I was fortunate enough to be sent an ARC of 'Nine Lives' in return for an honest review. This is a short collection of nine stories so is ideal for dipping in to. They often have a twist in the tale but some don’t which adds to the interest. They are all entertaining and on different themes. ‘Angel’ for example deals with the perfect wife being tempted by another. ‘Shut up and dance’ where Paul says he’ll love Laura whatever her size has an ending which I loved even though it was predictable. ‘Mama kin’ is about different ways of bringing up children and is far less predictable. In all the stories, Terry Tyler, makes you believe in the characters. Some are funny, one or two are sad but all of them have a message which will stay with you long after you have finished the story.
