A great short read!  Left me in a quandy between needing to get to the end to see what happens vs. not wanting it to end because I was enjoying the unfolding of the story and characters, not to mention the style of writing.  For a story that only spans a few hours time in a person's life, I got to know so much about the two main characters and their unusual relationship.
The author has an interesting yet whimsical style, especially in a story about the end of a person's life.  Kind of like eavesdropping on a sidebar in a courtroom, where you hear a whisper of something that the author really didn't mean to say out loud... but that makes it for me!
Looking forward to his next work of macabre, with a twist!

I didn't realize this was a short, but it was very entertaining. Can't tell too much of the story or it will give it away. I'll just say if you are looking for a quick, interesting story this is it.

I enjoyed this short story a lot.  It gave you quite a bit to think about.  I am a big fan of Alexander McCall Smith and he didn't disappoint.

This is a very intriguing short story. It's easily the first chapter of good novel and I hope the author writes more!

Full disclosure: I have met the author which is why I wanted to read the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story as it left me wondering where it was all going until the end. Fantastic opening made me want to read on. At only 43 pages it certainly delivers a punch. Well done L.L.Sanders

Very nice short story. You won't find there any hardcore, anal or any other dirty things. It's just a nice story with interesting erotic scenes. I enjoy it very much.

I enjoyed this book.  Only took about an hour to read, it's very short.  The length is my only negative comment about the book, I would've liked for it to be longer.  Even with the short length, Caroline does an excellent job telling the story.  I highly recommend reading.

This is a short story I picked up for free from Amazon and, to be honest, because its free I didn't expect too much but was actually pleasantly surprised. Although its short - about 28 pages on my Kindle and around 9,000 words - it packs a lot into a short space of time.

The book is well written, the characters believable and well developed and the story is interesting with just the right amount of gore. There is tension and atmosphere with a twist at the end which leaves you wondering where your line is and where it will take you.

Overall, a good quick read and a good introduction to the works of this author which I would highly recommend especially as I have read one of his full length novels - The River is Dark - which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I would also like to mention how great I think the cover is - its really eye-catching and ominous - well done to the person who came up with that.

I enjoyed this story and I look forward to reading the rest of it. It is a quick read but draws you in just as quick. It gives you a small taste of what can be between the two.

This is a very enjoyable short read which is actually and adaptation of a screen play, thus it is more of a novella.  None the less, it is a very good quick read; is both thought provoking, and gives a good message.  I recommend it as a good read.
I received a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very interesting short story.  I have always enjoyed stories about the early days of the western states; this one kept my intersect and more.

This was a really cool short story, although I wish that it had been a little longer. The concept here is really interesting, taking faeries and making something new from them, Piskies (or something like that). The idea of using words like Coins when talking to the creatures, and the consequences for mismanaging your money/words was really interesting. The story was too short to really establish any characters other than the main viewpoint character, and even she was inconsistent. She generally comes off as an intelligent, confident, strong woman, but her actions that were the impetus for the climax of the story were really goofy and seemingly out of character. Still, the result of it was entertaining and suspenseful, and I enjoyed the ending, even though their survival after the story ends was still in question depending of different factors out of their control. I really liked the illustrations that accompanied the story, as they are very well done and helped with my visualization of the faery like creatures. I will mention though, that this story is not apparently set in either of Robin Hobb's worlds from what I could tell (even though the description says that it is), something I didn't know before reading it. Still, I would recommend Words Like Coins, it's a quick, fun, interesting little read.
