I only read the sample… but when the entire book is 16 pages, that sample ends up being a depressingly large percentage of the total product. Said sample was a page and a half wall-of-text with some of the worst formatting I’ve ever seen shoved onto Kindle.
The Amazon blurb (which was better formatted and arguably contained more narrative content than the sample) called this a “fresh, pulse-pounding narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat.” I assume that pulse belongs to the marketing copywriter, because it damn sure isn’t coming from anything in these pages. For a 16 page book, narrative real estate is at an absolute premium. There is no room for meandering or padding. If the blurb is to be believed (and that is a big “if”), I should’ve gotten at least a taste (I'd have settled for even a whiff) of those “thrilling twists, unsettling scenarios, and unexpected dangers.”
I got none of that. Not a single solitary hint.
And then I saw the price: $12.99 for a paperback. For sixteen pages. I’ve seen drive-thru menus with more content (and better editing.)
Hard pass. Avoid. Don't encourage this nonsense.
