Summary:
Oh dear, this book was so bad that it was actually funny, although I don't think it was written with that view in mind - I could be wrong though.
Stilted dialogue and slow and confusingly written plot at times, and unbelievable characters. I think it is safe to say that I wasn't a fan - of course, that is just my own opinion, it's horses for courses, somebody else may well love it. Please don't hate me I take no great pleasure in critiquing somebody's work, I just tell the truth from my own perspective.
On the positive side, I don't think I noticed any errors typographical or grammatical, and it's a very short novella, so it was over quickly, and it was a freebie download at the time. I would not be amused had I had to pay for it.
I think least said soonest mended with this one, I might check out something else by this author to see if it was just a one off disaster in this particular case.
