I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This is a neat book of short stories in various genres that you will absolutely love. Annette Gisby immediately draws you into her world with each captivating story. When it’s over you’re so engrossed that you don’t want to leave. My favorite of the collection is The Witch Hunter. A young woman is accused of Witchcraft and she stands trial before a man she once loved. He saves her life and marries her, but when her daughter is born we get a huge surprise!

This was an interesting collection, with characters that draw you in. Unfortunately, some of the stories stop a bit too soon and it felt like it was a sample of a complete novel and you’re left wanting more. Some just don’t seem to come across as finished to me. Otherwise, they were fantastic and very imaginative.
