I picked this up as a free download while looking for short stories to review on my Monday Minis post.
There are two different covers for this book.
I like this one from Goodreads the best.
And here is the one from Amazon.
My Review
The last thing Steve wanted to be doing was cleaning out the shed. He’d rather be sitting on the couch watching football, but his wife is counting on him.
He does odd jobs in the yard, stalling entering the shed.
Vivid flashbacks to what happened in there almost knock him to his knees.
No, he doesn’t want to go in there.
As you can guess, Steve does go in the shed.
It goes from weird to bad very quickly.
While I enjoyed this story, I felt the ending was just a bit disjointed or rushed. I seemed to stumble a little while reading it. Could be just me.
However, I did enjoy it, and even though I had an idea of what would happen to Steve, I had no idea how. The author got creative.
This is Book Two in a series, but from what I can tell, they don’t need to be read in any order. Each is a separate story with different characters.
I’ll read more from this author.
