Every once in a while I peruse through Amazon looking for a new series to sink my teeth into, and I always love it when there is a prequel or some other inexpensive short read I can purchase to see if the series is something I’m interested in as, lets be honest, book blurbs don’t always put the best foot forward, as it were.  And this is how I came across the series, 13 to life.  Unfortunately, I didn’t find this particular prequel, Beasts and Bffs, to be all that riveting.  Perhaps it was just way to short for me to make any connections, but I did read it twice (it’s that short) to make sure I didn’t miss anything the first time around, and upon the second read, I still didn’t feel much in terms of the story.  Three girls go for a jog, two of them hate each other, and during a bickering fight, they hear something rather large in the woods with them.  And that pretty much sums it up.  For me, that didn’t spur me on to read the rest of the series, so while it’s not totally off my radar, I’m sorry to say it’s just not one that caught my attention, either.  Two stars.

I purchased this novella from Amazon.
