Review: Frustrating Read

Quite a frustrating read. First of all, this is a novella, and I have a love-hate relationship with this story style. They can be done right, but most of the time they are done horribly wrong.In the case of Ruby Hill the writing was good, but it never should have been written in short story format. I never felt a connection to the H/H, especially not Ashley who was the most "blah" of the two. Their relationship had almost no back-story, therefore I wasn't interested in their problems working themselves out. The atmosphere and scares could have worked, but like I said, lack of back-story killed the potential there.All-in-all, quite disappointing and frustrating. If it had been written in novel form, with more work on character and plot development I think I would have liked it.ARC courtesy of Entangled Publishing, LLC, via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
