Review: short story stops mid sentence
Rating: 1 out of 5

The setting and idea are interesting. The problem is that this short story simply stops at a random point. It reads like the author wrote a novella, accidentally erased the last 75% of the book, and decided to publish anyway. What on earth?  Seriously? The whole story reads like the free introduction to a book, and at the end you should be deciding whether or not to buy.As other reviewers say, the editing is appallingly bad. The author used word completion without checking the consequences, inserting a random wrong word about once each page. Verb tenses are often wrong (e.g., he have). Any middle school graduate should have been able to find and fix most of these errors, by doing a final proof-read prior to publication.The world is interesting and worthy of investigation. The leading lady is a chip-on-the-shoulder fanatical vampire hunter, working for the government in modern times. A recent human/werewolf/vampire war has led to treaty negotiations still in progress and uneasy peace. He is a leader of the local werewolves, and upon meeting wants her for his mate. Plot wise, my biggest complaint is that her actions at the end of the book are highly offensive. She has an explosive temper, little self control, and seems unable to take personal responsibility. Still, those flaws could have been worked out over the course of a plot, if this had been a full book.Skip it.
