Lose yourself in five tantalisingly delicious bite-size
short stories that are filled with action, drama, crime and broken promises —
Scribbler Tales Presents: Escape from Berlin by Mary Ann Bernal is as
enthralling as it is addictive.
Bernal is an author who always delivers, and I was really
looking forward to diving into this anthology of short stories. All of the
stories in this collection are rich in detail and highly entertaining. Not only
are the stories immensely readable, but they are also impressively narrated.
This is an anthology that is not only bold in its delivery but immensely
successful as well.
Each of the stories in this collection read like a snap-shot
in time. What happened before, and what happens after, we are not always told,
but I think that is what makes this collection so exciting. Bernal is an author
who is fabulous at creating tension and anticipation in her writing. Bernal is
also very gifted at creating believable characters and situations. I thought
this collection was absolutely sublime, and I enjoyed every word, every
sentence, every syllable.
Escape from Berlin was a wonderful story to start this
collection. It is a desperate, heart-rending tale about war, loss, and
betrayal. This story really tugged at my heartstrings. The protagonist is so
brave and kind, which makes this story all the more heart-breaking. But it is
also a reminder that nothing is fair in love and war.
The second book in this collection, aptly named Betrayal,
tells the story of a woman who trusts her husband with her deepest darkest
secret. This story had me reaching for the tissues — it is such an emotional
story filled with fear, pain and a terrible sense of injustice. Bernal has
penned a story that is not only rich in content but also in historical detail.
I thought this story was simply brilliant.
Deadly Secrets is a story that is bursting with tension and
drama. This crime thriller is filled with mystery and plot twists. I enjoyed
this story very much, and I thought it was an excellent addition to the
collection.
I found myself swept away by the narrative as Murder in the
First hurtled towards its dramatic ending. I thought this story was tautly
gripping and incredibly engaging.
The final story in the collection is called The Ritual. The
Ritual was a fascinating story about a pagan cult. It is a desperate tragedy,
and it was one of the stories that really impressed me with its ingenuity. I
thought The Ritual was a fabulous story to end this collection with.
If you are a fan of thrillers, then I think you will find
Scribbler Tales Presents: Escape from Berlin by Mary Ann Bernal extremely
agreeable. I really did enjoy all of the stories in this collection, and I
cannot wait to read more from this very talented author.
I Highly Recommend.
