This story definately needs some editing! I actually really liked the concept of the author's dystopian world and the tale of "The Reciever". I think this short entertaining, original short story could be the beginning of a world and I would love to read more about it!!! Excellent start!

Not a bad story. I can see the promise in this with some editing. I could definitely tell that English is not the author's first language and I know an English-speaking editor would make a world of difference.

Henry Jonah Sabers (Retailer) was headed to Aix (town).
He asked a boy there upon arrival where he could stay at.
Old Rowena rents rooms.
The vendors in town had everything for sale such as: bundles of dried grass, tobacco, marijuana, & opium.

Henry next meets Jennifer (aka Rat-man) & then Malkyor.
Both individuals were quite unique & had their own life story to share.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one. All thoughts & opinions are entirely my own.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written paranormal (Novella) book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great paranormal movie, animated cartoon, or a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

This a short story set in the future, where the human race is almsot gone from the face of eath due to cloning. The plot is good and the end is unexpected. I like the story very much. The only thing I would reccomend is to have it thoroughly proofread by an English native speaker.

I struggled to get through this book. The language is a mangled version of English, the story a little strange. If Viktoria wants to publish in English, she needs to find a good English-speaking editor.
