Well, they say you can’t judge a book by its cover, so I pressed on past my initial reaction to the cover art here. Fortunately, this is a quick read that consists of a little over a dozen pages. Unfortunately, it’s just not that compelling. The cover may have been enough to judge this one after all.But to be fair, the concept is decent - a lonely, single woman is offered a chance to meet a suitable suitor if she attends a Christmas party. After that, it breaks down to a series of Halloween cliches and odd horror effects. Ultimately, it’s a tale of choosing between good and evil, life and death. In that sense, it’s interesting, but it’s not executed as well as the topic deserves. So, it falls flat for me.By the way, I received a complimentary digital edition of this book from Story Cartel because I promised to write an honest review. Obviously, I didn’t pull any punches, but I do appreciate the opportunity to sound off and help other writers get writing.
