Blog Tour: Book Review: It Will Be Quick by Karl Drinkwater
Today I am sharing my review of It Will Be Quick by Karl Drinkwater: This book is made up of a variety of short stories. There will be something for everyone here!
Book Description:
A single decision can save – or ruin – a life.
An opportunistic baby theft by a young woman in pain. Two strangers shipwrecked on a lifeless rock, unable to speak the same language. An isolated cycling holiday descends into terror. One woman seeks the courage to destroy her life. A miracle unites a community, and teenagers take a stand against hypocrisy.
Karl Drinkwater presents characters to root for – and characters to dread – in sixteen tales of humanity, endurance, and spirit.

Jessica’s Review:
This collection of 16 short stories has something for everyone! All these tales center on a decision that is made and the story varies depending on that decision. These stories will bring a variety of emotions to the reader, and each reader will have a favorite depending on how they feel at the time of reading It will be Quick. My preferences are thriller focused, so my favorite story was FileKiller. I was intently reading it and there was no way I could do what Trina did: I got anxiety just by reading this one!
The stories can range in length from a few pages to the longer ones. Drinkwater also included notes at the end of the book on how and where each came from. This adds to each of the stories and I enjoyed that.
