As one of the group who worked on editing and proofing these stories and helped put the anthologies together I might be considered biased, but these anthologies are definitely worthy of the 5 star rating.

I really liked the stories in this one. I'm glad I read it, it was a good ending to the series.

i am gonna write a short review for each story 'cause they are all so different and each one deserves proper recognition (for very different reasons)
INTO DEEP WATERS
RATING: 5 stars
This story was the only one I liked. I read it in July 2016 but I still remember how much I LOVED it. Everything is so well developed, the pace is just right, the two main characters grow on you and their relationship is beautiful. A very cute, very real love story that (I think) everyone would enjoy.
LOUDER THAN SIRENS, LOUDER THAN BELLS
RATING: 1 star
UGH. I actually downloaded this book for this story in particular at first. I couldn't be more disappointed. This story is so unnecessarily LONG, nothing happens for at least 70% of it and then everything develops so quickly and messy. The main relationship takes FOREVER to finally take off and then No. Nope. Sorry. This all felt like a really bad fanfiction. Hell, I'm sorry. What a disrespect. I've read better fanfiction.
WHISTLE BLOWING
RATING: 2 stars
Once again, disappointed. The relationship itself left me a little bit more satisfied this time but, once again, the way the story developed just felt wrong. It starts way too slow at the beginning and everything kind of important happens in the last 30%. I skipped through most of it, to be honest. Also, it has an open ending and, in this case, it just didn't work for me. I can't say I enjoyed it.
In conclusion, the only story that's worth reading is, by far, Louder Than Bombs. Don't even bother with the other twosorry not sorry
