Blood & Bones: An Otherworld Novella

Otherworld / Sisters of the Moon #3.5

by Yasmine Galenorn

We're the D'Artigo Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times.

My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch whose magic is as unpredictable as the weather. My sister Delilah transforms into a tabby cat when she's under stress. And me? I'm Menolly, acrobat-extraordinaire-turned-vampire. But now, I have to learn how to interact with Seattle's undead set--and how to live with myself...

I've got a new job--I'm a bartender at the Wayfarer with Jocko, a giant who was vertically challenged. I'm learning how to come out of my shell again, as hard as it is. My father disowned me, my sisters do their best but I know they're not sure how to act around me--even though I've been a vamp for awhile now.

But when a regular customer comes in, terrified, because he's been turned and he has no idea how to handle his new state, I see red. It's hard enough dealing with my own transition, but when a friend gets turned--that's just too much. So I go on the hunt for the rogue vamp, vowing he'll never steal another person's life, even if I have to die--again--to prevent it.

A Taste Of Menolly

Love this novella !
Menolly is such a complex character , being half vampire and half fae . She's a fighter for the underdog , and is learning to embrace herself as she is now.
Surviving one hell of a trauma has made her stronger and more compassionate.
Along with her sisters , these three are trying to keep balance , and it's not easy.
Pick up this series , Otherworld , and start with Witchling.
I guarantee your life will change. Yasmine Galenorn is so incredibly talented.
Just read it !

This one goes back to when the sisters first came over. It's fun to see them so innocent and not burdened with all they have fought. I really liked how Menolly got to be the good guy with Laddy and show him what life could be.
