Review: Very short, but I love the premise

Some might accuse this story of being too derivative of Harry Potter, but I enjoyed the differences.  The setting is near Seattle, the feel is more modern, and the teenage angst comes through clearly.  I like that it is from a girl's perspective, and the concept of the afterburn is interesting, but I could see how it could get out of hand.  I also like the way the story is developed as a murder mystery.I obtained a free copy through an Amazon promotion, so I am very happy with the story.  But I could see how someone who purchases it at regular price might not be happy with it.  The short story takes up 70% of the ebook, and the rest is the first part of another book about the same character.I think it is an effective marketing tool, but I find it hard to understand the pricing when many novel-length ebooks are being sold for less.
