***I was provided an ecopy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review***I liked the concept of this novella. It is cool to see gay characters take the lead in a paranormal fantasy novel. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. It was done very basic and didn't turn out to be that unique. There are many cliches, but you should go into reading this knowing it is very lighthearted. Maybe this is just because the story is so short, but I didn't feel this story was fully fledged out. I have read short stories that had a lot more depth that this 45 page story. The dialogue was bad. There were many awkward moments. And I wanted more romance. There was sex, but not romance. I give this novella a 2/5. I think it has a lot of potential and I would be interested in seeing this world, story, and its characters fully fledged out. These 45 pages just did not do it for me. Blake is the chosen one and he is sent to check on a demon and report back but leave it to him to attempt to take care of the demon without orders. It was then that Shadow showed up planning to do the same thing because he too, is the chosen one. The boys must work together to banish the demon back to where it came from but can they manage to work out differences to do it?Short, fast and funny. I couldn't help but laugh out loud a couple of times especially at how Blake and Shadow talked around the demon at first. I couldn't help but say in my mind is this guy serious? It was hard to take anything serious with this book. Overall I enjoyed this short story and look forward to seeing more from the author. 4.5 stars.
What do You think about Few Are Chosen (2012)?
This was hilarious if you've watched all the Buffy and Angel episodes as many times as I have.

Short, somewhat absurd, and highly entertaining! I rather enjoyed this.

You know a story is good when you keep laughing during edits...
