A review by supposedlyfun
Freaks by Tess Gerritsen
3.0
For the first time, Tess Gerritsen released a short story starring Rizzoli and Isles, available only as an eBook. And for good measure, our intrepid heroines find themselves facing off against a possible vampire and a father eager to avenge his dead daughter.
Let's be honest for a minute: this short story owes its existence to online marketing. It's a way to collect a few extra bucks while also drumming up awareness of the series' next installment, which conveniently comes along pretty soon.
Still, Gerritsen makes it fun. It's clear that the story idea didn't have enough firepower to last an entire novel, so it actually was wise to keep this one short. I sound like I'm being harsh on this concept, but that's not actually the case. It's a fun idea, and like I said, the idea was kinda fun and couldn't have sustained a novel anyway. And for anyone looking to pad the time between books, you can't really go wrong.
Grade: B
