Thank you very much for this review, the idea of characters fully developed in a short story called my attention. I want to read it now and learn from it.
Thanks again!

Glad you enjoyed this one! Sounds like a fun, quirky twist on a usually sad subject. Glad it was such a quick read too. Will definitely be checking this one out :)

You definitely make this sound like a great read. Still not sure about the romance aspect, but going to check out the first ten pages at least. We shall see. Thanks for the great review!

Good job on the review. As you mentioned, this story really does seem anything but dark. After reading the sample, I found it to be quite funny. I'm sure fans of this genre will enjoy this short book. :)

This is an interesting storyline. I have read one other book that dealt with the afterlife in a similar fashion, but this sounds like an even different angle. Congrats on BOTD!!!

I was able to read it with such ease because the pacing was great, and the book flowed perfectly.
I agree with the reviewer's comment about what an easy read it was. I read it in under 45 minutes and posted a review in three places before returning to this raffle.

Congrats on a great review and to the author on being #BOTD! This sounds like a really fun and unique book. I really like that the characters are well developed and that for you the book was really engaging. This is definitely going on my TBR shelf.

The premise drew me in, but the first chapter really caught my attention! Thanks for the review, it really details the elements that I found interesting. :D

Thanks for the detailed review. I have the paperback and The Audible version which I have not read yet. Now that I have the ebook I will definitely be reading it while listening at the same time. I'm glad to hear that we will get to know the characters since that is one thing I don't like about some short stories is that they are too short. I feel left out of important information. Which one makes me want to read the next book NOW and I am not happy about that. Which makes it so that I didn't really enjoy it.

Thanks for your review. It is nice to know that even though the book deals with death that it isn't dark. I like the idea of this "Green Room" and like the idea of a very short read!

This short story sounds very interesting. I would not think that death and romance would go together very well but it seems like it does. I am going to download this short story for sure! I look forward to reading a topic I am not usually into!
