I was sent a arc of this book via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
This was a rich and diverse selection of stories. There were some that I didn't enjoy as much as others but I still appreciated the message they represented. From the front cover and the first story I was expecting more of a horror/sci fi theme so I was a bit disappointed that this wasn't the case with most of them. However I did enjoy the collection for what it was. My favourites were:
'Brody's Family Secret'- the sweetness of first love and the humour of the 'secret' and how Brody reacted to it was really enjoyable.
'The Foxes' -mostly because of the title but also because I loved the creepy atmosphere.
'Salvage' - this was one of the most interesting to me and I would really like to read another story to find out more about the events before this story.
'The Unit' - I really liked the comparison with the myth of Heracles and Hylas.
