This was a fun book to read even though it was about the seriousness of PTSD. Even though the characters are successful people in their careers, they showed that it doesn't matter where you are or who you are, PTSD can still affect your life tremendously.

Charlie is a top-notch attorney who seems to have it all - the luxury apartment, the beautiful sports car and women throwing themselves at him. But he has a secret that pushes him to continue to strive for success. When he receives a homicide case to work on, it hits close to home and he has to struggle with his part and his secrets. Tory is his sister's best friend and an ER doctor. She's seen it all. She and Charlie have been friends for several years and even though they flirt with each other, it never goes farther. Can she help Charlie work through his problems with his past and will their love continue to grow or diminish due to his secrets?

Even though this was the 6th book in the Hollywood Light series, I read it as a standalone with no problem. I enjoyed it so much that I plan to read the beginning books in the series.

Disclaimer: I received this book for free from LibraryThing in return for an honest review.

The theme of this anthology of short stories for young adults is secret and lies and is written by various authors living in the Southern United Stated. All the stories are well written with an interesting twist. The last story is more like a novella then a true short story however I found it to be intriguing. It made me want to know more about the world it takes place in. Overall I really enjoyed reading these stories, I was sad when the book ended. My favorite story was "The List" but they were all very good.… (mehr)

I'd like to thank Blue Crow Publishing and Librarything from choosing me to review this book early.

It is hard to rate short story collections, especially when each story is different and written by different authors. In saying this I did actually enjoy almost all of the stories, except one.

The one I didn't like is the last story in this book. I didn't think it was well-written and I thought some of the story was a little ridiculous. The concept itself was very interesting, I just thought it could be better written.

I highly recommend the read though! The other stories are fantastic.… (mehr)
