Review: An unnerving and interesting tale!

This is a creepy story to which most people can relate.  A young man is unhappy in a marriage of obligation to a woman who got pregnant way too young.  Working minimum wage jobs to support his young family makes him miserable, and he recalls that he originally wanted his then girlfriend to have an abortion. Instead, they married.  Now the child is 5 months old and creepy things begin to happen.The characters are EXTREMELY well written... Not only does the reader feel the depression and frustration of the husband, but also his fear.  I personally found the wife so annoying I wanted to punch her in the face myself.  THAT is great writing... making the reader connect and feel.  My favorite part was when the husband did not want to take the baby home with him from the hospital-- his fear was evident!  The story flows well and keeps the reader's interest.The downside?  There is no ending.  As book 1 is free, the ending is then provided in book 2.  By most standards, a "book" should stand on its own in a series.  This cannot.At first I was a little disenchanted with this type of marketing, and I have seen other reviewers bash authors for doing this.  However, I have come to the realization that I have purchased many books in the past which left me disappointed.  Even by such names as Danielle Steel and Dean Koontz, I have been disappointed after the purchase.  The reader needs to take into consideration when reading this book that it is basically an extended free preview.  Rather than getting the 15% normally provided by Amazon, the reader can read a significant portion of the story. As a reader, this is a great way to gauge whether you want to continue the story.  Other comments were made saying "I don't mind paying for a story" and gave this book a low rating.  My response is that i DO mind paying for a bad story---so now that I have gotten an in depth look at this author's writing style and flow, I can better determine whether I wish to purchase the second half, or his other books.Thank you Mr. Wells for creating such an engaging and interesting story!
