The pacing in this was incredibly fast. I realize it needs to be relatively fast because of the length, but it just felt overly fast to me at many points. The "evil" was a bit too cartoonish, in my opinion, but with the pacing I suppose that's necessary. It's interesting and I wouldn't be opposed to reading a sequel it was just a bit more hectic than my personal preference.
🌟🌟🌟 3.5 stars🔥🔥 Heat Level: 2A thrilling opening and quick witchy read!This book has a great opening which enthralled me. The synopsis was a little different to what I thought the book might be and I didn’t realise the characters would be so young!The story follows 18-year-old, Whitney as he travels to his Uncle’s house to help earn some money for his family and himself. Upon arrival, he meets Griffin and their instant connection speaks to love at first sight. But Griffin is under the control of...
A Joyfully Jay review. 4.25 starsFirst, I must commend Norris on the presentation of the story, which kept me guessing until the very end. The book opens with a pivotal scene near the climax of the book. The reader is introduced to Whitney, who is searching frantically for Griffin in the creepy confines of Uncle Robert’s restaurant after dark. Tension builds as Whitney flits from room to room and doesn’t find Griffin…until he goes to the walk-in freezer where a horrific scene waits for him with
The premise for this one was more interesting than the execution. I didn't really like or care for any of the characters much -- though I did feel sorry for Griffin. He was in a hard place. Whitney was a bit whiny and I didn't like how he coveted someone else's relationship (view spoiler)[Even though cousin November turns out to be the big bad doing horrible things to get her every whim catered to, it still wasn't cool for Whitney to act on his attraction to Griffin the way he did. (hide spoile...
Received from Netgalley. Short, fast paced with an abstract feeling. Zombies but not quite zombies. Whitney and Griff were sweet.

I received a copy of Half-Life by Gregory L. Norris via IndiGo Marketing & Design in exchange for an honest review. I was expecting some kind of supernatural spookiness in this story from the synopsis, which it delivered. What I was not expecting was the most unique cure for one of the genre’s favorite tropes! It alone added a star to my review. While I’m not a fan of insta-love, the main characters, Whitney and Griffin, were easy to like. Whitney’s talisman against evil was not new but used to
The story is one that starts at the denouement and then jumps back to how the hero managed to get into this situation. The plot is made up of a number of familiar elements. The hero is the product of poor circumstances and is forced to accept charitable support from affluent family, who represent ideals antipathetic to his own. Characterisation is limited by the length of the story, as are contextual factors. An effective short story should be one that is able to overcome the constraints of the
RATING: 3 STARSREVIEW:Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for giving me the chance to read this story!For some reason, Whitney, a young poet with a foot fetish, moved to his rich Uncle’s house. There, he had to endure being with her mean cousin, November, and fall in love with Griffin, her cousin’s boyfriend. But there was something not cool going on around, something dark, and could be deadly if not prevented.I immediately fell in love with Whitney’s character. His foot fetish was overwhelming th...
