Fell, by J.T. Marie (nom de plume of J.M. Snyder) is a short sample of her work, and a very good one at that. It is a quick, enchanting read at 2483 words.

It tells the story of two wood nymphs who take a game they play on a mortal too far, and eerily how one of them decides to make up for it, if only for a little while. There isn't much to say that won't give it away but if all her work is like this, then anyone who likes their stories to lean a little to the creepy as well as the curious will love it. I just wish it had been a tad bit longer! This author is certainly worth reading into some more.

I have read other works by this author (The Boss's Daughter,) but this story left me feeling dumb. It was OK, I just didn't know what was going on. I wavered on one or two stars for it, because it was written OK, and it was overall OK, but I just didn't get it. Did I miss something?

If I explain my confusing, I might be giving the whole story away, and I don't want to do that. But still...I feel like I just read something that I should be able to grasp, but didn't. And that make me feel sad and dumb.

I think there was fairies in this story. I think there was a girl who wasn't a girl? But I'm not sure.

One star.

I feel mostly confused by this story? I think I understand what was happening, but it wasn't 100% clear. Also, the occasional (words) threw me off, as I didn't fully understand their significance. I enjoyed the parts I did understand, but in general just... what? haha.

(I also don't understand how this is a glbt story at all. The author normally writes m/m erotica, but this doesn't even have implied queer content at all.)

This is my book so I won't review it.

It was an interesting story, but like with every short story, there are a lot of questions and you're let with wanting more.

A weird book that I did not really enjoy.

SIGH! A lot of good ingredient but not a complete story. An in depth edit would do this work real justice. Right now too many loose ends and unanswered questions.
