Review: Delightful Bonus
Rating: 5 out of 5

1 star is for the clear label indicating this is a prequel + 1 star for a glimpse at the novel + 1 star simply because I delight in having additional scenes not in the novel (aka the back story). The last two stars are for the author's skill at penning a scene that gives me a solid glimpse into the characters. Not all short stories wrap everything up tidily so I don't look for neat endings; I look for writing that plays out in my mind as if I were there, standing in the doorway. I was catching the scent of the apples--this is an author I will read more of.
