What will be Sarah’s reaction when she is subjected to a past that she has no knowledge of? Sandy is scared, worried and somewhat irritated because of the weird voices she hears from the attic above. With the help of her best friend, Anne, she decides to find out the source of this all racket but what will she find hidden up there? Would the truth shock her? Will the frail, old and lonely novelist who had managed to incur an emotion so inside him be able to change the course of his life? Self-made and hardworking Jenny was looking forward to the opening ceremony of her novel when she is subjected to the hatred and scorn of her best friend, Cindy and made a laughingstock in town. Will Jenny be able to hold her head high? My Rating: 4.69/5 stars My Review: Abandoned in the Attic I liked Sarah I found her sweet and it was no wonder that her charisma charmed everyone into loving and protecting her, overall Sarah was a very likable character. I loved this story because on every page a felt a new degree of suspense. I was quite shocked when Xunaira revealed the conditions of how Sarah was raised. I found Alice's heart to be quite warm and her to be quite kind, she never had to take Sarah in but she did, and that was amazingly kind of her. Footsteps in the attic Oh my sweet goodness! This short story left me with goosebumps, I was shivering all the time, and when I thought I figured this out, man I was so far from wrong. If you love suspenseful books this is definitely the story for you!

I loved this one the most, it taught me that even thoughts have power which was hauntingly beautiful. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony I also loved this story (surprise, surprise) this story follows a women's journey and her ugly emotions just to get what she wants, I related to this book because our emotions aren't always positive and the theme of this story showed us what these ugly emotions can lead to. Like all of these stories Xunaira provides us with excellent work with famous morals that we all hear throughout our childhood. Why didn't I rate this 5 stars if I loved it so much?

I admit, Xunaira did a magnificent job writing this book but sometimes I found some characters undeveloped. Don't get me wrong though, this is
