Great short read. I hated the main character who I just wanted to throw out of the window. She didn't care for anyone but herself and made decisions laced with alcohol. The main character Sarah who is selfish and thinks that her actions are justified because she is a "good" mother. She was not. She was a nag.

This was a free download for an honest review.
I'll be the first to admit that many a freebie has either disappointed me or has been mildly amusing. This was a rare gem.
Sarah, a single, falling-into-alcoholism mother has lost one daughter to drugs, depression, and suicide, and now must deal with a rebellious tween. Throw in a demanding damaged mother and a dying abusive father and there just isn't enough wine to drown out her sorrows. Going against her better judgment, she cowtows to her mother's passive-aggressive requests to help her attempt to save the man she despises. What's a woman to do? Vampire blood. It's illegal, it's dangerous, but can it save a man's life or destroy it and those around it.
Sarah's rash (and drunken) actions take a sideways juke in the road and her life takes an interesting side adventure instead of the journey it was originally headed for.
Very, very good. I look forward to reading more of Mr. Jenkins' stories.
