I probably should not say this. Screw, it no secert I am a werido. The cover of the book I like! It sad to hear that this is a waste. There should be a law with authors having awesome covers and horrible book. Kudos with your review! You rock again!

That was a great review. I am sorry the short stories feel short. Sometimes it is rough to give a poor review but how is a writer going to grow and fix their mistakes if they are never pointed out? I like to think that the authors look at our reviews and see what they can do to make it better. There was one book that I reviewed, I was so excited to read it but it failed. If the author got some story and grammar editing I would definitely read it again.

Thanks for warning me off from the book. I do love horror books (reading them at night with a small light in the room only), but if they're not scary or good, then what's the point of them being horror? I really enjoyed your review, btw!

That’s a problem nowadays with several books, the editing. Thanks for your review on this one!!! out of my reading list.

If you want a good horror / paranormal book I would recommend Agadorah: Devil’s breath. I bought it on a deal on Amazon weeks ago. Really engaging and creepy. Let me know what you think.

Will look out for it and get back to you when I have the chance. A good horror is always fun to read.

Thanks for the honesty. Your review got my hopes up at first but then they all went down. However the last story sounds like worth reading. Hope it won't discourage the author and he will take it as positive criticism.

Congrats on being able to finish the book! I had signed up to read it for a review, but I just could not make it through the book. I agree with you that the stories (the few I read) were rushed and under-developed. The lack of editing was too much for me!
