Review: Tales From the Treasure Trove - Volume 1

TALES FROM THE TREASURE TROVE –VOLUME ONE
by Anthology (12 authors)

TWELVE DISTINCTIVE AUTHORS offer new, short, exciting Tales from the Treasure Trove--each featuring a sparkling jewel!

TWELVE COMPELLING CHARACTERS discover romance, magic, suspense, second chances, true love, and the supernatural.

TWELVE ENTERTAINING SITUATIONS feature reincarnated lovers, thieves, vampires, angels, musicians and blind dates, mysterious jewels, masks, worlds...and even dragons!

In the anthology TALES FROM THE TREASURE TROVE – VOLUME ONE, the characters, unique to each of the stories they inhabit, come alive for the reader. The various styles of the twelve writers in this book give the reader a wide range of stories – paranormal, ghost, futuristic, contemporary, historical, etc. all with heartwarming romance.

A gemstone theme ties the stories together. Magic, legends and superstition lure the reader into a variety of environments. Some of the stories like “Turquoise Mask” and “Peridot Moon” vibrate with danger while stories like “The Amethyst Angel”, “Garnet Light”, and “Bloodstone Cure” lift the reader’s heart with hope and inner peace. Humor and the improbability of “The Best Kind of Opals” brings smiles and an ‘oh, come on’ feeling of shared fun.

Greed is the most predominate of the Seven Deadly Sins but LOVE overrides the bad to give the reader a happy-ever-after ending. Only one of the stories didn’t end the way I wanted it to. If one looks closely enough, there is a lesson about living in each story along with romance.

These accomplished writers have joined together to create a book to read without putting down. After a cover-to-cover read, you'll want to pick it up and read it again and again as times goes by. This is a book to be prized for your library of “keepers”.
