Review: Amazing for a freebie!

Usually when you download a free Kindle story, you can expect it to be somewhat good but not truly something you'd want to read if it were a full novel.  This I definitely wish was a full novel!  It's actually a short story meant to get you involved in a series of novels by the author, and it did a really good job.The story centers around the murder of a teenage girl whose dead body is found next to a coffin in a cathedral.  She'd been living there with her boyfriend for a while; both considered themselves vampires and had diets that consisted mostly of animal blood.  Did her boyfriend finally decide that he needed human blood?  Or did a homicidal maniac simply stumble upon her body in the church?The story is fantastic!  I loved every aspect of it!  Also, like I mentioned earlier, the writing style truly makes you feel as if you're reading a professionally published book instead of a Kindle freebie.The main story takes up the first half of the download, but also included in the download is the beginning of one of the full length novels from the same series, featuring the same characters.  I normally do not enjoy promos at the end of books at all, but I'll be honest, it did a fantastic job of making me want to purchase the full length book.  It did such a good job that I am planning on eventually reading that book.Overall, I highly recommend this download!  It's a fantastic read that is truly an enthralling mystery.NOTE - A TV series (Rizzoli and Isles) has been based on the main characters of this series and is currently airing on TNT.EDIT - Because of having read and enjoyed this short story so much, I actually did buy the first two books in the series.  Therefore, I do think that this short story is good enough to cause the reader to want more.
