Alessa's Body is a fairly standard gothic novella about a man who is haunted by survivor guilt.  I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either.  I know! I hate saying that, I wanted to love it, but it felt very cliche at times and I was often told rather than shown by the author.

Thank you to the author for a gifted copy of "Alessa's Melody" in exchange for a honest review.
