Dark Whiskey by Emma Meade goes down in one smooth, satisfying gulp.I adore main character, Jesse. She just wants to kick back at home on a Saturday night "watch The X Factor and sip a glass or three of rose", but BFF, Tasha, insists on clubbing. This leads to immediate trouble.A writing instructor once told me short stories are harder to write than novels because there's room to play in a book whereas every sentence has to shine and move the story forward in a short work. Every word of Dark Whiskey sucked me in deeper and deeper until the end, which positively kicked ass! I wanted to applaud. Perfect ending. Makes me want a sequel!
