Review: Story had a lot of potential just lacked follow thru
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 16, 2013
I feel this story was about a 3.5 star read, but on Amazon I will rate a 4 star simply because this new writer does have the potential of making this a really great story/series and also because it was offered as a freebie. Otherwise, I might have felt a bit more compelled to go with a 3 star over 4 rating.Pros:* Intriguing story line* Mysterious plot that sucks you in* A page turner* It had a touch of darkness that brings out the mysterious aspect in a story* Original and creative* This was offered as a freebie* This writer knows how to emotionally pull you into the sexy scenes with chemistry* A touch of eroticism.........just enough, well portrayed and hot scenes of passionNow on to the not so good parts....Cons:* UGGGHHHH can a writer just not complete a story anymore??? As a new writer, if you want people to follow you, offer a story with an ending, or if you are planning to write a series at least offer some closure in book one, don't end it with a cliff hanger, where book 2 isn't even available yet? Not smart public relations or business savvy in my opinion.* The heroine, Claudia, oh dear god. Wishy washy doesn't even sum this girl up. I hate him. I like him. I hate him. I like him. She became so obnoxious even in this incredibly short story. Is it too much to ask to have a strong heroine in story that actually knows what she wants????* Very little character depth was offered. Who are these people really? Very little was told on their past and what makes the characters who they are. I didn't feel a connection to any of the characters involved, but I can see that developing if the entire story were told.Overall, this book really just seemed like a novella, or reading a sample of a book, it didn't feel even close to a full story, or even part of a story in a series.How much did I pay:  FreeWould I recommend:  For free, sureWill I read more in series:  Possibly, if free or low priced, and only if its available soon, this isnt a story I think will stick with me over an extended period of time, so unless its offered soon, Id have to pass
