Masquerade: Oddly Suited by L. G. Keltner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Do you enjoy stories about acting? How about softball or history or many other topics. In MASQUERADE ODDLY SUITED, An Insecure Writer’s Support Group Anthology, you’ll find a little bit of everything.
First, we have Oddly Suited by L.G. Keltner, where we meet five teens that are making a video to find out if it’s true that opposites really attract. It’s interesting what a video and a kiss can do.

Next is Behind the Catcher’s Mask by Jennifer Lane.
In a charity co-ed ball game with both baseball and softball players, the teens learn a lot about playing together as well as about each other.

Fearless Heart by Deborah Solice
This story takes place at Gettysburg Battlefield, where echoes of the battle fought there still live today. A girl’s visit to the park, an accident years ago, and a man wearing the Union blue make for an interesting tale. Will history repeat itself? And will you learn to follow your heart?

The Dark Charade by C. D. Gallant-King
Are you into vampires? If so, you sure want to read this story about a boy that digs up graves and a girl that believes he’s a vampire. Is she right?

The Cog Prince by Elizabeth Mueller
In this story, we meet a girl that gets locked in an antique shop after closing time and the weird things that happen to her, from seeing dancers, men and women, to a man that asks her to dance, and to other unusual things. Is it really happening, or is she dreaming?

Remedy by Chelsea Marie Ballard
Stories about royalty are always interesting. Take a princess and a slave that love each other and a father who disapproves, and you know what happens, or do you?

Charleston Masquerade by Carrie Anne Brownian
Two sisters attend a masquerade ball where families are looking for potential brides for their sons. Will Jinx and Myrina find their future husbands? Mrs. Upshur doesn’t think so.

Flower of Ronda by Myles Christensen
The story of a murder, a girl on the run, and an injured man that she meets and is attracted to. But they are of different religions. So is there any hope for their future? You may be surprised at the answer.

Sea of Sorrows by Anstice Brown
This is a fascinating story of girls known as the “sorrows”, shapeshifters that kill the land folk. They’re not evil; this is how they survive. Is there hope for their future? Or are they doomed to this life forever?

A Diver’s Ball by Angela Brown
This is a story of virtual reality where you can design your online presence to look however you want tit o look. That might be fun. Imagine on-line parties, like the Diver’s Ball, and a simulated assistant, or SA, such as a black cat with green eyes. Sounds great, right, but what is the real life like? You’ll soon find out.

By the time you finish this anthology, you’ll have traveled to strange places and met some unique characters. If you enjoyed the stories, they’d appreciate your review. Thank you. Happy Reading!
