I wasn’t sure at first if I would enjoy this book. It’s so short! But not really, it’s 107 pages, so it’s short for me (How long was the last Harry Potter book? Yeah I read that in one day) However, I really enjoyed this book and while Stephen could have stretched it out to a full length novel I was very impressed with his character development of Gavin, Katka and Simona.
The novella is set in Prague, Gavin, an American visiting the city to get away from his troubles in the US has run into this woman, Katka, who he is very attracted to. They wind up together and seemingly in love. However, when they team up with Simona to begin a scam of mail order brides things take a turn. Gavin ends up alone with Simona and decides to keep up the mail order bride business to earn some big money but he wonders if he could ever fix the mistakes he’s made with Katka. I was drawn to this book even though it’s gritty and tough with an undertow of things that some people would never do but greed can make people do crazy things.
Well written and nicely laid out and played out I am giving this book a top rating and can’t wait to read more by Stephen R. Meier.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my book, it's greatly appreciated! And i'm so glad that you liked it. More to come.
Katka is an unconventional novella that made me planning a trip to Prague hoping to find the female character, Simona, somewhere in a club! This book should be read at night, instead of being out and partying, I can tell you, the reader will have so much fun all the same. Katka let you come in a world maybe cruel or immoral
but so far from ordinary lives, you can follow the characaters in their extremely unpredictable actions. It doesn't matter the number of the pages, this is a book you will remember.
