Review: Good novella that's more of a first chapter

I thoroughly enjoyed this little book, more of a novella than a short story or novel.  Not much character development.  But then, again, the characters, except for the protagonist, are all weird people with strange powers.  Some aren't even really human.  Do we get to know their stories?  No.  The hero, Martin, stumbles upon this job and, inexplicably, stays with it even after some mind-blowing stuff.  Still the action is great and it is very entertaining.  But be prepared to say, "That's it?"  It is really like the first chapter of a book, with sort of an ending to this episode, but to know it all, you have to go on and read the series.  I just read free stuff, so I'll just have to accept that I won't know the whole story and leave it at that.  If I were Martin, I would have left at the very beginning, but then there'd be no story.  So enjoy it for what it is (more of a supernatural fantasy/adventure than true horror) and leave it at that, or go on with the series.
