Praise for Led Astray Book Nook: Ten Best Books I Read in 2015
Book Frivolity 10 Fantastic Fantasy Releases for September 2015
[Starred Review] "From the first moment, this collection of
fantastical tales sizzles with dark promise, rich world-building,
and complex, often haunting characters. In 'Rakshashi, ' Amrita has
long since completed her penance for the crimes she committed as a
mortal, and is willing to take any avenue to capture her reward.
Tanya is a woman with a gaslighting husband and a complicated
history in 'A Haunted House of Her Own.' 'Dead Flowers by a
Roadside' features a grieving man who can speak to ghosts--all but
the ones he most longs to hear from. 'Harbinger' introduces a group
of spirits who have a message but no voice. Each story feels
innovative and exciting, and they work together to create a
harmonious whole from glittering supernatural fragments. The
stories are set at various times and places but all feel as though
they spring from the same dark, dangerous, and fantastical world.
This excellent anthology will thrill Armstrong fans and new readers
alike."

that go bump in the night."
--Penny Dreadful Book Reviews "[T]his collection shows just how
versatile Armstrong is as a writer. She does supernatural just as
expertly as she does thrillers and suspense. This is a must for her
fans, and new readers alike."
--My Bookish Ways "Armstrong's writing pulls you in and keeps your
interest. All the stories were well thought out and imaginative,
and the conclusions to some will definitely not be what you
expected!"
--Readers in Wonderland "Overall, this would be a terrific
introduction to Armstrong, but it is absolutely essential to
someone who wants to have everything related to a particular
series."
--The Qwillery
