I also really enjoyed the incorporation of language outside of English not every line of Spanish utilized was immediately translated, we as the reader did the translation ourselves based on context clues, and I really enjoyed that. The stories flowed into one another very well, picking up on some similar themes from the story before and after itself. It is one of the reasons I love collections around the holidays, while it was still hard to put down and not charge into the next story it was easier to do than with a full-fledged novel. This was a perfect read for me this week, especially during the holidays, because I could sit down read a chapter and actually be able to put the story down and finish another chore.

Each story hooked me, and in some cases, I wanted more - like a full novel for the story at hand.
