Hungry Business
A Short Story
By Maria DeBlassie
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a very short story, with a lot to say. While it is a horror story, it is not the scarry type. I love the dating aspect. I have had these dates, we all have. Which makes this story fun over a cup of coffee. Just the right size to occupy your time while waiting. I hope you find the humor I found.

Maria DeBlassie is a new author for me. But what a great find. This is a well written fast read with an ending. Love the many aspects of finding a beating heart among the living dead. I will most definitely be looking for more from Maria BeBlassie. Well Done Maria DeBlassie! Well Done!

Chi: A Short Story 2 (UNDER GROUND #0.6) by Alice Rachel – Review by Jana Teppih

Chi: A Short Story 2 (UNDER GROUND #0.6)Chi: A Short Story 2 by Alice Rachel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chi 2 by Alice Rachel is a short story that should be read after the 2nd book and Stephen Richard’s Novella 2 and it is part of her Under Ground series. Again, I will anger some of the Under Ground series fans as I will say that I do not understand how Chi could live his life being so clueless! I would have thought that living as an Unwanted and how strong the undertones of abuse were in their household! The way his mother treated his brother, the way his father treated his brother, oh man, could he not get the feeling that something is wrong?! He says himself “Stephen has been in pain for a very long time. I can feel his emotions as if they were my own. His pain flows through my skin as if we shared the same body. And I just hurt from looking at him.”
I love how Alice keeps giving us glimpses into the main characters’ history and she does it in such a compelling way!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chi 1 is a short story in Alice Rachel’s Under Ground series, there will be another Chia short story. You absolutely need to read ALL of the short stories that Alice keeps writing as they offer you such an insight into the characters that help you to understand the main story line and the characters’ motivations better.
Chi 1 will fill some of the gaps that you might have been thinking hmmm while reading the first book, it also gives a different perspective. Do NOT let yourself fooled by the limited pages, the writer does not pull punches and every single page counts! It totally has romance, drama and dystopian angst.
I suggest that if you are a fan of Under Ground series, keep reading the short stories, you will enjoy and appreciate the full books much more.
