This was a fun, quick read. I have really taken a liking to Patricia Briggs' world of werewolves and really liked the Mercy Thompson series, so I picked up this novella to see if I wanted to continue reading Briggs's stories without the perspective of Mercy. I will surely pick up the full version of Anna and Charles's story, as this was a nice entree to their story, it lacked the intensity I am used to with Briggs, if only for the fact that it was a novella. This should not sway anyone from reading it, especially if you want to get an idea of Briggs' writing style without investing in a whole novel.
