This was definitely (for me) a great attention grabber and really drew me into the story creating the need for me to go out to the bookstore like right NOW to buy The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings. I felt that the introduction to the world and issues being faced in the Shallows were all highlighted and relationships and characters were established, setting up perfectly for the first book. Lindsay Cummings did a fantastic job with this and was even able to throw some game changers into this short prequel novella and develop some great character growth for Meadow the main character in a short amount of time. There isn't much more to say for the fact that I don't want to give anything away so I will stop fangirling!
