Femmes du cosmos

But nothing which distracts the reader from the story line Who will like this Any fans of horror and the dark side A solid four stars English This Book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review This is a compilation of very dark stories focused around various women in some very unusual situations. Femmes du cosmos The writing is well done and as with all collections there are some that definitely resonate with you than others Over all I enjoyed the style and think that this new to me author has a very interesting voice and I will definitely be looking out for work from her but I have to say that there were a couple of the stories that were too short for me and really had potential Bonnie and Clyde is the one that really stands out I don t think that would have been my choice to start the compilation because it is almost over before it begins. Femmes du cosmos ng English First time reading this author so only thing I knew it wasn t what I read mostly but still do like to read other like mystery and horror Started reading knowing it was a collection of stories and after the first one just kept zipping through them This might be fiction but let me tell you I could see alot of this coming as it could really happen Dark side of sarcasm and well flowing stories I suppose it could be said if you ever liked The Twighlight Zone these would be right up your alley but with realism twist Always expect the unexpected is very good as in these But one thing I liked the most is who the heros were.

Femmes du cosmos com site_link A Beyond 5 Stars Holy cow this book hooked me It hooked me and I read it in like 2 days and I m a major failure for taking so long to get this review up but it s up now and I need to shout I LOVE THIS COLLECTION These stories are so good so different and so well written Each one was a new adventure and when it ended I was sad. Femme du chocolatier until I started the next one I thought that this collection s theme was so interesting and so twisted I couldn t help but want to read it right away I was not disappointed not in the slightest Each female was such a bad ass in her own right dealing with people who were putting them down but not every story had a HEA either They are just stories of females trying to do the best they can and being blocked each and every way The style of this collection is wonderful and really shows how incredibly versatile Kristen Duvall is She wrote each story and doesn t stick to the same style at all but goes to all the right places for the stories It pulls you in each story I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen and some stories are downright creepy. Femme du chocolatier You need to read this collection no questions I was given a ecopy as a part of blog tour All opinions are my own English I started reading this book on vacation so it took me a little longer to get through it than normal but it was a great read I tend to prefer longer stories whole books to allow for character and plot development but this was a fantastic collection of short stories Horror and suspense are my favorite genre so it was great to have such a wide variety of stories whose commonality was a page turning amount of those two themes. Femme du chocolatier I look forward to reading from this author English I enjoyed all of the short stories in this collection The characters stood out and the descriptions gave the collection an eerie feel While I enjoyed them all my favorites were The Fallout The Evil Ones and Sated In the Fallout I felt Mallory s frustration knowing what was going to happen but not being heard by the adults The same type of feeling came from the Evil Ones the old woman knowing that her helping the couple s young son would lead to her own demise Sated reminded me of Stephen King s Cycle of the Werewolf with a touch of Frankenstein I recommend the collection and look forward to from Kristen English The end is never what we imagineWhat a ride This is a great collection of fifteen short horror suspense stories Usually when reading something of the magnitude authors have a way of unknowingly repeat plots in stories Not in this work Kristen Duvall pulled this off without any pitfalls One reviewer made mention of a comparison with Twilight Zone episodes That is spot on Each story is unique and stands on its own with no difficulty Brilliant My favorite was Bonnie and Clyde Why I never saw the end coming. Femmes du cosmos My least favorite was The Price You Pay I felt this one was unresolved in the end There are some punctuation issues and few sentences need some work the smart ones the ones who could not be hookwinked or took charge I will say my favorite was the little girl and at the end the question she asks her dad and I wanted to say you go girl You see I liked these because I myself can have these same trains of thought in the what ifs and don t pull any punches She really has it going on with this book and the unique stories contained within Received an arc for a honest review English Short story collections are a mixed bag both within themselves and across the whole genre They often have a very mixtape feel to them taking on varied tones genres and themes Sometimes this can have a jarring effect if the sequence isn t carefully chosen or a disjointed