The book is a collection of short stories that looks into a variety of mysterious women from the lens of men. The unpredictable storylines are a fresh spin on fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, scifi, and the supernatural. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

Spirit Women is a collection of supernatural tales that contains violence, murder, morbidity, supernatural elements, and addiction. So I would suggest controlled reading. Today's book isn't one I would like to read but congratulations to the author.

I wonder what inspired the title of the book, since the official review mentions that it is a collection of short stories. Perhaps it is centred around powerful women who leads. I enjoyed pacing around your review. THANK YOU 🌼❤️

I have not read many supernatural books in my time, but since this is a collection of short stories; I'm giving this book a chance. From the title, I'm going to guess that each story is about the plight a woman goes through in life.

Great review. I loved reading this sample. It's is certainly a different read. The author focuses on feminine stories but with a twist. The stories have great plot twists and you never see the next move coming. Kudos on writing an intriguing book of short stories and for making to BOTD

Spirit Woman by R. Garcia is a book of short stories that, as the author hints, tell various aspects of women's lives. He admits that he, as with most men (like Albert Einstein and Steven Hawkings), does not understand women, but the general theme of the book is to share stories about the spiritual aspects of interactions with women.

I read the Introduction and the first two stories, Leaving Baltimore and Foresight. Both stories have unexpected surprises. Mr. Garcia excels in starting his stories leading you in one direction, only to be shocked when he subtly lands you in a place you never expected.

With short stories, there needs to be a balance between telling a complete story in a short window and ensuring the story leaves the reader satisfied. Mr. Garcia accomplished that balance in the first two stories. I hope the rest of the stories are just as good.

Wow, a collection of short stories that fuses elements of mystery and melancholy. This is exactly my kind of book, and I'm particularly curious about the feminine psychological warfare mentioned in this review. Congrats on BOTD!

To be able to mix both psychological and supernatural themes in a short story is quite a fit to accomplish. Indeed this book deserves the BOTD award. Congrats on getting the BOTD.
