Six Mile Store Review
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Six Mile Store, but this 125-page novella completely captivated me.
Set in the 1990s at a small-town gas station, it drew me in from the very first pages, and I ended up reading it in one sitting.
The premise itself is so compelling, with Honey working weekends at the Six Mile before everything begins to unravel when a regular customer turns up dead.
The characters are wonderfully intriguing, and I especially enjoyed reading from Honey’s point of view. Her voice pulled me deeper into the story, while Lisa’s perspective later helped bring everything together in such a satisfying way.
What I loved most was how unexpected the story became. I genuinely didn’t see the outcome coming for these characters. I don’t want to reveal too much of the plot because this is one of those stories that feels almost magical to experience firsthand, without any prior knowledge of where it’s heading.
A wonderfully written novella with memorable characters that truly stay with you. A great read.
