A Short Trip To Hell: Hellcat Series Origins Volume 1 Kindle Edition

by Sharon Hannaford (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 94 ratings
See all formats and editions
A collection of never-been-told-before short stories that will give you exclusive insight into some of the more enigmatic characters from the Hellcat Series by revealing the most significant events in their early lives. Delve into the events that shaped these individuals into the characters you know and love. Be warned these are not cheerful stories; most often strong characters are forged in the flames of fire and torment. Some will have their happy ending, while others never expect redemption.
While you can, of course, read this collection at any point, the author suggests that to get the most out of it, it should be read after Book 4 in the Hellcat Series. She feels that is when the reader will most appreciate and understand the effects these background stories have on the characters and those around them.
She also says Hellions RULE!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sharon has been calling herself a writer since she was eight years old. She wrote her first auto-biography at age ten. As a teenager, she was teased about being a witch, because she wore lots of black and walked around with her black, Oriental cat on a lead. She never disagreed too loudly, after all, that may have drawn attention to the herd of unicorns that lived in her back garden.

Born and raised in South Africa, she has called New Zealand home since 2008. Her life consists largely of looking after her husband, two kids, three cats, a dog, a pony and a horse, but her working day is spent writing, and her occasional hours off usually include books, horses or a glass of good red wine.

Though she has had many jobs over the years, her favourite is, without doubt, being paid to write about the characters who take up residence in her head. After an early foray into writing for children, Sharon discovered Urban Fantasy; the genre that felt as though it had been created with her in mind. She loves nothing more than to create strong-willed, female lead characters, who challenge those around them almost as much as they challenge themselves.

Sharon also loves animals of all shapes and sizes. She has owned all the usual suspects one would keep as a pet, and a few more exotic ones thrown in for good measure. She spent her teens working at a tourist farm and animal park, and as a result has handled everything from porcupines and warthogs, to ferrets and hedgehogs. She has been surrogate mom to many orphans including; kittens, lambs and an eagle owl. No matter how hard she tries, animals always seem to steal the limelight in her novels.

This was a fantastic collection of companion stories to the Hellcat series. I loved reading about the pasts of some of the colorful characters surrounding Gabi. Each story was well written but the final one was touching and a perfect way to finish up the book. I truly hope there are more stories of this nature in the works. Great read!

2.0 out of 5 stars Short
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Yep! Short. . . still left up in the air about any of the coming characters. Not worth the read or the wasted time to read the novella. It would of meant more as a flash back or part of the prologue. But, after reading four of the Hellcat series doesn't open any doors. Become confused with the indication of werewolves and kitten. Were the characters indicating wolves or cats?

I think this has the beginnings of being as good as the main HELLCAT series. I must say it's a perfect place to read it after book 4 or if more were written they could follow each book or a stand alone series .I loved hearing about razor so sad but explains so much .I would love to read more about Gabi and the animal side .THANK YOU SHARON HANNAFORD YOU DON'T NEED ME TO TELL YOU WHAT A WONDERFUL AUTHOR YOU ARE BUT I WILL ANYWAY .KEEP THEM COMING XXX
