Review by: Marlene 549 on June 19, 2012 :
These four short stories have a person spellbound from the first word to the last. Each ending is a shocker!! Just make sure you have plenty of time to read because once you pick up the book you're going to have a devil of a time putting down until the end. Every book and short story Rick Mofina has written is an excellent read!!
