Blurb:
When Jack Daniels goes into the local bar for a drink on Halloween, he meets Christian Lightfoot, a demon who shows him the truth about his wife Ashley’s infidelity. Jack learns he’s about to become the recipient of a large inheritance, and his wife has plans for it—plans that don’t include him. Will he live in spite of her evil plot to murder him, or will he choose another path…and walk upon The Darker Side of Goodness?
My Review:
Thought provoking and twistedly interesting little short story. You feel Jack's world finish its crumbling descent to the darkest depths of betrayal. Trying to decide what to believe and how important knowing the deepest truth can be a difficult decision with heavy consequences.
While there is heartache and anger and a thread of suspended disbelief wrapped into the story, there is also a touch of twisted justice and redemption and revenge that makes the story complete.

MICHELLE! Thank you so much for this! I have some ideas I am hoping to be able to develop in the future to expand this story. Wish the Twilight Zone was still going on--I think this would make a great ep! LOL Thanks so much for your review!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome!!
DeleteMichelle writes such wonderful reviews and she has really piqued my interest in this one. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteChristine, she does write wonderful reviews, and I'm so thankful for her and her willingness to do so! This is just a short novella, but I have plans a-plenty for it. LOL I'm hoping to just have the TIME to sit down and write what I need to write.
DeleteWell, m'dear, you're just gonna have to MAKE time...you can't leave your eager readers hanging. You have such interesting plots, so I'll enjoy reading this one. And yes, Michelle, your reviews complement the stories you review.
ReplyDeleteAw, Elizabeth, you always say the sweetest things--so appreciated. I have so many "people" running around in my head it's hard to keep them all in line and make them wait their turn. Sometimes they do get unruly. LOL Thanks so much for stopping by, dear friend.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love that his name is Jack Daniels! I feel sorry for him already. Conniving and betrayal are killing all his joy.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this cover.
Congratulations on this wonderful review, Cheryl.
Hi Sarah, yes there is a story behind that, as you might well imagine. LOL This is one of those stories that is not a romance and has an unexpected ending. But at some point, when I expand on this story, there will be happier endings! LOL
