Little Deaths Review:
“Little Deaths” is a unique concept that reminded me of the tales from “The Twilight Zone” or “The Outer Limits” and turned out to be a deliciously evil book to read.
Everything about the story is so fresh. The concept was so intriguing to me right at the beginning as Jessica goes to the Agency where they run a business to help people end their lives. As soon as you read something like this, you know you have to find out what happens! Little does Jessica realize that she is making a deal with the devil. What follows is surprising twists and turns where you wonder what will happen to her.
Moreover, I liked Jessica in the lead and thought she was pretty clever. I enjoyed the scenes that she shares with Abe and wondered how one would outsmart the other. The author also manages to steam some pages with the passion that Nick and Jessica share. Considering its size, I thought the author delivered quite a lot in the tale, as there is never a dull moment.
However, as the story was concise, it would have been nice if the author added a few more details. For instance, I don’t think we got an explanation for why Jessica was sad in the first place or what made her changed her mind later on. I would have liked the character more had we known more about her.
Nevertheless, “Little Deaths” is an entertaining story, and I think it is a great choice to read for Halloween if you are a reluctant reader and like stories that that short yet creepy.
