Another great poetry book, with short stories sprinkled in. Her poems are based on a variety of subjects, with different perspectives. This keeps it interesting, since you don’t know what the next one will be about. I loved the addition of the short stories. My favorite was The Reunion. I wanted to read more!!!

"Duality" written by S.V. Brosius is a collection of moving poetry and romantic short stories. This collection is geared towards an adult audience with its steamy romantic short stories.

[Jennifer Shirah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a wonderful collection of both poems and short stories. The poetry covers a variety of themes, all of which are easily relatable. Fingerprints is my favorite from the poetry selections. The short stories gave me Black Mirror vibes and I believe any of them could be fleshed out into novellas. I enjoy this author's writings and look forward to reading more from her.
