Paranormal Anthology with a TWIST von Rene Folsom
Disclaimer: I'm not sure if I got this as a freebie, a giveaway, or purchased it, but it was next on my to read list: I stayed up late nights over a weekend to read this book... each story was diverse enough from the others so that they didn't bleed into each other's theme. Great collection of stories, well written, I'm going to read it again soon to catch the bits I know I missed as I was not expecting most of the twists!
I received a free copy for an honest review.
The Gathering is set in post-apocalyptic Santa Monica. The survivors, living in colonies based on religious beliefs, travel to Lia Fail every six months to attend what I consider to be the equivalent of a fair to remember lost ones and allow everyone an opportunity to catch up on news. It also serves as the backdrop for the numerous romances that take place in this story. It is a happy time for everyone, but a sinister plot from an unseen enemy threatens to destroy everything.
This book has a bit of everything – romance, magic, imps and even unicorns. It also has a lot of characters, many of which are unnecessary. As such, it takes some time for the story to begin because the majority of these characters are introduced in the first part of the book.
The story itself is very good. The villain, The Shape, is an intriguing character as are his followers. Many reviewers seem upset by their disturbing actions, but I think it serves a useful purpose in depicting their evil nature.
Overall a good read.… (mehr)

I enjoyed this story. The characters where funny and likable. It was a fun and easy read. I am looking forward to seeing how the journey continues in the second book.
