Miranda and
Saba are on vacation and rehashing an old, old, argument. Finally they go down
to dinner. Miranda had intended them to go on a ghost tour but they’d spent too
long arguing and missed the start of it. When they decide to try to catch up
with the tour they meet and rescue a woman and get sidetracked into caring for
her.
Since this
is only a short story there’s not a lot of time for back story and character
development. I’d really have liked at least another paragraph or two on the
resolution of their argument and also something more in Saba’s POV. The sex
scenes are lengthy, explicit and hot, not easy to achieve in such a brief
story. Obviously the plot can’t be too detailed but it is clever and well
executed and even has a slight twist to it.
There were a
couple of tiny, but annoying grammar and style errors and I have no clue what
the connection to Halloween is supposed to be, other than this is a paranormal
story.
Also I found
the lack of set up and back story hampered the overall story arc and my
appreciation of the characters, even though I understood the constraints of the
length-limit. Still, another one thousand words could have made this story so
much better and it still would have come in under the cut-off length.
Nevertheless
it’s a very quick and hot read for those who enjoy lesbian fiction.
This is an objective review and not
an endorsement of this book.
