Book Review: A Tree for Olive

 

Kostas, a Pane made directly from the god Pan himself, neglected his duties. Many of his flock were lost to disease and predators until a crone curses him, making him pay for his abandonment. His flesh now the bark of a olive tree, his hand and legs now its branches and roots.

The human healer Olive needs oil. The palliative elements of the natural remedy will help many people she serves. Out searching for fresh fruit, she discovers more than she bargained for. When the air becomes thick, fogging her brain, she's in for a wild afternoon.


My Review

Kostas did not mean to anger a Pan, but he is now suffering the consequences as an olive tree. To break the curse, he will have to find someone who can bring out the best in him. Kostas never thought the day would come when he could be himself again as he has been a tree for fourteen years. 

This all changes when Olive, a healer comes upon him. Like literally. Olive is not afraid of Kostas and feels a connection with him. While the one scene was only one sided, it was still a steamy one. 

Come on admit it, if there came be a book about a door then it is not that strange to read a story about a tree. Oh, why is this short story everything and more I did not know I needed. You could say that Olive was "olive" for Kostas. Looking for your next quickie read, grab this short story. 





This is a steamy, slightly absurd, insta-love short story with open door scenes.
