10 stories of speculative fiction with foreword by Lizzy Shannon, author of Time Twist. She says, "If you're like me you grew up with the Twilight Zone, Amazing Tales, and the original Dr. Who. Classy, complicated, character-driven plot lines. Leading characters that enthralled and fascinated. Tales told with surprising and unexpected outcomes. I've missed them. Until now."
This is a very strong collection of short stories. All 10 stories are well written and have some kind of twist or surprise in store for readers. I normally don’t read short stories but I’ve had the privilege of reading some of Bainbridge-Cowan’s pre-released work and have very much enjoyed her writing style. She never disappoints.
This book is no exception. From the very first story I was hooked. I never knew what was going to be lurking around the next page. A couple of the stories I had to re-read because I was so involved in the story that the ending took me completely by surprise and I had to read back to make sure I got the entire plot correct. It was like reading 20 stories instead of 10 there was so much going on.
I completely loved this book. It was fast paced and held so much to keep my attention I just couldn’t put it down. Bainbridge-Cowan is an excellent writer and I encourage anyone to get this book or any other that she has put out. You will be surprised, awed and fall in love with her characters just as I did.
