Editorial Reviews

Review

"Fortune is a fast read that you will finish in no time. It will have you questioning who your true friends are and contemplating how gullible someone can be. I would recommend Fortune to those who enjoy stories with a little mystery and a bit of a twist." -Sizzling Hot Book Reviews

"Fortune is a great story that will keep you asking yourself, what would you do? Fortune is a quick, engaging, intriguing read. If you're looking for something different to read, give Fortune a chance." -The Book Hoard

"Initial impression upon finishing this novella? This book is weird. Not weird in the uncle that comes to the family reunion and smiles a little too fondly a couple of beers in and tells off color jokes weird, but in the way that people say Austin, Texas is weird. Hell, it's their slogan. So it is in this affectionately acquiescent way that I say that this novella is weird." -Mama Kitty Reviews.com

3.0 out of 5 stars Really silly but at least a little entertaining

This was a cheesy silly story that I found completely unbelievable but entertaining enough that I wanted to finish it. I most likely won’t seek out anything else by this author, not because they weren’t a good writer, but because the story just wasn’t compelling enough for me.

What would you do if the message in your fortune cookie said you were going to die?

Sara is gullible, superstitious and believes that she is unlucky. So when fate throws in a fortune cooke predicting her death, she starts to panic.

Add an untrustworthy friend, a heartless frenemy and a scary fortune teller all in about 42 pages and you get a rollercoaster read that's interesting, engaging and fun!

I don't know what i expected from this story but it certainly wasn't to be bored. I found myself skipping the boring dialogue and self pity talk to get to the action only to be let down by the predictable plot. It's an ok read. Definitely not something i would read again. I hate to sound mean but this story read like a teenage drama rather than a horror story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simply enjoyable mini-thriller
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2014

The thing that makes a story believable and a great read is when it is just a tiny bit over the edge of reality. This story goes there; to that place which is just beyond normal. With all the bullying stories we hear on the news it’s not too difficult to imagine this scenario actually happening in real life. And that makes it scary!

The story is well written and the main character Sara is probably like someone you know (maybe even you). She is sweet and gullible. Fortune is a wonderful novella and page turner. I recommend setting aside a slice of time since you won’t be able to stop reading until you get to the surprise ending. Enjoy and always know who your real friends are.

Fortune is a short story about a college student named Lisa. She has a life of bad luck. After she gets a fortune cookie that reads 'you will die on Dec. 23rd' she is convinced she will die due to bad luck. This story is a quick read but a good story. You can't help but like Lisa and hate her friends. I liked this story.

The story line was amazing and I loved it. What kept me from giving it a 4-5 star was the ending. I found it unbelievable and was left disappointed.

I downloaded this while this was a freebie. It was enjoyable but I feel that it was probably more suited to a younger audience. It reminded me a little of the movie The Craft. Entertaining and well written. I can't fault it except for the fact that I think it should have been in the teen section.
