An eShort Story

After Maureen's husband dies, she imagines that the years of abuse are over, but while looking for the Halloween decorations in the attic, Maureen finds a gift-wrapped GPS with her name on the box: an early birthday present from her late husband.

This book kept me wondering and didn't disapoint. It was a fun book but kept you wondering and thinking about it for days later

Good read for a short story.

This was not my favorite Jennifer Weirner book. However, for a short story it was entertaining. I actually listened to it twice.

Great narrator, okay plot

This creepy little short was good. I’d never read any of her stuff before, and honestly, I picked it up from Audible simply because Susan Bennett narrated it.

For a .99 cent book, it wasn’t a bad read. The plot is pretty straightforward. Maureen, a victim of domestic abuse throughout her long marriage, finally gets the courage to off her husband, Tommy, as he slowly wastes away from cancer.

Several months later, she discovers a gift he left her stashed away in their attic. It’s a GSP. But Maureen quickly discovers her GPS is haunted by the spirit of her dead husband, and he wants revenge.

I think Weiner wanted this to be a goofy-yet-slightly creepy Halloween short, and it sort of works. But there are times when Maureen is extremely slow on the uptake and that detracts from the overall story.

If you want to be a little entertained and just want something that’s a quick read, you’ll probably like this book.

Short and Unsweetened

Ah, marriage. Such promise, such disappointment. Especially when you have to fight your husband for control of your soul. Yes, he gave you a lovely life but at what cost? When a gift becomes a threat, would you be able to hold out? Read this short. It's glorious.

Unexpected great read

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
