My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection. One of my favorite things is that each story was a bit different than ones I’ve read before.

But all these are great and who doesn’t love finding a collection of stories?! Four big stars and Highly recommended!
