Review: Kill Me with Chocolate

Kill Me with Chocolate by Frank Scozzari
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I got this as a freebie on Amazon and the story line intrigued me. Just how far was a man willing to go to give his woman what she wants? Or at least what she says she wants.

I enjoyed this story and loved the majority of the build up, but the ending fell a touch flat for me. I understand the meaning behind it and the simplicity of it, but more than likely a lot of people won't understand the point. Just a touch more to it and I would call it perfect.
If you're looking for a very short, 17 pages, story to read, then this would probably be a good choice for you. Frank Scozzari also has quite a few other good short stories as well.

Review: Hawkes Harbor

Hawkes Harbor by S.E. Hinton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This takes place mostly in the 1960's and tells the tale of Jamie, a guy who grows up on the sea with a con artist named Kellan. After multiple cons and adventures, he meets up with a vampire while trying to steal his treasure. Jamie spends the rest of his life with him.

I know this was originally meant to be a "Dark Shadows" background story, but I decided to forego that in order to judge the book as is. Overall this is a good book, but very different from the "Outsiders" and not appropriate as a continuation of the "Dark Shadows" series. This is written in the classic gritty style that S.E. Hinton is famous for, but not a good fit for most of the fans. I am also a fan of vampire stories and felt like this was more of a human type story, from Jamie's life and viewpoint. Would I recommend it, maybe for some people, but not to all. There are sex scenes and language that are not appropriate for those under 18, so I would not consider this a teen book.
