Good for a short story

If your looking for a quick read then The Doll is an excellent choice. It has the appeal to be a wonderful start to a series. Dawniedo9466@hotmail.com

This was a short story so the characters really didn't develop, it was good to be a short story. I just wish it was longer because I would have loved to have a big history behind the characters.

Short and fun, but the characters were a little hard to believe at times, especially the way they talked. The story is entertaining, and the writing is good, but for me, it lacked a little depth. I'd recommend it as a quick read when you're looking for nothing more than a story to pass the time with.

A short story with an interesting premise.  Needed to be longer to fully develop the idea.  Decent for what it was though.

Good introduction and character development for a short story. A bit predictable but even that was OK. There were a few loose ends just left unresolved by a very quick ending.

This is one of the better self-published stories I've read, and I enjoyed it. The author has a strong voice, and there weren't many glaring grammar/punctuation errors like in so many self-published stories.
However, the story is really short. Yes, it's only 99 cents, but it's more like a serial novel, never ending, where you end up spending a lot to find out what happens.
I wasn't so engaged that I wanted to immediately buy the next one, more because I didn't want to get caught in the trap of having to spend more every few pages.

This would be a nice short story for a young teenager.  It was "free" to me or I would have rated it 2.

I enjoyed this story but as at least one other reviewer here mentioned, I think it would have been better suited to being written as a short story. I just didn't think there was enough of a plot here for a full length novel.

I did finish it as I wanted to see how things would turn out.

Ok but not one of my fav picks for recent novels that I've read.  I would probably try another book by this author though.

I enjoyed it, but it was short and sketchy.  It was more like a very long short story than a real novel.  It was interesting, and made some good points about the art of living well, however.

Pretty cool short story.  Worth the read. I would have loved to see the aftermath play out a bit, but it was meant as a short story, so I understand the abrupt ending.

My biggest problem with this one is it should be honestly billed as a short story. Could have been so much better if longer. It was simplistic but attention grabbing but just when you felt you were about to get onto the meat of the story BAM it's over. Expect the typical editing errors. Another -huh-moment one of the characters turn on a light after the power is out. Just don't feel this one was quite ready to be published. It still needs work.

I really did like the story, but it was really short.  Could have used a bit more.....if only every could get a possible 2nd chance that easily.

Let me start out by saying that this is a short story only 36 pages. It was perfectly written and has some really hot scenes but for being so short it doesn't leave you hanging. I'm rating this as 3 stars because in my personal opinion I just didn't like certain parts in this story. I would consider reading more from this author if the book is a little bit longer because I really did enjoy how well written this story was. If you are looking for something fast to read and you like these types of stories then this is one for you.

First the story is in need of an editor.. For example.. Us successfully single healer girls.... Just a thought. Other than that the story was short sweet and predictable.  Nothing special but it was a good story line. I liked the characters and the relationships that they built I just felt like everything that happened was something that I would normally read in a contemporary piece.

For a short of a story as it was, it was a good one. Very well written. Could have been longer though.

I thought this was a good novella/short-story whatever. I would like to see this author try her hand at a full-length novel.

This was a great short read, but just a bit on the too short side. The story definitely felt rushed toward the end. The characters were likeable. The mystery throughout with Isaak slowly remembering parts of his childhood and solving a big portion of the mystery was nice. Kate was a strong willed person with security issues steming form her somewhat mentally abusive mother. I think the book would have been better if Uncle Ivor would have been alive during the beginning of the book, to get a better feel of Ivor and Kate's relationship and the background of the story. All in all this was a decent read, if a bit rushed.
