Review:
The second story in this trilogy of shorts is
one that will have you groaning or thrilled depending on your stance on certain
creatures that have become popular in recent years in the media. Being not a fan, this story was one that had
me groaning a lot, but overall I enjoyed it just the same. With reluctance, Pia
Cuelebre is headed to Hollywood to visit with the head of the Light Fae in a
diplomatic exchange, but no way in hell is Dragos letting his mate—his pregnant
mate—out of his site for that long, so together, but apart, they travel to
California. When they arrive, things
immediately begin to go awry and only their strength and love for one another
will keep Dragos from becoming a monster and possibly decimating the entire
world. I loved seeing Pia stand by her
man, even while others threatened to tear them apart. She showed once again that as unconventional
as their mating was they are definitely made for one another. Dragos just wants to keep his mate safe and
traveling with her seems the best way, but he never imagined he’d find himself
in the middle of a takeover by zombie-like light Fae and the sorcerer
converting them. Watching him fighting
for his life and sanity, while still protecting his wife and unborn child shows
us just how deep his love and protectiveness goes, but the truly great thing is
the way Pia’s optimism and determination to help others has slowly rubbed off
on him. This story was a great
continuation though very short and I am looking forward to book three in the
short series as well as the next full length novel. Another hit Thea.
