A great book for when you are in the mood for a quick read. 22 short stories by a plethera of crime and thriller writers. Some stories were great and some not so much but all in all good for a quick fix

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. Unfortunately this is not the book for me. DNF @ 18%.

Incredible stories of survival and redemption in this anthology. Editor and creator Pam Stack has assembled an all-star cast, each contributing a piece in this inaugural publication from Author on the Air Press.

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS! THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! Some kick ass crime survivors telling their stories, and you just feel so inspired and uplifted and all the feelings.

* I was sent an earc from netgalley for an honest review. I thought that Betrayed was an ok anthology. There were some stories that I absolutely loved and others that we just not for me. The Burthmark and the Brand by Warren Moore I really disliked. However, stories such as Soap by Wendy Tyson and Smokehouse by Shane Gericke I thought we’re very well written and keep me from wanting to put the book down. Overall a 3.5 Star read for me.

Betrayed is an anthology of short emotional stories about domestic violence written by twenty-two authors. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

I don't typically go for anthologies - always that "hit or miss' concern - but definitely glad I did for this one. Big fan of Allison Brennan, which is what caught my attention, and she doesn't disappoint, as expected. Really enjoyed reading all of the other authors & will be looking into their other writings. Thanks to Netgalley & publisher for being granted this opportunity!

Betrayed is an anthology of stories of victims who have become survivors. They have survived domestic abuse by parents, spouses, siblings. Their experiences have changed them irrevocably, but they have come through the other side, scars and all.

I always find it tricky to review (and read) anthologies. I usually get them solely for reading a short story by one of my favourite authors (in this instance, Allison Brennan), and so read the others since I'm along for the ride. I find it can be a bit hit and miss. Some stories are outstanding and you don't want to end (which is always good because hey, it means I've potentially discovered a new favourite author!), and others you struggle through (but it's ok, because at least it's a short story not a full novel).

This was no different. I'll have to say, I enjoyed more than I struggled through. The main one I wanted, Mirror, Mirror by Allison Brennan was a stand out and showcased her usual brilliance (although that's one I would have liked to go for longer!).

An enjoyable read. And the great thing about anthologies, is you can read one story and then put it down and get on with life. You don't feel the urge to push through the whole novel in one sitting because you just have to know what happened.

Betrayed is a powerful collection of stories. All center on the idea of domestic violence. It should not be read with the lights out. I am taking them one at a time. This gives me more time to savor, but also more time for each story to stick with me.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.

All the short stories are about domestic violence. Some are very hard to read and some a bit disturbing. There was some poetic justice for some of the victims too. But all-in-all, I am glad that I read these stories. Made me want to devote some time to a women's shelter.

This book has different stories from authors. Each story has someone being betrayed in some way or another. I love the way each story is different and the writer has different ways of telling their own story. These are superior writers! If you like mystery, murder, and suspense then what are you waiting for? Get your own copy and enjoy! I would like to thank Net Galley for a copy of this book. The review is voluntarily done and of my own opinion.

A powerful collection of unforgettable crime fiction stories with mystery and a lot of suspense by a remarkable group of authors. A highly recommended read! I also like the fact that the proceeds benefit crime victims. Well done!

With 22 different stories by 22 different authors, all highlighting domestic violence, this was a tough book to read. Many of the stories were incredibly well written and of course, some were better than others. It's such a gut wrenching topic that it was difficult to read one story after another for over 400 pages. I understand that the objective of this book is awareness, but it was too much for me to handle. I didn't finish the entire book. I had to pick and choose. And in the end, I put it down but picked up my laptop and made a donation to a local shelter for abused women and children.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC I received in exchange for my honest review.

An interesting mix of short stories by diverse authors. The novella by Allison Brennan has all new characters so is truly a stand-alone.

This was a great group of short Crime Stories. Some were better than others but overall, it was fantastic!

My thanks to netgalley and Air Publishing for this advanced readers copy.

Loved some of the stories but also didn't like others. I can't say I would read this again but some of the stories had lots of suspense and were great .This was just an okay book.
