This has been in my TBR pile since the end of 2012, a novella, which in its short form is compelling. Thoroughly enjoyed. ( )

My thoughts:
I was captured by the first paragraph. Vivi Anna brings Kirsten and the story to life in this well-written, clever, fast-paced novella. Lost is vividly descriptive and filled with carefully created characters. The emotions running through the story are strong and compelling. The relationships seem to appear simplistic on the surface, but run deep and strong in the hearts of the characters. The many facets of the lives in Bandit Creek are intriguing. This is a great start to what I believe will be a successful series. I can't wait to read more. ( )
