Reviewed By Mamta Madhavan for Readers’ Favorite

It is the day before Christmas and Lilly is waiting for her mother to arrive so that she can spend Christmas together with her parents. Her mother works in another city and she was unable to make it on the first day of Christmas because it was snowing way too much. In The Tiniest Elf by Laurentiu M. Badea, Lilly decides to write another letter to Santa Claus, apart from the earlier one she wrote, because she realized she should ask Santa for something else. In the northernmost realm of Lapland, inside Santa’s workshop, Santa’s elves are working to finish the last touches of Santa’s departure. Like every year, Santa’s five trusted elf friends are going with him to share gifts to children all over the world. Lilly is wondering how she can get her letter to Santa Claus. Will Santa get Lilly’s letter on time?

I like the concept and the underlying message of the story which will awaken the child inside all of us. It is such a magical and heartwarming story, and the innocent girl and her wish to be with both her parents for Christmas is tangible. It is a good book to read out to youngsters during the Christmas season as it captures the essence and spirit of the season beautifully. Many children will be able to relate to Lilly’s feelings. It is a good storybook for both read aloud sessions in classrooms and also bedtime story-telling as it conveys a beautiful message to young readers.

Remains - Short Story (book review)

I read Remains, a short story written by Laurentiu M. Badea and I was really impressed by it. The author succeeded to express a lot of feelings regarding funerals and the way someone tries to survive to the grief. This is a story for all those who lost someone close. 

You can find this touching story on Amazon, Apple Ibooks and Kobo, for only 0.99$. What I mostly liked in this story was the strong character created by Laurentiu M. Badea, who is a writer and also a graphic designer. If you need help with your book covers, you can use his services and contact him on Facebook or on LinkedIn.

Embers of Atlanta by Laurentiu Badea - FREE

I have just finished reading this amazing short story written by Laurentiu M. Badea who is a writer, blogger and also a graphic designer. 

Cover created by Laurentiu M.Badea

You can find Laurentiu on his official Facebook page, on Twitter, on Youtube or on his blog Alien Tower where he mostly writes about games and movies in English.

He is also known for The Tiniest Elf (Cel mai mic spiridus), Remains (Ramasite), You don't fool me (Nu ma pacalesti). 

The other day he published on Amazon a new short story - Embers of Atlanta. I had the honour to read his book on my Kindle Touch and it was a great experience. This story has three chapters that escaladate from a dreamy atmosphere in the former to a noir atmosphere in the last one. A story of crime, mystery and lost souls. 

You cand read it for free if you have Kindle Unlimited. 

I mostly appreciated his style, the lack of cliches and that the evolution of the story surprised me. The characters were strong and I definetely believe the story should have a spin-of because I really want to read more about them. I want all details even if sometimes it is better to just dive into the mystery. 

So, I recommend you this book or the other short stories of the author. His style improved a lot recently and the images created in this book are very powerful. 

The words used by the author give life to images and sounds and when you read, you can picture the story and the characters like they were in a movie. You can see that girl walking through the park, you can feel the wind in your veins and the metaphorical embers burning your skin. 

If you like mystery and crime short stories with a dreamy atmosphere, if you like strong characters, this book is for you.
