Lisa Logan has written a tale of hypocrisy. Be careful what you speak against in the light of day while indulging in the same in the dark of night. I liked it.

The lonely custodial secretary of UC of Republic is always searching for rumors of the unusual happenings around the campus. Mr. Reginald Johns committed suicide on the 3rd floor of South Hall. The secretary investigates the rumor and finds more than she bargains for.

Jasper is a virtuous accountant who comes across his boss and his boss’s secretary in a compromising position. Later he dreams of himself in his boss’s place and his overbearing wife awakens him shocked at his body’s reaction. How can you police your dreams?
Norman A. Rubin has written a tale of virtual reality becoming reality, at least in Jasper’s mind it did. I felt for him after his wife got after him. I enjoyed this story.

Liana met the beautiful Nerissa over two hundred years ago on the Greek Island of Rhodes. They quickly become lovers and eventually Liana turns Nerissa with the Kiss of Darkness. Nerissa lures men to their cottage to survive.
Roxanne Rhoads has written a compelling story of wicked beauty with an ulterior motive. Every one who looks good is not good for you. I really liked this one.

Now after twenty years, he returns for a high school reunion and is once again dared to visit the witch’s house. What greets him this time is shocking because he can not remember what happened all those years ago.
D.L. Russell has written a spine-tingling tale of youthful sexual inexperience and the conniving of an older woman. I was quite surprised at the conclusion. Great Tale.

Paullina is a spirit who has found taking care of Walker quite fulfilling. Walker falls in love with the spirit. Why is she crying?
D. L. Russell has written a love story between an unloved spirit and an unloved man. It is nice when people, alive and dead, can find love. I felt for both characters.
Passion’s Cry by Adrianna Ravel
Jowena is married to the hunter Samuel Thyne who is hired to hunt down and kill the creature who inhabits the woods.
Edward Oldsmen is hired to assist with the hunt and instantly falls for the quiet Mrs. Thyne. She silently yearns for the younger hunter while he hides a secret from them all. Will she ever get her heart’s desire?
Adrianna Ravel has written a beautiful story about young love prevailing against overwhelming obstacles. I was not surprised by Edward’s secret but the conclusion was a nice ending.
This is quite a diverse collection of stories, each in their own way tells of some warning of dire consequences. The authors craft an individual world quickly and efficiently using minimum words with maximum impact. I would encourage all readers to check this anthology out.
