Review: Good Premise but ultimately lacking depth.

The Watchers from within Moments Revealed is written by Mark Paul Jacobs. This book is supposed to be around 120 pages long, but seems much shorter. Just to give you the heads up, it ends on 35% on the kindle. So the book is about a company (FastTech Corporation) that develops the worlds fastest camera. Upon testing the camera they discover something terrifying has been living among us. Their discovery sends the world into an uproar. I picked this book to read because that premise sounded interesting. The idea of creatures living among us that we can't see is terrifying. The story is told well enough, but as with most short stories they do not get into too much depth. There is a creepy, tension filled feeling the entire book. Jim Vedder is a likable character, but I would have like to see a little more back story on him. The story progresses at a lightning fast rate never letting you become to cozy or too involved. For such a short story it managed to tell a full story. I was pretty disappointed with the ending, but mainly because it ended at 35% and I thought there was still so much more to tell. If your in the mood for a short story that makes you feel a little like a bystander then this is still a fairly good read, just don't expect a top rate story.
