Review: A Side Tale Along the Main Story to Shudderville
Rating: 4 out of 5

Shudderville 12, as the title indicates, is the 12th story in an episodic tale that is kind of like a Netflix for ebooks. You can watch/read as these stories are published or you can binge read. I suggest binge reading...and starting at the beginning. But if you do happen to jump into the series, this one is as much as "stand alone" as these episodes get, though with an unresolved ending. So don't expect a novel here - this is a serial tale that keeps unfolding with twists and interconnecting/developing characters and storylines - much to this reader's delight.Episode 12 concerns Ruby (the unborn child whom Ben saves as a little kid - and who I think had her dad turn the boat around off of Florida years later to save Ben and his family adrift at sea, but don't quote me) and her friend Evan as they seek out Tobias to reverse their wishes. A few of these last stories concern the players' desire to return to normal after their wish (literal in nature) backfired on them. While this was an interesting tale, it was a side street more than a main road where the plot is concerned. Still, well written and nicely done.
