    Smashwords book reviews by Dora Okeyo

    • The Vampire's Valentine: A Holiday Short Story on Feb. 08, 2012
      star star star star star
      I loved reading this short story, because it starts with Chester's (the Vampire) perspective. It's a good 23 page story that keeps you turning pages-reminds me of life in high school and sending out gifts to boys you had a crush on anonymously.
    • The Last Story I Will Ever Write About Her on Feb. 09, 2012
      (no rating)
      Such honesty makes this story a brutal break up story-it made me feel sorry for Missy. Most guys would relate to this story, most ladies would want a guy who really loves them like the main character.
    • Scouting for Lucy on Feb. 17, 2012
      star star star star
      This is a sweet short story, I'd have loved to meet the guy too.
    • The Favour Men: Initiation on Feb. 21, 2012
      star star star star
      I loved Jake's determination in this short story, he's persistent and the story is a depiction of brotherhood and how far brothers would go to help their own.
    • Sweet Revenge on Feb. 24, 2012
      star star star
      The ending is a shocker, but it's a great piece of writing.
    • Only in my Memories on Feb. 26, 2012
      star star star star
      This is a short story,of how much dreams can be insights into who we are and our hearts desires. It's a great quick read, that leaves you feeling happy, settled, and longing for more of such stories.
