Review: Eh, so short it's hard to get a feel for the characters, world, or writing

This story is a prelude story to the book theThe Demon Trapper's Daughterby Jana Oliver which is due out beginning of February 2011.  This is a very, very short story.  It takes maybe 10 minutes to read.  The majority of the download is an excerpt from the beginning of the book The Demon Trapper's Daughter...which I didn't read because I don't like reading excerpts (also I already have an ARC of theThe Demon Trapper's Daughterthat I am hoping to read next week).The story introduces an interesting world were people find shelter under different retro trends and demons regularly infest houses.  Riley Blackthorne is a Demon Trapper, and this book gives an account of her doing a small scale demon capture.  Riley seems like a plucky character, but the story is too short to really know.  The world might be interesting, but again the story is so short that it is hard to get a feel for the world, the character, or the author's writing style.It is a free download so I can't complain too much.Overall it is okay.  This sample story is not a really good way to get a feel for the author though because it is so very very short.  I guess get it if you have read theThe Demon Trapper's Daughterand enjoyed it.  I wouldn't get it to get a feel for the author though it just isn't a large enough sample of her writing.
