A fairly short story that definitely passed my standard test: can I put it down? This one took me away from my responsibilities for the better part of an hour, and I feel not one bit of regret. The review posted on Goodreads and Amazon is below, but I will repeat my one complaint with this work - I don't really consider it to be a short story. This is better labelled as a serial. It reads like a chapter in a larger work rather than a stand-alone. I caught this story when it was offered for free on Amazon, so I can't really complain, but I'll probably wait to see if all the stories are bundled into a single release before I make a purchase. IF I can wait!
Rated: 4 stars
Review posted at Goodreads and Amazon:
Even though this is the second in the series, I didn't have any trouble following it without reading the first. The story had a fast pace and was hard to put down. Actually, since it is a relatively short story, I didn't put it down until the end. The author packs a lot of good character development and plot into the pages without it feeling rushed.
My only complaint with this story is that it is obviously part of a larger work in progress. I would much rather have the entire story in my hands. As it stands now though, the author has my interest and I am compelled to get the rest of the installments for more of the story.
Well played, Mrs. Andrews. Well played.
