I liked this short story, I just wish it would have been a little longer. Glad I got picked as a first-reads winner.

The problem with quick reads for me is they are just not enough! I wanted more depth and i wanted to know if there was an even happier ending! I don't think quick reads are for me, there's too much left to be explored but I liked it for what it was. It was cute short and snappy read, which made me giggle.

This is definitely not for kids! This is a yaoi manga of short stories by Kou Yoneda. There are three main storylines. My favorite was the first story, in which the characters on the cover were featured. They're quick reads, but cute adult-based stories.
  
Macey is a naive high schooler who wants to find a date to prom. She reads way to much and decides to use 10 steps from her favorite romance novels in order to get a boy for prom.

This is a short, sweet, and uniquely funny book. The premise is cute and while Macey is beyond naive towards the true love it is so short it doesn't matter.

Descriptive Morsel
I've never read any of this author's work but after getting a glimpse into his deviant mind I will say that I will definitely be reading more of his wicked reads. This dark and twisted short story was over way too quickly as I found myself captivated by this descriptive morsel of a tale. Be prepared to experience what feels like a full-length book all packed into this short story.

As someone who reads a lot of erotica, this was not the worse nor the best. First of all, it was very short with little development beyond learning about the characters. Some of the dialogue with just awkward to read and I found myself skipping over certain scenes. Do not be fooled. There is nothing kinky about this book.

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

I loved this book!! It is heavily influenced by Sherlock Holmes (whom I love). Fans of Sherlock and classic detective books will love this book.

I love how short & sweet this book is, yet it is able to fit the full story in. Also, I am a big fan of books with short chapters. For some reason, it makes me read them faster, haha.

The plot and two main characters felt real.

I'll definitely be reading more of this author and this series. =)

I really enjoyed this book and read it in a very short space of time. It was interesting hearing the minutiae of how he performed his heists.

He was very woman obsessed though. It reads very 60's sexist but otherwise a fun read!

This is a collection of four stories although the first one is my favourite. As always with short stories, there is a lot of information given and things happen very quickly but still this is a good collection! If you like dragons and fantasy/paranormal reads then I recommend this one.
