THIS IS A ARC REVIEW, and may have spoilers.

    Each short story was nice, but sadly left me very wanting. And, no, not in the, I want to find out more, kind of way. Do not get me wrong, I love short stories, and I love erotica. I am a sadomasochist, switch so I am down for the BDSM that comes in here and there. I liked that consent was spoken about at times, even safe words came up.

    At times though, there were parts that didn’t make sense, like maybe part of a sentence maybe missing, grammar issues. At other times, the words used didn’t always make sense, or things were not quite missing… But, like when describing a scene, things happened that were not spoke about, and other things that could easily go unnoticed were wrote about. There were times, that just made me feel like I was reading something on Tumblr, and not from an international bestselling author.

    I REALLY wanted to love these short stories. Because, the meat of the stories were not bad. Most of them are common tropes, and ideas, and I like those. But, for the most part, I just couldn’t. I would not highly recommend this set of short stories, but if you are looking for something on KU to read between other books… This might not be a horrible one to flip through.

    I will just have to try reading more of her content, and see if it is just this collection that just does not rub me the right way.

The Family, is one such group who makes sure these creatures, stay safe and hidden. Chuck is our FMC, and while she is tough, she is also caring. I really enjoyed seeing multiple women in this book who cold hold their own.      This book at times reminded me of Special Unit 2, the TV Show. In it you have cops who protect good cryptids, but Judge/Jury/Etc. ...
