Review: Good concept but overpriced

Megan is actually a good writer.  Her zombie concept is different enough to be interesting and she started creating a nuanced character in Abbie. Unfortunately, this is not really an e-book so much as a short story consisting of some short chapters.  The main character on this installment is Abbie and her experience with the start of the zombie infestation.  It was a good start.The price of $.99 is OK for the first in the series as I enjoy getting to know new authors and finding creative writeup of worn-out plots such as zombie apocalypse.There really isn't an ending as the author purposely set up a cliffhanger at the end of each part to get us to buy the sequels.  I've bought up to #4 and just don't find good value when she's charging $.99 for basically 2 chapters each time. #3 started me feeling gipped and by #4, I felt like I wasted my most recent $.99. I was being strung out so the author can make more money than if she had actually put a full book together.If and by the time the author finishes the story, you will have shelled out three to four times more money than you ever did for a best-selling, top quality author.I spent full price for an NYT bestselling author at $9.99 and got 600 real pages of an amazing, well written story that felt satisfying vs. the frustration and irritation for the $4 that I've spent so far. There's still another $4 to spend at least and in my opinion, not enough material to justify the cost.The 5 star review that Megan got on this series came from one person and is so gushing that it seems like a promotion rather than a true review.
