I hate to admit it, but it's an enticing openerI've always enjoyed Celesta's books. I was concerned about this one because it's so short. Now I'm frustrated that the next book's not available. I told you I don't like short stories.It is truly a fun, exciting read. I think I like the characters. How can you know when the story's so short?
Pretty short story but intrigued and want to know moreThis is a short story but had a lot of action packed into it. I found myself intrigued by the characters and wanting to know more.I really wish the one swear word had been left out. The story was so short - was it really needed?Sex - noneViolence - fist fights and gun violenceLanguage - one curse wordReligion - noneAdditional note: One of the characters sells drugs to make money. He doesn't appear to be a user of drugs.
Good StoryI started the story not remembering the blurb but it drew me in. There's a lot going on and while I liked Abigail and Josh, I thought Nathan was a jerk. But then the author throws a twist and I could understand why he's acting that way, even though I don't agree with it. Ixm going to read the next one because I need to know what happens next.
