I usually stay away from anthologies, since most of them only have one author that I actually enjoy the story. That definitely cannot be said about this book. I enjoyed each story from each author. Although a couple of the stories had parts of the story line that were slightly predictable, the outcome ended up being a complete surprise and twist. The two stories that truly had my jaw dropping were by Lisa Watson and Michelle Rayford. I had to re read just to be sure I read it right.
I am also happy at the fact that Pat G'orge Walker is writing again, and Aunt Peaches with her wacky self needs her own stories. I can only imagine what other antics she can get into. Each story was enjoyable and some of them need full length books. This was a great anthology, and a great job was done by all.
The collection of stories by each Author was short with wavering plot developments. Each Author 's writing style was unique, some stronger than others. However if you're looking for variety and wanting to discover new authors this collaboration is for you
Spice was just as nice as Sugar. I was introduced to some authors I'd never had the pleasure of reading until now. I was actually looking for one more short story when I realized I was at the end of the book. Doesn't get any better than that!
A nice selection of short stories by various authors. All of the stories were good but I particularly like that last one. If you don't mind reading a few stories in one book, you will enjoy this one.
