The Two Mothers
I really enjoyed this short story. Without spoiling the story for you, I will say I enjoyed the depth of the characters, and the emotions I felt where mixed. A feeling of despair, love, pain, and of self satisfaction crossed my thoughts reading this short. A mothers love for her child, and the desperation in her actions. A vampires desperation to mother a child. How two beings come together all for the love and protection of a child.
The Predator
This story, for me was probably the most relateable. I'm sure many can and will relate to this story.
As I myself have been through the same situation as the female character in this story. A male worker who is jealous, or wants attention from you is a definite relateable subject. Sexual or any harassment should never be tolerated from any male.
As the hunted becomes the hunter....
I really enjoyed how the story ended!
Vengeance
Another fantastic short, Vengeance says it all. Another woman being harassed this time by her husband, ruthless bastard that he is left her for dead but not before she is saved, by the ultimate predator.
A perfect payback as she shows him what it feels like to be tortured.
The other shorts are very well executed and you will breeze through this book in no time. 4/5 Stars
