Book Reviews by Lynn

I received a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.This is a super little collection of short contemporary stories with twisted endings. I loved it!There are eight short stories that each start off innocently enough, but the ending has a slight twist that catches the reader unaware. The eight stories are: Too Good To Be True, Having Everything, Chatting Up Cathy, Act of Love, The Special Offer, A Fateful Error, The Job and Living In The Country. Every story was well written and kept me turning the pages. It is difficult to say which of these stories I liked more, as they are equally good. However, I would have to say that I enjoyed Chatting Up Cathy, The Special Offer and Living In The Country. I was completely entertained by these stories, and they have left me looking forward to reading the other 3 books in the series.John M.W. Smith has written an entertaining anthology that had me smiling and surprised at some of the outcomes. I recommend this book if you are looking for a quick and entertaining read, or if you love anthologies. - Lynn Worton
