Book Title: Trill BloodAuthor: Free StyleGenre: Flash Fiction(Paranormal)Pages: 5Book Synopsis: Jack and Jill are both sworn and promised to true bloods of their own kind, by arranged marriage. Only Jack and Jill are half human and have found commonality's in their worlds of dictation. There their love erupts and breeds curiosity as they find the secrets of the family may lead to death of loved ones and a scandal so horrific, love may be not enough to withstand its wrath.ReviewConcept: The basis for Flash Fiction is to get a full story in a really quick manner, and Trill Blood did deliver the quick story. You're able to get that jump into the dilemma of these two young lovers and watch as it unfolds without skipping a beat.Story: Not to give away too much on this, it's the story of a forbidden love between two young people from different clans. Forbidden to be together they make plans to be together, but it's the twist in the plot that will have you sitting there with your mouth hanging open.Character Development: For Flash Fiction character development is not something you get to see done through the time frame of the story. Jack and Jill are thrown into this story and they have to carry it upon their shoulders to move the story along and keep the quick pace.Dialogue: For me the dialogue was a little mediocre. The Author used a lot of Capitals to give the impression of yelling, and I'm thinking he did this for the sake of the Flash Fiction. It was decent, but I think it could have been a little more powerful.Structure: For Flash Fiction I believe it was structured pretty good. I am not sure of the exact word count but it was definitely a story that could be read in a short amount of time which is the premise behind this kind of work.Overall Review: Overall, I thought a little more could have been done to draw the reader in. It was a quick story but not the overall best story. It felt like there was something missing to make this story stick out as something to be remembered. It has promise but it truthfully needs a bit of work done to it to push it beyond that threshold. In a lot of ways it feels like it was a rushed story with a damn good concept idea.
