Cool story about the dangers of putting too much information online. Love that it was set in Lagos. Don't think I've read anything set in Nigeria before. I need to fix that. Any recommendations?
Treasure is the sixth story I've read from the Hush Collection. Despite the synopsis calling it a "darkly comic short story of class divide", I didn't find anything about it that would fit the term "comic". It is dark, brutal, and there were hints of more brutality than on the surface. Treasure, a house worker who dreams of Instagram fame, is being stalked by a brute of a man, and in the background, I feel that there are clues that this isn't his first round of stalking or worse. (view spoiler)...
One of the six novellas by noted writers. Treasure is by the author of My Sister the Serial Killer. These six short novels are available from Amazon Prime. Treasure is the name of a social influencer on Instagram. She has many followers who view her fashionable, wealthy lifestyle in Lagos, Nigeria with interest. One of her fans is a young man who is struck by her beauty and wealth. He wants to marry her and share her life of luxury in the big mansion. First he must ask her father for consent. Th...

Quick and with her native Nigerian tilt, Braithwaite keeps reader on their toes until the final reveal. Recommended to those who enjoy something a little...
Treasure is an Instagram star with many followers who envy her lifestyle. Patience helps her takes the pictures to post. @Sho4sure decides she is the girl for him. What unfolds is a twisty and surprising story story of deception and obsession. My final short story from the excellent Amazon Hush Collection
This is my sixth and final read from the Hush Collection, and aside from Snowflakes, which I intensely disliked, this was my least favorite. While it's a great representation on the dangers of social media, that's really all it is. The story seemed unfinished to me, and I wasn't a huge fan of the writing. The setting was cool though. UPDATE Now that I've completed the series, here is my ranking of the six stories:1. Buried2/3. Let Her Be & Slow Burner tied for second place4. The Gift5. Treasure6...
My second read of the short story hush collection and I really liked it.I was excited as I really loved My Sister, the Serial Killer and this has a very similar vibe.Too short of course, but plenty packed in to give it lots of punch!
Online DECEPTION becomes OBSESSION. This is another one of the six Amazon Original short stories from the HUSH Collection-6 stories-6 Deceptions.Described as a darkly comic tale written by Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of My Sister, The Serial Killer. If you enjoyed that one, you should enjoy this one as well!!The narration by Adepero Oduye enhanced the experience for me, so I highly recommend the audible! Listening length is 47 minutesA great way to sample the work of an author you may not be fam...
I do not appear to be a fan of Oyinkan Braithwaite, I think maybe that what I liked best about My Sister, The Serial Killer was the quirky title. Her humor seems to go over or under my radar. Never-the-less, she writes a good tale about flawed, unlikable characters (the most interesting kind), which is probably what I like best about her work. I wonder why people who incessantly post on instragram (and/or other social media platforms), are surprised when they end up being targeted by some repuls...
