This story is a prelude story to the book the Demon Trapper's Daughter by Jana Oliver which is due out beginning of February 2011. This is a very, very short story. It takes maybe 10 minutes to read. The majority of the download is an excerpt from the beginning of the book The Demon Trapper's Daughter...which I didn't read because I don't like reading excerpts (also I already have an ARC of the Demon Trapper's Daughter that I am hoping to read next week).
The story introduces an interesting world were people find shelter under different retro trends and demons regularly infest houses. Riley Blackthorne is a Demon Trapper, and this book gives an account of her doing a small scale demon capture. Riley seems like a plucky character, but the story is too short to really know. The world might be interesting, but again the story is so short that it is hard to get a feel for the world, the character, or the author's writing style.
It is a free download so I can't complain too much.
Overall it is okay. This sample story is not a really good way to get a feel for the author though because it is so very very short. I guess get it if you have read the Demon Trapper's Daughter and enjoyed it. I wouldn't get it to get a feel for the author though it just isn't a large enough sample of her writing.
