Review: Good Collection of Stories
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was a good collection of short stories.  Gary Ponzo, Dani Amore and Rick Murcer are 3 authors I'm more familiar with; I've read many of their other books and I like their writing style.  I enjoyed their stories the most but in all, the shorts worked well as a collective.By far "A Lethal Connection" (Ponzo) was my favorite.  It developed quickly, characters descriptively introduced, built in suspense to the climax and ended well.  It was different, kind of sad but hopeful at the same time. As a short story the author truly kept it short:  he got to the point quickly without losing any critical information or disrupting the story's flow.  If this story had stood on its own, I would have rated it higher than the 3-stars for the collection.I do like the idea of a set of short stories by different authors.  It's a good way to be introduced to new writers, sample their work and enjoy additional writing styles.Nice.
