    I've ended up reading the whole series, including the side characters and stories. They have all been entertaining and while I do have character preferences, all of them were well developed and suggest that you check them out.

    This is the pre-quel to the Reconstructionist series. It is short story about what happens to the teenagers in the book. It is poignant and thoughtful. It reminded me of how much angst is enveloped in those adolescent years and how teens feel so deeply. This author does not have her characters jump into relationships quickly and I like that. Sometimes I wish they would move a little faster in some of her books. The Graveyard Kiss is a look back that explains the beginning of this series. This novella is important to the series, as it makes you feel more for the victims and those left behind.

    3.0 out of 5 stars YA dramatic short
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019
    Am I doing this in the wrong order? I am a completionist and decided to start with 0.5 of the reconstructionist series, but I'm feeling a little lost.

    We join Luci, who I don't know (do we get to know her?) and I went right from the Dowser and Oracle into this... high school drama? Luci is a teenager who is adapting to life and mourning her boyfriend in a very unique way. These two are in love in the way that only high schoolers can be, complete with notes, hearts, and poetry. He ends up following up on something on the internet and suddenly she is at his funeral and then at his grave. Then things get... weird. As a short story I'm left a little confused and not sure where it's supposed to be going. Maybe that will be a little clearer when I dive into book 1.

    This short story is an entertaining read, with a twist that is absolutely perfect. Doidge’s stories always draw me in, and although this is a very short story set in the world of The Dowser Series, it’s characters are new. And yet, the characterization and emotions Doidge elegantly writes onto the page quickly drew me into the plot—even at only 7000 words. I’d love to see this go somewhere—perhaps Luci will show up in the next Dowser Series novel? One can hope.

    Luci is into Victorian love poetry and her boyfriend, Colby, tends to like poetry of a different type. They exchange all sorts of love notes which she writes in pencil.

    This short story packs a big punch and an ending at sunset which will surprise you.

    Highly recommended.

    I always love a Dioge book and even though this is a short story, it really fills a need. It introduces her new series, reconstructionist. I'm an addict for her mystery/paranormal books even though I can be darn prejudiced against paranormal books normally. An author has to find a balance between getting the reader to suspend disbelief and throwing in enough possible reality to make it easily believable. I find Diodge is an expert at that. Start here and read ALL her books, you won't be disappointed.

    I wasn't really sure what to expect from this, but I actually really enjoyed it! I loved Luci, and I loved the little twists in the story, it was really funny and clever!
    The ending was also good, and I was impressed at the little twist we got there too! Great short story overall!
    8 out of 10.
