This small book is about a girl named Brandy, who leaves home one night after another fight with her husband.
I actually thought this was a good story and with some improvement on the story and writing itself, it could be a great story. It hooked me right away and that is good.
I didn't like Brandy much, though. She was 25, but seemed very immature and much younger than 25. Gary I liked through out most of the story. He just seemed like a lonely, divorced man who wanted to help someone who needed help and wanted company. I didn't like him as much after I found out the real reason why his wife left him.
Also the sex between Gary and Brandy seemed out of place and
unnecessary.
But with that being said, I don't think this is bad - In fact, I think it is a really creative story that with some work it could be really great.

After yet another fight with her husband, Brandy decides that this is the last time he will hit her. She walks out... With nothing... not even shoes.... then the skies open up and she is drenched in seconds. Perfect.....but on she walks. and walks. and walks..... suddenly, she realizes how far she must have walked because she has no idea where she is, her feet are turning blue from the cold rain and night has fallen. A car draws near and a man wants to know if she would like a ride. He introduces himself as Gary and he is on his way to Boston but right now he is lost. Brandy is lost too but accepts the ride. Follow them on what is to be the ride of a lifetime, or the lack of one if you want to see it that way..... I very much enjoyed this earlier work by this Author, and if you can excuse the boo boo's along the way, you will enjoy it too.

What first drew me to this book was the cover. I've never really read a horror story but always wanted to and when I saw the cover of Limikkin I knew this had horror movie written all over it. Thats exactly what I got. I read this book expecting something to jump out and kill someone. My tensed and my fingers tightened on my kindle. It was so much fun reading this book and now I'm itching to get my hands on another horror story.

I really hate to give low ratings, because I appreciate all that goes into writing a piece. However, this read like a script with stage directions. Additionally, there was trouble with the narrative, swinging from 2nd to 3rd person and there were verb tense issues.
No one could possibly be a clueless as these characters, unless it was meant as a farce, which I highly doubt.

Not a fan of the writing style at all. Needs more development and substance. Had potential and could have been good. I only gave two stars because I liked that it wasn't a typical werewolf story but I was very disappointed.

The way it's written it a bit hard to read but makes the story very different. A cool little story and I liked it but I did not see that ending coming!

A bit disjointed to me. Although I'm usually up for mythical type creatures,this, to me was not one I'd read again.
