Better than other short story compilations

This is the second book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another. Each story was unique, entertaining and thought provoking . She is very talented and seems to have a knack for short stories.

I’ve previously listened to Sewing Can be Dangerous and Other Small Threads. This is also a collection of short stories, however they are longer than the ones in this book. They were well thought out, historical, and had a common thread of “sewing”. Very enjoyable!

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator and I would listen to another. She did well narrating each story.

There are no explicit sex scenes, or excessive violence. I don’t recall any swearing.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Short Stories with a slightly dark twist

The subtitle for this book is true, nothing is ever what it seems. Short stories, in order according to word length, that make you think, pause or maybe even shudder. My favorite story was about the twins who enjoyed changing places...even after they were adults. The narration was just right for the stories and characters. Thoroughly enjoyed this listen and look forward to more from this author.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Variety of thought provoking short stories

Here you will find a variety of short stories that leave you thinking. Some are a little more complicated than others with plenty of twist and turns and unexpected endings. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.
