Is THAT what I just read?I'm curious. Which one of these stories gets to you. Which one is it that makes you go, "No. Freaking. Way. That's just—!!??!!!" Insert choice expression. For me, at some point during the story, every one of them did. Call me crazy (oh, pun intended) but I LOVED it!Now, one thing is for an author to bury herself so deep into the twisted psyches of the characters so as to pull me in and bring me along for the ride. Another is to do so in an accurate, skillful way. With literary precision. Logan Keys managed both. In the words of my teenage child, she did it—to the max!Short stories is an art form. It's completely different to writing a novel. As a reader, you get a snapshot. You're flooded with a  a vital, colorful moment in the characters' lives. You're thrown in, and then very soon catapulted out of it. And afterwards, if it's well done, you have the aftertaste of a sweet/tasty/bitter/hideous piece of candy you devoured real quick. In my case, I was left grinning. The first story—despite the horrific events—had me laughing out loud through the first half of it from the dry humor Ms. Keys flaunts. The second one, I had to actually use my BRAIN (God forbid), to figure out. The third one, in all its horrific detail, sucked me in and made me want to cry while the fourth story was just...magical.I'm into New Adult and romance, but boy am I glad I took a break with a couple of hours on the wild side. Yep, I just returned from the Twilight zone, and the trip was oh-so worth it. Yay!
