I received a free kindle copy of Spirit Board, A Flash Fiction Story by Chuck Grossart in an Amazon promotion.

I gave this very short story four stars. The cover for this story was chosen well.

Cassie Mattis was a curious young woman. "Once a subject captured Cassie's fancy, there was no denying her quest for information, her desire to learn, & to experience first-hand." Since I'm an avid reader & a perpetual student, this description resonated with me.

Fortunately, I don't have the same interests she did that brought an unexpected conclusion to her search for knowledge.

First of all, I like it that the Author has researched the field before starting to write the book and he knows what he is talking about. There are actually facts and things that happened in real life mixed with fiction in this book and that is very thrilling and exciting to know before you even start reading.

I like that the story is well mapped-out, meaning that the place where everything is happening and the key characters are nicely described in the beginning and that gives you the ability to visualize it all and let the story in, so to speak. The main heroine, Penny Lane is a very approachable, next-door type of girl with a spark in her eyes. She helps people investigate paranormal incidents that they think happened to them, sometimes there is nothing paranormal about those cases but sometimes there is…

It was a great read, well-paced and thrilling. It was everything that the title of the book promised and more. I completely and totally enjoyed it even though it is not something I usually read. I think this book is a great way to start the series about Penny and her adventures. I would definitely love to read more of it.
