Loading ...Shadows In The Heart Halloween Anthology
Truly a new twist on old urban legends. This collection is everything I hoped it would be. Clever, spine-chilling stories that made me unable to stop reading. The characters are outstanding and unique. A great Halloween Anthology.
The Unvanished Hitchhiker by Margaret L. Carter (4.75 R.I.P.)
A new spin on an eerie urban legend. Not grisly but a cliffhanger making you eager to solve it. This is an addictive story. The ending made my heart leap.
When the Dead People Brought a Dish-to-Pass by Christine DeSemet (Dame Moonstone) (5.0 R.I.P.)
The story drew me in. Such unique characters. Halloween celebrating the lives of our loved ones who have passed on. This spooky parable is a real page turner.
Trick or Treat by Carrie S. Masek (Dame Topaz) (4.75 R.I.P.)
Enchanting story. Definitely for the whole family! The curls in story give new life to a seasoned tale. The characters were delectable, the writing is very vibrant. I watched the scenes in my head as the story unfolded.
White Elephants by C.J. Winters (Dame Tanzanite) (4.5 R.I.P.)
New spin about the abandoned house in town. Not the characters I expected, which was very refreshing for me. I was relentless until reaching the end. Having an unique ending left me very satisfied.
Papa by Karen Wiesner (Dame Amethyst) (5.0 R.I.P.)
The eerie tale of Hansel and Gretel has just gotten more chilling. Papa’s characters were unyielding individuals with strict beliefs. Just when I thought I had figured it out, the book turns and it throws all my first conclusions out the window. It kept me on my toes. This is a truly Halloween inspired revamp, to an old fairytale.
The Beast by Jane Toombs (Dame Turquoise) (4.5 R.I.P.)
The old Halloween Party. I was entertained. The characters were a perfect spin to the story. Even though this tale was brief it is well written. The ending is a cliffhanger, which is a delicious way to end this story.
Ghost of a Chance by Karen Woods (Dame Coral) ( 4.75 R.I.P.)
Romance is in the air even on a tragic Halloween. The characters are so real this could be your boss or even your best friend. From the start the author lays out the teasing scenes. It is packed with ghostly encounters, black cats and even a tragedy. This is a Halloween Romance if there ever was one.

I have that anthology and it is really good. I read it all in one weekend. I couldn’t put it down. The one about the widowed couple was really good, too.
