I was very excited to see that we were going to receive an ARC of Hook & Ladder 69. It was AMAZING! It has 18 short
stories (none take more than 10-15 minutes to read) about the men &
women of Fire Station 69. I really liked that throughout the book you
saw the appearance of characters from previous chapters. I also liked that the stories definitely drew you into them. I feel like some of them left on cliffhangers...but I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that the author will choose to continue the stories!!!
Another things that was seriously wonderful about the book was that because it is a collection of short stories you are able to read a story or two, and if the real world comes a-calling you can stop and not feel like you stopped in the middle of a crucial moment and that you're dying to get back to it! (I mean it will definitely call you back to the story...but it has great stopping points!)
I only had read
2 of the authors from the book before, Kacey Shea and Mary Catherine
Gebhard. I definitely discovered some new authors that I'm dying to
check out soon! For me the best part of reading an anthology is the ability to discover new authors and see if you like their writing style! After I finished reading it I definitely went online and stalked several authors and their books have been added to my TBR.
A great aspect of the book (for me at least)
is that the proceeds are donated to The Burned Children Recovery
Foundation. There's nothing better than being able to indulge in your
hobby & be able to help someone at the same time...and lets be honest, I will always happily use any excuse to buy and read new books!
Please be sure to check out this book! It's currently available for 99 cents....you won't be disappointed!!! 
Until next time
between friends,
