Review: I'm talking SHORT
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is billed as a short story.  It's really more of a vignette, I think.  Interesting premise, nice possibilities, but very little upon which to judge.  It's only about 17 pages long.  It's not exactly an abstract.  There is dialogue, there is plot (sparse though it may be), and even some slight character development on the hero's part.  Nothing I'd call romance.  It seems more of a long trailer for something more substantial.  Had it been in an anthology or a free extra, I'd probably find it forgettable but acceptable.  I might even look into other works by the author if I remembered the short short.  However, since I've read other work by this author and enjoy her other work, I'll perhaps look for other selkie books.  Possibly.Not good, not bad.  A bit disappointing and a bit blah.  If you're looking for romance, this will probably not satisfy.  If you're looking for something to read while on hold or waiting for your order in a restaurant, this will do better than some stories and certainly better than the back of cereal boxes.  Do, however, check out the writer's other books, especially the Cindy Eller stories.
