Ebook: Wilted (A witching Pen Novella)Author :Dianna HardyFiction, Paranormal,This review may contain spoilersI was given this by the author for an honest reviewSummary: A short story prequel to The Witching Pen Novellas.(This story takes place ten years before the events of The Witching Pen Novellas.)Fifteen-year-old Elena hides her magical abilities from everyone, except her best friend, Karl. Inseparable since they were very young, they've always shared everything together, including the darkest parts of their lives.Elena's beginning to realise that her feelings for Karl are growing into something more. But her mother's about to drop a bombshell on her - one that will change the course of her life, and heart, forever.PUBLISHERS NOTES:This UK-based story is suitable for YA readers, but it should be noted that The Witching Pen Novellas series is aimed at adult readers.For fans of the series, this story includes two parts of Elena's past that were made reference to in The Witching Pen: 1) The moment that Karl turns up on Elena's doorstep having been beaten and 'jumped on' by his father and 2) "The Sex Talk" between Elena and her mother.The ReviewThis is a short story or novella, but it was extremely well written, my favourite bit was the part about the photo of Karl as an angel, awesome picture in my mind, I thought the relationship these two have was just so sweet, it was a shame that they couldn't fall in love like they are destined to do, you could easily read this as a stand alone, there is nothing to stop you from doing that, although you would understand more of what was going on in this novella,  if you read the rest of the series, I have only read one other one and this was so easy to follow, highly recommend, 4.5/5
