Review
I was given this book by author for honest review. Strangers thrown together, a future time, moon-called werewolves, neighbors not what they seem, and sci-fi in one collection All very interesting short stories that will fire up your imagination and leave you wanting more. Good thing there is more volumes to devour.
Featured in the Second Volume:
CAL: A young man challenges his father after
falling in love with a cybernetic life form.
The Terrible, Perfect Duet: Cicadas, insomnia, and high school. What could possibly be more horrifying?
Helios: As humanity flees the wrath of Earth's dying Sun, a daughter's quest to claim her birthright jeopardizes the chance to escape.
Encrypted: Spies. Codes. Murder. A thriller about a man on the run – hiding a secret that others would kill for.
Lighting the Sacred Way: Set during the time of the Roman Empire, a woman tries to vanquish the evil spirit residing within her. One that arrived on the day her husband was murdered.

Review
I was given this book by author for honest review. Three stories of rebelling against parent/authority, one of spies hiding secrets, and one of haunted possession. As with the first volume of this series the stories are entertainingly imaginative.
Featured in Third Volume are:
Tooth and Nail: "I yanked off my last remaining
fingernail, crying out. My ragged toothless gums, my bruised fingertips, the
calloused ends of my toes ached in response. There was nothing left to give.
This would be the last time."
Downstage: "I would sell my soul to the hot angel of freakin’ death to have Bonita back here next to me in the dark. Another chance to push her. I’ll show her real acting when I weep and scream as she drops."
The Edge of Insanity: "We tried to fight, but how can you fight something with no form, with no body? We tried to run, but there was nowhere to go. All we could do was hide."
Skin on Skin: "A split second to him becomes a lifetime for me. The first thing that comes clear is the rage. Intense. Consuming. My body shakes with it. My vision blurs."
Transformations: "The more he considered the odd shafts of light, the more he was sure it wasn't coincidence that he was seeing them on the equinox. And if that was the case, they meant something. Pointed to something."

Review
I was given this book by author for honest review. I found the third volume just a little bit different than the first two. The short stories still a form of sci-fi paranormal horror that kept me entertained.
