She’s an avid cat lover, and everything animal related, as is clear from the starring roles the animals in her work perform!
This is the first piece of published work I have read by Callie hunter. It’s a nice little story, with a nice little twist at the end. Kris and Willow are brother and sister, and for an unknown reason, someone has been murdered and they have the body. Impulse throws the reader straight in at the deep end. Kris has killed someone, they have the body, now what? Well that’s what this short story is about, so I won’t spoil it. I really liked both Kris and Willow, they both come across unique, even in a story so short. Callie keeps you guessing until the end at what happened and what they are going to do, but when I realised what the twist was at the end, I felt a mixture of disbelief, because it was so logical and right, no other ending would have suited it. The only downside to Impulse was, that it wasn’t longer. Callie has a way with words and a way with drawing the reader right in. If you fancy a quick little read, this is one for you.