feel when one or two stories feel drastically different from the rest Thankfully Kristen Duvall s collection Femmes Du Chaos does not suffer too much from it A wicked and twisted series of tales some of which are endowed with a grim sense of humor Femmes Du Chaos starts on the outrageous side and keeps charging forward Some of the stories are unrelentingly grim The Fallout The Chosen One Irreversible and can be hard to take but are intense and vividly written Others are real classics My favorites were Like Father Like Daughter Magic Shoes and the closer for the collection a dystopian horror story titled The Price You Pay Some of these felt like ideas that could ve become entire novels but the author delivered them as fully realized and carefully constructed stories that left me wanting It s not often that short stories feature such interesting yet economical world building I will definitely need to check out by Duvall as Femmes Du Chaos feels like a taste of what she could do with pages Given it s grisly content and often despair filled moments it may not be to everyone s taste but I certainly enjoyed it English I first came across Kristen Duvall through the LJ Idol competition in season 6 She s one of the earliest friends I made in the game in part because I had come to enjoy her non fiction stories about her life I just loved her humour and attitude As time went on she started writing fiction too which was very different from tales of her life but also enjoyable I think all but one of the stories in this collection are stories I recognised from the competition though naturally they have been edited in some way or another since I first came across them. Femmes du cosmos What I noticed about this collection is that Kristen has a knack for portraying children and young adults in her stories though not all of her protagonists can be classified as such I think the reason they stood out for me is because I don t really write those age groups myself There is a good variety of tales in the collection from horror to dystopian to paranormal to fantasy and other variations of speculative fiction. Femmes du cosmos My favourite stories in the collection were The Price You Pay I just love the way Kristen deals with the poorest people in her fiction and this is a good example of that Though this works well as a stand alone story I would love to see it expanded upon in a novella or something even longer Fire in the Sky a brilliant dystopian world where it is prophesied that the sun will explode and everyone believes it Two of a Kind it can be a little torturous to read about the pain experienced by the characters but it s really well told Devils and Darlings this is one of the disturbing child protagonist stories The Trails I ve Walked because when I read it the first time and again now I felt like it could really be a true story. Femme du chocolatier There are actually a few pretty disturbing stories about the sickest humans you can imagine especially in The Chosen One and if you knew Kristen you d probably wonder how someone who seems so innocent could come up with such ideas but I think that s part of what I love about them I couldn t write stories like that but I m impressed that she can disturb me in such a way Oh and I also really liked at how well she wrote her mother characters being a mother myself I felt like I could really connect with them and their experiences. Femmes du cosmos Lastly I liked that Kristen included excerpts from her upcoming novels I m particularly excited by the Princess and the Piper one The excerpt is such a great teaser and I can t wait to read the full story N. Femmes du cosmos B Kristen is a good friend of mine and she included me in the acknowledgements of the book so feel free to disregard my review if you re not a fan of seeing friend reviews English This book is a collection of many stories Yes the stories are a bit dark and some a bit realistic than others The main theme through out the stories was the strong and determined women in each I like that they are take charge women and they go through quiet a lot They were well written short stories and I think a few could be made in too actual books I have to say I did find some of those stories a bit disturbing twisted and dark for my taste Overall it was a good book not my usual cup of tea but good none the less and well written English I mainly purchased this because the author is an online friend of mine and I am always up for supporting my friends That is not to say I hadn t read any of her writing before because I did and I was looking forward to reading because I had liked what I d seen very much so. Femme du chocolatier The book drew me into it from the moment I started reading The twist of the first story brought a smile to my face and I couldn t wait to know what happened in the other ones They did not disappoint I realized later on that I had already known two of them but it didn t take away from the entertainment at all. Femmes du cosmos Kristen has a very unique style of writing and a sense of humour that shines through even despite the morbidity of a lot of the stories Even when there s hopelessness her characters always stay endearing and strong without seeming unrealistic The only negative was this being such a thin book I want to read D English
