Review: Cute short story. Misleading product title.

Ok, I am giving this short story "Death and Waffles" four stars because it was cute and I liked finding out more about the background of death, also known as ten year dead girl, Ashley.  She is a great character and I really like the other character in the story, Matt.  I want to see this guy again, definitely.  He was every bit as compelling as the main character in "Hold Me Closer, Necromancer", Sam.  Now a things:  this story took all of five minutes to read so it is VERY short.  It is well written and very entertaining but so short it merely wets the appetite for more, which is probably the point.  I was also a little disappointed.  The name of this Kindle download is "Necromancer: A Novella" which was stated to contain preview chapters for "Hold Me Closer, Necromancer".  I knew this would't be a full new story, but this VERY short, short story is not a novella.  Throwing that short story together with the first two chapters of another book is also NOT a novella.  The title is more than slightly misleading and in my opinion should be changed.  It should be listed by the name of the short story.  {The definition of novella (I looked it up): a fictional prose narrative that is longer and more complex than a short story; a short novel.}  Still the story is well crafted and fun and is a no brainer since its offered as a free download.
