As I love reading short stories, probably as much as novels, I thought to give this one a try and see if it would be interesting enough to read the other books in the series.As it turned out, the story is a total mess, description of activities, plot connected to a countless numbers of characters not properly introduced, there is no real problem to solve, no real climax, no tension, no story actually.What I didn't understand is something that is written at the end of the book and I quote it here as the author wrote: "This short story is a continuation of Dark Hero, Book One of the Reluctant Heroes series. The events of this story take place at Christmas time, just after the climax in Book One and before the events of Book Two. If you would like to learn more about the lovers depicted here and their struggles to overcome the darkness shackling them, all the gory details of Elizabeth and Donovan's story is told in Dark Hero, A Gothic Romance." (I deliberately didn't correct the typos.)No wonder I could not relate to the characters. If only the author had put this in the book description on the product page, I would not have downloaded it in the first place.Unfortunately this "filler" has not done it for me and I will not be checking the other works by the same author.
