I definitely recall the Hellcat story being my favorite one.

[Nicole · Rating 1 out of 5]

Read this because I received it in the mail for free for winning a drawing on here...first book I ever won for free, and it pretty much sucked, which was very disappointing. I remember during parts of the book going, "Wait a minute, who's this character all of a sudden..." or "wait, when did this part come in, I don't get it?" It just didn't flow very well. Eventually I figured out it was supposed to be a collection of stories, but each story was only about 10 pages, which didn't seem to me like long enough to write a story with any deep meaning. The last story, if I had to pick, was the only one I thought had potential...it was about a lady who comes back from the dead and meets her son again, and her son has a feeling that he knows who she is...but again, it just didn't have the right flow. I'm really hoping to win another book drawing soon, but hopefully this time it will be one I actually ENJOY reading.
