Book Review of The Undertaking of Tess

The Undertaking of Tess
kdurham2813 avatar reviewed on + 753 more book reviews


A prequel novella that comes before the book I will be reviewing later today. The reader is introduced to two sisters - Birdie and Tess as children before a major life event occurs that will send their childhoods into a tail spin. Both girls are affected by this event and will react in different ways.

I enjoyed the introduction to the girls knowing that I would have a whole book to follow with a story, so it was nice to start in their childhood. I would have loved to learn a little more about their mother, but it was obvious that her absence was a part of the story. I just wanted more!

The narration was interesting and continued to the full novel, so I will talk more about that later today.

As a concept I like prequel novellas, but I definitely like to read them before I dive into the book and/or series.
