Overall this collection is pretty good. Most of the stories have a crime theme providing a generous supply of dead bodies, while few (if any) have something supernatural or unknown to contend with. A couple of the stories involve animals and I think I enjoyed these the most. The first "Moving In" seems to be heading in one direction, but then takes an unexpected turn as an age old phobia drops in out of nowhere. The second "Celebrity" stays right on track as the inevitable train wreck the main character seems determined to make of her life approaches. Also liked "Moving On" another big twist and a nice unsettling read. All the stories are -1) New Beginnings (8/10) A father to be struggles to stay focused during a bumpy late night dash to the hospital.2) Vigilante (7/10) A wannabe crime fighter finds that competition is fierce in his line of work.3) Moving In (9/10) When a woman inherits an ex-hoarders house she soon finds that it comes with its own creature comforts.4) Caretaker (8/10) A caretaker starts to pay particular attention to one of the women in his building.5) Moving On (9/10) When a wife's jealous behaviour gets out of control, some time away is the last resort.6) Celebrity (9/10) A talentless model finds that fame can just as easily bite back when she gets a wild idea for her next performance.7) Dying To Be Popular (7/10) A student who pretends to be a vampire to get dates realizes that the stakes have just gone up.8) Hunger Pains (7/10) A famous food critic finds his early retirement hard to stomach.I liked some stories more than others but overall they are pretty good, and I would read more of this series (I think there are at least three more T&S; books out there) so twisting again shouldn't be a problem.
