thoroughly enjoying these books!
Independent reviewer fro BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 4 in the Pretty Deadly Things series, and I do recommend that you read these books in order. There is an ongoing plot arc, that is referenced but not fully recapped.

I found this one a bit darker that the other 3, and they have all had darker undertones, but this one hit me a little different. I'm not really sure why, but Book Feelings, people, I'm all about the Book Feelings!

Ozzy rescues Salem from a trafficking ring. Then it all spirals out of control and Ozzy and Salem are running, her father has surfaced after years and there is a shock for all involved.

What I'm iking about these books is, I can see the net closing in, around this traficking ring they are all trying to pull down. Slowly, but it's still closing. Things move fast in this book, with a few twists and turns I really did not see coming! Seriously, those twists were pulled out of nowhere and I was like, say WHAT NOW??

I've tagged this book as happy for now, because Ozzy and Salem's story feels unfinished. And I think their HEA will come in the next book. There are some things that need concluding, and they aren't here.

There is a sneak peek at the next book. BAr the first line, I did not read it. I will read the book when it comes out, but I didn't want to be left hanging for Lord knows how long!

I'm thoroughly enjoying these books, this author. While they are all very similar, they are sufficently different to keep me entertained.

4 very good stars

Not really for me.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is a short story collection, with tales of reaping what you sow. Of being held accountable for your actions, whether recent or a long time ago.

I think what I struggled the most with was this: the whole book is 85 pages, and there are 24 stories in this collection. So they are VERY short, some only a page or two. And I wanted to get my teeth into them a little more, but couldn't.

Each story is well written, from various points of view. Some are aacrier than others but I read them all. I didn't find myself with a favourite, though. I didn't see any spelling or editing errors to spoil my reading.

It really was just the SHORTNESS of all the stories, that I struggled with. I was just getting into them, and boof! All finished.

What I wanted to know, was where did the mirror come from? How did it come to be in everyone's presence?

I am curious to read something else by this author. Something longer and deeper. I tried to read another short collection some time ago, but didn't get very far with that one and it was only coming to write this review that I clicked it was the same author. So reading a longer book, will tell me one of two things: I like this author, but only their longer work; or this author is not for me. Time will tell.

I did finish the collection, and was suitably cringed at some of them, so:

3 good, but maybe not for me, stars
