My Review:
I just loved this short story, Tess and Tattoos by author H.A. Leuschel. The story revolves around two characters, Tess and Sandra. Tess is an elderly lady living in a care center while Sandra is a newly hired nurse taking care of her. They form a close relationship in very short amount of time. As a nurse I have spent my whole career working with the elderly and the thoughts that Tess had regarding her stay in the care center were very realistic. I liked both of the main characters but my favorite was Tess. Her backstory was just heartbreaking making me feel such empathy towards her.

H.A. Leuschel’s descriptive writing brings the story to life. I loved the suspense throughout this novella. The author drew me in right at the beginning and the momentum of the plot flowed nicely. The author gives tiny hints throughout of Tess’s past which kept me glued to the story. I really enjoy books that make me wonder what is going on and this one sure did that. The ending was wrapped up nicely and the twist at the end I never saw coming. 
I really enjoyed this quick and suspenseful read. I would recommend this to those who enjoy short stories with a little twist. I would definitely read more by author H.A. Leuschel.
