 I found the book to keep me entertained and wanting to see how it ended.  I think it is a decent book and if you enjoy paranormal/mystery type books you may enjoy this one.

Have enjoyed the books so far but am a tad disappointed I have to wait to see what happens in the next book. It's like the end of a season on a show you love and you are sitting there on the couch with your mouth open saying "No, it can't end like this!!!" Looking forward to next book!

Usually I don't read paranormal's, but, I really enjoyed this one. Plus, I read it around Halloween, made it even better.

Maybe I have a bad Kindle version... But the chapters in the story seemed to repeat and I completely lost interest.

Two words: Cliffhanger ending

Had I known that going in, I'd have never bothered. I mean, I knew it was a novella, and I knew it was setting up a series of books. Silly me, I still expected an ending "for now" with the overall story continuing in the next book.

What I got was was the book just cutting off mid-scene.

And not to mention the numerous editing errors, like characters' names changing mid-paragraph, words being left out, improper sentence structure, etc.

It also suffered from being way too descriptive in some places and not nearly enough in others. The characters made leaps in judgment at times, and I couldn't quite figure out how they got there.

It's a shame, because the idea for the premise was good, but my rage at the cliffhanger, and the editing issues will prevent me from going any further.

At least it was free.
