Reviews

[Diane · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short novella - so short in fact, I kept paging onward hoping for a finish to the story. That was the drawback on this book. I feel that there should have been more and a wrap up so-to-speak, the reader is kind of left hanging. There were other parts in the book that also had me scratching my head - like, "huh? how did they come to that conclusion?" that sort of thing. The story line was good and had great potential - the novella could have been about 20 pages or so longer and then it wouldn't have felt so rushed.

On the other hand, I am glad I read it, because it does fill in a gap with character development - slightly.

Overall, it's not a bad read, but can be skipped over.

Short books like this often fail in my eyes. Just don't get invested at all.

Can't put down.
