Ratings and reviews

The 1st and the 3rd stories were awesome, the 2nd was okay the 4th was boring. Out Of Control by Alexandra Ivy was 4 1/2 stars in my opinion. In Still Darkness by Dianne Duvall was 5 stars awesome stories. The last story however is just a waste of reading time.

Give a couple amateur fan fiction writers a week to finish a hundred page short story and you'd probably get a simular quality of work. Ignoring all the gaping plot holes, cliches, plots so thick they drown the stories, nonexistent character development, and mind numbingly inaccurate science (I understand it's urban fantasy but at least get a base understanding of what you're talking about), the stories felt sloppy and rushed while there were brief glimpses of actual talent, it was buried deep.

On the last one was way too obvious who the murderer is but the others are ok. Not a book you read twice but it's ok.
