Seemed like an outline to a novel that never was.  I was quickly drawn in with rich descriptions, but then the writing got really sparse.  It was as if the author was tasked with writing a 1200 word essay and realized she was almost at that mark.   The end of the book was building to the climax, then plot twist! Then another plot twist! Then a really disappointing kind of boring ending.

I read this book because it was short and it would help me get to my 2023 reading goal. It was a nice, easy, quick read. Some pets were predictable, but I can’t expect too much from a short story.

Super quick read. My first one from this author and really enjoyed it. The ending wasn't my fave but everything leading up to it was pretty great. I have so many questions, but in a good way. Will def be checking out more from the author.

I usually don't read short stories but this was actually pretty good. Not very believable but the plot twists were clever and caught me off guard. Great read for halloween!
