REVIEW

This was my first anthology read and I’ll tell ya, I can’t wait to pick up a couple more. What a wonderful idea to bring together a bunch of authors with different writing styles to one book… awesomesauce! I am not going to do individual reviews of each book/novella that was in this collection but in a nutshell the whole collection itself was a 4 star read.
There were a couple of stories in the collection that were so good, I couldn’t put the book down and a couple that I found a little slower to get into, but all in all, they were all great reads. My favorite part of reading this anthology was being able to read from authors that I haven’t had the pleasure of trying before and now I will be looking for in the future! The writing styles and stories from each author was different and refreshing. I enjoyed that the most.
So if you are looking for a great read with with a dark-love twist, The Obsidian Collection is a great anthology for you to try! I am definitely looking forward to the next collection and more from each author introduced in the collection.
