Review: Very rushed....
Rating: 2 out of 5

This story seemed very rushed, although it wasn't until the last page I even realized it was a "short story" (oops).For probably 3/4 of the book, the entire story takes place inside one room. Apparently months pass without the reader even knowing until it is of handedly revealed. There is some slow burning chemistry between the two characters, which goes from stolen glances and fantasies, to them apparently being lovers...on the next page. One climactic scene where the human is endangered and suddenly everything is fine. Where the book ENDED I only assumed it was the end of a chapter, my surprise to discover that no in fact that's all there was. Had this been a novel, and the author had given time to fill out his characters and provide more than the only two scenes in the book, and continued on after the awkward ending, this COULD have been a good read. As it is it is mediocre at best.
