The Trickster by L.G. Miles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the authors in exchange for an honest review.
This was a cute, spooky and creepy short story geared towards the younger audience of the Young Adult genre.
For a short story with space limited and the purpose to bring the narration to a quick conclusion with as much entertainment and pleasure to reader as possible, I found the characters to be very well developed. Each one had their own distinct purpose without falling into the dreaded stock character category.
The plot was straight forward and to the point without any unnecessary fluff or tangents that would have only confused the reader.
The writing was clear and crisp so that the reader could picture the three friends’ adventure vividly in their mind’s eye.
Overall, this was a delightful quick read that has the flavour of a very well-known story. It captures the elements of the creepy and eerie successfully to make for a very entertaining read. I would recommend it.
