Tiffany's grandmother sees something wild in her future -- but is 16-year-old Tiffany prepared for the powerful shape it will take? When she takes over her grandmother’s fortune telling booth for a day, some really strange things happen… CAT CALLS is a short story by New York Times Bestseller Cynthia Leitich Smith -- set in the same dark universe as her novels Tantalize, Eternal, and Blessed.
If you’re looking for a free, quick read that will
entertain you for a half hour (depending on how fast you read), this is one to
read. I myself was looking for a read that wouldn’t take a lot of time and was
another book I could add to my list (50 books in one year). With school, I don’t
have as much time to read as I did before, but I always want to use my mind in
that area. So, it really worked out for me.
Though I cannot go into detail about characters, plot,
romance, and the normal stuff I would mention because this story runs very
briefly, I can say that I did enjoy what the story had to bring. Over the last
couple of weeks (ok, maybe months), I’ve learned I love short stories for the
very reason that they have everything a big, lengthy novel has, but in a
minimal size.
One of the things I liked about this story was that it felt
like the main character’s (Tiffany) journey was just beginning. Which could
mean that this could be a prequel of some sort. I’m not exactly sure if that’s
what the author has in mind or if these books have already been published.
However, while I like that the ending opens up opportunity for future stories
for Tiffany, it also stands as a standalone beautifully. In this story there’s
a beginning, middle, and end. There are several unanswered questions left, but
that’s where the reader’s imagination comes in.
So, if you have a Kindle (or like myself, a Kindle app),
my advice is go download this short story. You won’t regret it. It’s free, what
else could you possibly want?
Last minute blogger’s note: I just looked at the story
description and I guess there are more books to this series. Not quite sure,
but I guess I’ll do some research.
