Kristi's Reviews > The Other Side

I apologize for the lateness of this review. I actually read it March 14 to March 15, but misplaced the paper I was reviewing each individual story on.

3.2 stars average for all 5 stories combined.

Possession in Death by JD Robb: 4 stars. I always enjoy JD Robb. I especially enjoyed seeing Eve try to cope with things that are out of her element. She's such a strong character, that to see her fumble with this ghost, even just a bit, had its humourous moments.

The Other Side of the Coin by Mary Blayney: 2 stars. This story was done with a Freaky Friday kind of theme, except that it was a swap between a husband and wife. There was so much potential for this to be truly hilarious, but it came out as mediocre at best.

The Dancing Ghost by Patricia Gaffney: 4 stars. This one was absolutely delightful. The 2 main characters are cute, mischievous scamps that make you love them just because they are how they are. Though the cousin was absolutly loathsome. Which means this was excellent writing to flesh out the characters so completely in such a tiny amount of time.

Almost Heaven by Ruth Ryan Langan. 3 stars. What a sweet story! Langan's idea that spirits can stay for just a little while to visit from time to time, just to make sure they're families are doing okay, is such a nice idea. Better than the creepy ideas that they hang around forever (ugh, seeing all that personal stuff). Charm does eventually crack and show its true form.

Never Too Late to Love by Mary Kay McComas. 4 stars. The 3 sisters were absolutely great! They were quirky and fun almost the whole time. Though they did have their serious moments too. And Ryan. What a sport! His determination and his ability to laugh was terrific. A very enjoyable story. Great quote about families in here too.
