Hello, beautiful readers! The sun sets earlier, making the days seem shorter, and my days are so busy that I definitely feel that time has been robbed from my days. Still, I do my best to find time to read. I only made it through one book this month. I thought I'd finish the book I'm currently reading, but I'm not done just yet. I'll review that one next month.
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy
Pages: 250
Book Blurb:
Take a supernatural tour with this collection of contemporary fantasy stories. Read with an open mind and you just might begin to wonder if all things could be possible.
Are spirits hovering around us? Do ghosts watch over us? Are your pets communicating telepathically? Can card readers predict the future? Is it possible to see the little people? Do artifacts or fetishes have power? In this collection, the answer to all those questions is yes. But the real question is whether the stories are pure fiction or based on fact.
The Legacy: Lydia is a psychic. When her grandson becomes the catalyst for a spirit's plot to kill his mother, she joins forces with a natural witch to defeat the entity. As a battle rages, Lydia learns she has more power than she'd realized.

The Ancient Ones: After Brian and Tammy visit an antique shop, their lives are changed by a lion and a raven.
The Last Act: While renovating an old theatre, Carolyn is befriended by Jolene, an actress who haunts the building and who takes their friendship quite seriously.
My Review:
Every single one of these stories were fabulous! They all focus on some kind of paranormal entity, which I loved. Not all of them end with a happy ending. Well, I guess it depends on which character you are rooting for. Lol! Each story is captivating. The characters are well created, even though these stories are short. The plot moved smoothly and kept me wanting to turn the pages. This author is a master storyteller, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal stories! :-)
Have you read any great books this month? I'd love to hear from you. :-)
