Like a Charm

“Like a Charm” is a great collection of short-stories from writers such as Karin Slaughter, John Connolly, Mark Billingham and Lynda La Plante. A charm braclet is central to all the stories,with each one focusing on a particular charm.

I hated it. I read the first 3 or so stories, then skipped ahead to Kelley Armstrong's contribution, since she's the only reason I picked up the book.

If you like dark stories, almost horror but no gore, this book is for you. Otherwise, steer clear. I like the idea of interconnected stories, but I don't need so much of the bleak.
