Review: Had Potential...

I got this short story a few months back when it first went free on Amazon Kindle. I saw a post on Facebook and thought I'd give it a try. I usually don't go for the erotic supernatureal stories, but I thought I'd give this one a try. The summary was short and held a certain hypnotic pull to it, so I downloaded it and for a while I was a bit busy to read it, but when I finally got to it I had high hopes.Well, my hopes were a bit too high. I liked the premise - a witch who can be hired to do certain jobs for other supernatural creatures being brought in to help an Alpha werewolf in his search for a mate - but I felt there was a lot of things lacking. The mythology of the whole thing was completely grazed over, expecting the reader to just know what's going on here. If there is a tie-in novel somewhere else there's no mention of it here, and it's slightly frustrating.I don't normally do bad reviews, and it's not that I hated this story, I just felt there were things that needed improvement. There were certain gramatical errors I noticed that bothered me, the plot moved so fast you could barely keep up (even for a short story) and the main character, Megan, is very blunt with her attraction towards Zack, the Alpha werewolf that she's been sent to help. I couldn't quite get in touch with her character, nor Zack's for that matter, which is a big problem with me since I like to connect with the main character of the story I'm reading - as I'm sure everyone else does.I'm sure this story appeals to many others, but for me it just didn't hit the mark like I had hoped. I felt there was a lot of potential here, but it didn't live up to it.
