4.0

The Butterfly Effect and The Chaos Effect by Marieke Nijkamp - 2.5 stars. This story didn't work split into two, I read it as one whole which I would recommend.

A Ruthless Dame by Tim Floreen - 4 stars. Really enjoyed this one. A wicked revenge tale.

Look down by Robin Talley - 3.5 stars. Thought the protrag was a little dumb but I like a good ghost story.

Big Brother 1+2 by EC Carter -3.5 This story worked as a two parter because the first part is like what the fuck, this guy is terrible and then part 2 explains everything and it was so out there, I kind of liked it.

The Subjunctive by Alaya Dawn Johnson - 1 star. The worst story, it made no sense as nothing was explained at all, it was like seeing the middle of a story without a beginning and end, also it was boring.

A Cautionary Tale by Stephanie Kuehn -4.5. Definetely one of my faves of the collection. It was so interesting and a very good short thriller story.

Jackie's Story by Justina Ireland-4. Very interesting, I'm a sucker for a good criminal story.

Self-Portrait by Brandy Colbert-3.5. Couldn't connect to Sunday as a person but her story was interesting enough.

A Violation of Rule 16 by Suzanne Young-5 stars. It was such a bad ass, fuck the patrichary story. I want to know more about this girl because damm. (also would win the prize for best story).

Narrator by Shaun David Hutchinson-4.5 I loved the in-between parts of them hiking and thier reactions to the story told, it really made it feel less lke an anthology and more like a actual story. The only thing it wasn't a five, was the ending.
Spoiler I wanted to know who would win.


Overall rating was 3.6 so rounded up to four since I couldn't put it down once I got into it.
