Description
The cabbie only remembers taking a break, pulling over in an alley to catch both his breath and the sunrise. His windshield shatters, and two people dash away. He tries to scream, to move, but his neck won’t turn. He can only stare at the cab's dirty ceiling. Finally, a deliveryman calls the cops. Surely, they’ll arrive soon, but we’re pinned in place right along with him as he tries to puzzle it all out.
In this second installment of the CSAP novella series, award-winning author L. Marie Wood uses her descriptive powers to bring us fully into one incident in a person's life, and hold us there, transfixed, until we see it all, crystal clear.

Thank you to NetGalley and RDS Publishing for an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for my honest review!
This short-story was like nothing I'd ever read before (in a good way); Based on the description I thought to myself, "how in the world could an author write a full story about a single instance in time?!" But this author did it in amazingly descriptive detail!! It felt as if I were directly inside the mind of the MC, thinking along with him!
I'm excited to read more from this author - and I definitely recommend giving this one a try!

What an amazing book to start the new year off with. I’d like to thank the author and Netgalley for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review. This book pulls you in from the very beginning, no easing you in nope bam action in the first page. While this is only a short story, it was done to perfection. No page felt unnecessary. If anything it left me wanting more! I wish this was a full novel but it was 5 stars regardless for the amazing writing and unique storyline. Definitely recommend everyone reads this as it’s short and sweet ( not so sweet but you know what I mean)

**Thank you to NetGalley and Raw Dog Screaming Press for the eARC of this great novella!**
For only being 80 pages long, 12 hours really packed a punch. I was excited to learn that this novella is part of a series, as I am definitely interested in reading more like this from L. Marie Wood.
We jump right into the story into the mind and internal dialogue of a cabbie that is stuck staring at the ceiling of his cab. When I tell you I was stressed while reading this - I am not exaggerating.
Check this one if you like chilling horror, creeping suspense, and all-around great novellas!
