If you’re interested in stories where the victim comes out victorious or where the villain gets what’s coming to them, then you will enjoy this anthology. Let’s read to stop violence against women.”
Blog Tour Review #5: As Told By Bex Reviews Giving The Devil His Due (29 April 2022)
Check out book blogger Bex/Becca’s book blog As Told By Bex where she has published a fabulous review of the anthology. She writes: “I want to give credit to every single author for the way they handled writing stories that center around violence against women and the way justice is served for all of the abusers in these stories. Revenge comes in different forms in Giving the Devil His Due; some with a simple weapon and others with help from spirits. All of the stories in this collection bring something new to the table, while simultaneously serving as a message about the same important topic. This is definitely a collection worth reading.”
