To have loved and lost

As the title of the book implies this is a love story with a spooky twist. Also there is only one story even though it mentions collection. For such a short book it definitely packs a lot of story in to it, but for me there wasn't enough love or scare to affect me one way or the other. It was a beautiful story, just wasn't a moving as I think it should have been. I did enjoy the premise of the story and think that if perhaps it were a little bit longer it could have developed to a really good love or scary story as opposed to just a middle of the road scary love one. Hopefully this isn't a testament to me being a curmudgeon.

The emotional connection I felt to the main character was largely due to the emotion that Billow was able to convey in her narration. I felt the love in her tone more so then I did from the writing. She really did a great job and I hope to hear more from her, especially after hearing her demon voice.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. .

A Brief, Dark, Love Story

I love short stories, the ability to fit them into a single listen is a big win and this half-hour long tale was easy to digest, indeed. If you had to free your love from a demon, what would you do? Well, I have no clue what I'd try. Listen to this and you'll have an inkling as to what might be done. I am not going to spoil the ending. This is well-narrated and superbly written. Enjoy it. Please Note: I received a review copy of this short. That doesn't mean that it influenced my opinion - it didn't, that's all my own.

Goosebumps

Scary Love is a short story of a love lost and a demon bound on capitalizing on the grieving pain of the one left behind. The story is interesting and creepy! The narrator did a nice job. I have to say, the demon voice made me sit up a little straighter and be thankful I had someone else in the room with me (it was near midnight when I started listening to this book).

Scary Love review

Short but well worth it. Had a good narrator. Five stars. Interesting, suspenseful ghost tales.

A short story about love and loss.

This was a short story about a woman who lost the love of her life. Their love remained even after he died and was trapped by a demon.... But how can a mortal like her save him? Listen and find out! I loved the story and only wished there was more. Scarlet's voice seemed to show the deep depression and loss of the main character, while Michael's wonderful writting brought a magnificent love and loss to life. Worth every penny.

Eternal Love

This relatively simple story of undying love is an enjoyable listen. A woman battles the supernatural to defend her husband’s soul.

The story speaks to resolute inner strength of the protagonist, as she sheds the constraints of her family’s reduced expectations due to her gender.

Scarlet Billow has a lovely voice with hints of a gentle growl. Her performance is pleasant to listen to.
