I do read anthologies and collections and I know some readers don’t care so much for them. I hope you will still take a look see. You might just find a hidden gem.

GOODREADS BLURB

Five tales where life takes a turn for . . . well, you decide.

Bed of Thorns – She’s rich. She’s bored. Time for some excitement. Little does she know where her latest relationship with someone a tad too young and handsome will lead.

In His Shoes – How do you get even when justice isn’t served? And if you succeed, what then? In the end life seems to have a way of working these things out for all concerned.

R.I.P. Katherine Colton – A screen siren who committed suicide in 1970 is celebrated even today. But the question lingers. Did she kill herself? This movie star’s greatest fan just has to know.

The Miracle – If you want something bad enough — like being the person you’ve always admired — can your wish come true? Maybe so. But not necessarily in the way you think.

Skyglow Undercover – He’s sent undercover in what used to be one of New York City’s grandest hotels. Problem is, he knows nothing more than that. He’ll find out why, all in good time.

I love that cool cover and that’s probably why I grabbed it. Sometimes a quick read is just what I need and to have five stories in one book sounds like a treat to me. It may only have five reviews and ten ratings, but it has my caught attention. What do you think? Do you read anthologies and collections.

MY REVIEW

I have been following C A Verstraete for a little while now, and was ecstatic when she asked if I wanted to review Lizzie Borden: Zombie Hunter and my reply was a resounding…YES.

Want to know what really happened in the Borden household on that fateful night? It’s not what you’re thinking and I love what the author has done with this familiar story of murder and betrayal. Sooooo, be prepared for a savage tale of survival.

Lizzie Borden: Zombie Hunter by C A Verstraete was a lot of what I expected, but the author has treated me to some twists and turns, suspense and savage do or die fighting that makes this an action packed story that kept me flipping the pages.

I loved watching Lizzie grow and change throughout the story, becoming the zombie hunter she knew she could be. The battles to survive are savage, brutal, with blood and heads flying along with the bullets.

I wondered how Christine would twist the story, and a conspiracy fits very nicely.

I love the ending and want to see what happens in the next sword slashing, gun blazing zombie killer story.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Lizzie Borden: Zombie Hunter by C A Verstraete.

GOODREADS BLURB

Every family has its secrets…

One hot August morning in 1892, Lizzie Borden picked up an axe and murdered her father and stepmother. Newspapers claim she did it for the oldest of reasons: family conflicts, jealousy and greed. But what if her parents were already dead? What if Lizzie slaughtered them because they’d become zombies?

Thrust into a horrific world where the walking dead are part of a shocking conspiracy to infect not only Fall River, Massachusetts, but also the world beyond, Lizzie battles to protect her sister, Emma, and her hometown from nightmarish ghouls and the evil forces controlling them.
