Nine Lives Short Story Collection, Book 1

Many of the stories are set in a recent past that is very familiar and the author beautifully evokes an era with a few well-chosen details and observations. If you haven't read Nine Lives yet, I highly recommend it. Mar 10, Marcia Carrington rated it it was amazing Shelves: NINE LIVES is an enjoyable short story collection delving into the lives of various characters who could indeed be described as having nine lives in terms of their resilience. I liked all the stories, and the subtle comic elements of these gave a depth to the events depicted.

The more serious stories, though, were also interesting, and the showcasing of the characters' psychological elements were very compelling.

I also liked the fact that each story had a sting in its tail, but this was not the raison d'etre for these, rather, reflecting a cogent culmination of events.

Some of the stories would well do with expansion, as there was the impression that the respective themes could be explored in a longer format. Nov 17, Julie rated it really liked it. This is a short collection of nine stories so is ideal for dipping in to. They are all entertaining and on different themes. In This is a short collection of nine stories so is ideal for dipping in to. In all the stories, Terry Tyler, makes you believe in the characters. Some are funny, one or two are sad but all of them have a message which will stay with you long after you have finished the story.

Mar 24, Maria rated it it was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short stories. A quick, entertaining read. These days with less reading time, I love reading more short stories. I was already a fan of Terry Tyler's novels, and happy to see that she also writes shorts. I love her writing style, and these tales have some clever twists. The characters are all true-to-life and realistic. At the end of the book there is an excerpt from her novel 'What it Takes' and now I'm desperate to find time to read that one too!

I'd rec I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short stories. I'd recommend this collection to anyone who likes to get lost in a good story. Including tales on topics such as adultery, love, lust, jealousy, karma, relationships, morals, and revenge, this is a collection that will keep you hooked until the end. Nov 18, Bodicia rated it it was amazing. I admit to being a bit of a fan of this author's writing and I was pleased these were up to her usual standard of entertainment.

iTunes is the world's easiest way to organize and add to your digital media collection.

I could see the horror on Emma's face as the tale unfolded, her mind hardly able to comprehend the implications of what she was hearing. These nine stories are a great introduction to Terry's writing. Aug 28, Kate Hanney rated it it was amazing. Terry Tyler is indeed an incredibly adept writer; combine her astute observations on life with her faultlessly skilled delivery, and you have stories that cannot fail to engage, entertain and provoke thought and emotion.

Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, every one features characters who are so real you will know them. There are some twists and turns, some where you will feel like applauding the heroine, some where you feel like shaking her! But always, you will become so involved you will not be able to leave any story part-way through; this author hooks you in and doesn't let go! I really loved this anthology, and will definitely be moving on to one of Terry Tyler's novels next. Do give them a go! Dec 13, Andy Angel rated it really liked it.

Nine Lives

I must say that until recently I haven't been a massive fan of short stories but here is another collection that has helped to change my mind. I have been a fan of Terry Tyler's long fiction so trying the "short stuff" didn't take too much thinking about. What we have here are nine excellent slices of human life, each slightly different but all well told. The author, as she usually does, gets you right under the skin of her characters. The stories, as you would expect, are not over long but that d I must say that until recently I haven't been a massive fan of short stories but here is another collection that has helped to change my mind.

The stories, as you would expect, are not over long but that doesn't lessen the enjoyment factor. A good solid collection suited to both male and female readers. Hopefully there will be more like this in the future. Apr 09, Georgia Rose rated it it was amazing. It was the perfect choice. I love short stories and there are really not that many books of them about. I read it in a day and this book would be great for all those times when your reading time is broken up, such as when travelling, waiting for appointments, being pampered or really for any other time at all!

Sep 17, Nicki rated it it was amazing. Though short stories are not really my thing, I had to read these by Terry Tyler, and I'm glad I did! Just what I would expect from Terry - versatile and interesting characters. I loved the last story about the woman turning Definitely not where I thought it was going to go, and thank goodness for that. I won't say too much and spoil it, but what a great attitude and refreshing change for those of us around that age! I also had to laugh at the one set in the cafeteria of the biscuit factory.

And kind of at the one with all the drinks, awful though it was! Several of these characters I would love to have read more about in a full length novel. Nov 21, Claire rated it really liked it.

This was my first time reading Terry Tyler's work, and I really liked this collection of nine short stories which I found hard to put down. Each tale has interesting characters, a good plot, is well written and has a twist or two. They are all also extremely easy to read. Sometimes I find short stories don't get much of a chance to get off the ground, but not the case with these nine.

My only reason for not awarding five out of five stars is that I wish it was longer as if love to kno This was my first time reading Terry Tyler's work, and I really liked this collection of nine short stories which I found hard to put down. My only reason for not awarding five out of five stars is that I wish it was longer as if love to know what happened next in each of the scenarios.

I'll definitely be reading more from this author. Nov 21, Sharon rated it it was amazing. I'm not usually a fan of short stories but I did enjoy these. My one moan was that, once I started reading it, it was over too quickly so I read it again. I wante I'm not usually a fan of short stories but I did enjoy these.

I wanted more but that often happens with Terry Tyler's books as they are so brilliantly written. Jan 13, Jen Selinsky rated it it was amazing.

Terry Tyler does an excellent job illustrating the lives of nine central characters. Whether they are coping with affairs, going on diets, or avoiding crazy co-workers, the readers find themselves getting into these characters' minds. Once a person is through reading each of the stories, he or she can't help but wonder what happens afterward. I highly recommend "Nine Lives" to anyone who wishes to catch a glimpse into the lives of others; it will leave you wanting more! Nov 21, Darcia Helle rated it it was amazing Shelves: You know that saying, "I wish I could be a fly on the wall", which people say when they want to know how others behave in certain circumstances?

In this collection of stories, Terry Tyler allows us to be that fly on the wall. These stories prove things are not always as they first appear. When we look a little closer at people and their lives, we're often surprised by what we see. Tyler's talent for creating believable and likable characters has quickly made her one of my favorite authors. May 01, Karen Troke rated it it was amazing. This is one of the best short story collections you are likely to read. Each one is completely different and I defy you to guess how they end!

Nine Lives Short Story Collection, Book 1

The problem I usually have with short stories is that you can predict the end after a few paragraphs - not so with this collection; it'll keep you on your toes to the end. A definite 'Must Read'. Dec 17, Julie Stock rated it it was amazing. This is a great collection of well-written short stories, some with an enjoyable sting in the tail. I thought each story was well-crafted and carefully told, leaving the reader wanting more. My favourite was 'Shut Up and Dance' but I enjoyed them all and would recommend them. I downloaded this collection for free but would have been more than happy to pay for it.

I liked them all and particularly liked "Mia" and "Mama Kin", Terry has a great way of engaging the reader and uses wonderful descriptions in her writing which capture images and situations. This review is based on a free copy given to me by the author. Jun 14, Smitha rated it really liked it Shelves: This was a book that I picked up because it was marked down on Amazon.

It languished for ages on my kindle, before I picked it up as I ran out of books to read. I wish I hadn't wasted all that time. A very interesting set of short stories, each interesting in it's own way. A book that I enjoyed thoroughly,albeit unexpectedly. Dec 04, Chris Birdy rated it it was amazing.

She's done it again! Terry Tyler knows how to entertain the reader while presenting her story. In this case it is nine short stories. Each has a message carefully wrapped in delightful prose. And just when you think you know how a story will end, she pulls the rug out with another surprise.
