REVIEW BY PREETHI BOOK OBSESSED
4* stars
This anthology contains stories of five different women who come across five different types of supernaturals- werewolf, vampire, fae, ghost and Frankenstein monster and as the title of this book suggests, none of them have a very happy ending.
Spirit of the Wolf by Andrea Stanet
This story deals with Werewolves. Shifters are my most favourite of supernaturals. But, unfortunately this is the story I liked the least. Asia is caught between her attraction to her boyfriend Jesse and her friend Nati. She is also struggling against her spirit wolf being brought out.
Eternal Guard by Tina Smith
This story deals with Vampires. Farren is out to commit suicide one night, when she becomes an unwitting victim of a vampire fight, where one vampire is out to finish her and another one tries to protect her. Unfortunately, she ends up falling for one of those vampires. This story definitely leaves us with heartbreak. It does not end well. (That ending! So that's how the Buffy type vampire slayers are born!). However the author does a pretty good job of deliberately bringing a bleak voice to the story.
Into the Dark by Laurie Treacy
This story deals with Fae. Now, fae are one of my least favourite supernatural types. But, paradoxically, this is the story I enjoyed the most in this anthology. Holly returns home from college to find herself alone for two weeks during the holidays. When Holly and her dog Chewie stumbled across a wounded warrior and she takes him back to her home to heal him, Holly realises that the person she rescued was none other that the Summer Court Fae Prince. Thing start getting weirder and stranger soon after.
The Unspoken Truth by Leah Ryder
This story deals with Ghosts. Lena is a parapsychic consultant to the police department. Lena has always been able to see ghosts. In this story she helps to solve the case of Jessica Clayton, whose ghost has incidentally been hounding Lena to take up her case. While I enjoyed this story too, there were certain parts that felt too unbelievable. Unbelievable, but enjoyable just the same.
Spinining Scars by Alexia Purdy
This story is about the Frankenstein monster- yes, the one with no name. Only now he has been named, and is called Matthais. Matthais and Ruby fall hard for each other. But, they have a big hurdle to cross. He is an immortal and she is human. Or, is she? There is something to more Ruby than meets the eye.Now, this story was bizarre. But, hey I love bizarre stories, so that's good, I guess.
There are some parts of this anthology which feel rushed, some that make you want to raise an eyebrow and say, 'Really?' and some silly moments. However, if you love anything paranormal, you should give this anthology a chance. I found new authors whose other works I would love to read, after all!
