right off the bat I knew that I was going to love this book! Full stop.

Now on to the content. This anthology was so much fun! Most of these authors I have not read before but several of them will be making my TBR list in the future.

These short stories were so engaging. In only a few short pages, crimes or murders occurred, mysteries were solved and sweet revenge plots unfolded.

I found my jaw-dropping on a couple of stories with shocks I didn’t see coming, a few sharp intakes of breath here and there and even one or two fist pumps in the air (don’t we all cheer for a revenge murder now and again?).

I can’t even list out my favorite short stories from this book as there were way too many and the list would be too long.

Is it at all surprising that I read this in 1 day?  Not to me.  This is a 5 star Anthology.  If you are a fan of mystery/crime thrillers and love the variety that anthologies bring, this is a great book to add to your collection!
