I'm not one to typically read novellas. The reason behind this is; I feel like the author hardly has anytime to really create a story that will grab my attention and keep it in around 100 pages. The characters always seem under-developed or rushed and the plot never seems to go anywhere. NOT the case with Ms.Stoyanoff's novella. I was immediately thrown into the story...there was preamble, boom you were there in the field with the main character, feeling what he was feeling. Her descriptions were amazing, they were so vivid I did not once have to try to imagine what she was describing I could actually see it perfectly in my head. I read this novella in less than 45 minutes. From page one the author's words had me hooked. Never have I liked a novella so much. I can not wait to read the rest of the series. Ms. Stoyanoff has a new fan...and it's this girl right here. Usually novellas leave much to be desired but the author has a way with words and the only thing I'm left wanting is the rest of the series. If you would like to check out this series for yourself...I will post the links below for a few sites where you can purchase your copy!
