Rating: 4 out of 5

As a general rule I avoid paranormal romances because they aren't my cup of tea and some are just too fantastical for me to get into but I really enjoyed this teaser of a story.I gave this 4 stars because I felt it was well written, it held my attention and I could get into the details of this paranormal world. However, I won't be buying more from this author because I was rudely left hanging at the end of the story. In fact, there WAS no end for the hero and heroine. It just left me hanging, wondering what would come next and quite frankly, I'm tired of that feeling. I'm left feeling unsatisfied and frustrated. Not good.The absolute worst thing is I wanted to know more about Rydere (hero) and Emily (heroine) but I'm horribly afraid that this very few pages is it for them. Perhaps they are mentioned in another of the author's writings? Is this just a teaser? A sample? Is there an actual full story for Rydere and Emily?I don't know and I won't be buying to find out. I'm not going to read through all the blurbs of the author's other offerings trying to figure out if there is more to this story (Rydere and Emily) or which story comes next, etc. I'm just so weary of having to do that so much lately. I just need a break from it.Lots of authors do series these days and I'm fine with that but each book should be a full story unto itself with enough detail about other characters to make you want to buy the next book in the series and honestly, all this story did was entertain for a very short time and then FRUSTRATE me because the ending was so jarring and abrupt.You might be wondering if I'm so dissatisfied then why the 4 stars but as I mentioned above, I do feel this story showed talent. For the short amount of time it took to read it, it held my attention every bit as much as books by award winning fiction authors I've read. Would it have continued to hold my attention and entertain had it been longer? I don't know. It's hard to judge unless you read more by an author to see if this is a "one up" or true talent. Since I'm not willing to plunk down more money to find out, I didn't feel good about down grading the number of stars on this offering because I did enjoy what little there was of it.I think that's fair and as with any author, you'll just have to decide for yourself if it's worth taking a chance on buying more.
