Don't get me wrong...I really liked this book, if you can call 144 pages a book, not a novella.  I only slightly minded paying as much, or more, than the earlier full sized versions.  I enjoyed the stories, enough to buy four of them, but I won't ever buy another one...and this is the reason.  I really loathed getting to the end of the last chapter, getting a cliffhanger set up, and actually being told by the author...if you want to know how this turns out, you will have to buy the next book...!!!!!  REALLY???Not acceptable!  You expect that kind of thing when it says, "read here for an excerpt from the next book".  To use a blatant set up, to try to force your reader to buy another book, is poorly done, no matter how interesting the book is!  I truly regret not continuing this series.  As I said, I really liked them, and loved the unusual subplot about the gun and holster!  I just will not allow any author, no matter how good he or she thinks they are, to jack me around like that in a book I payed for.  And, FYI Mr. Thomas, $3.99 for 144 pages still equals the full price for a full length book...no deal here, so no excuses for your poor personal standards!
