The prequel to Kassandra Lyall Preternatural Investigator Series. A short story about the relationship dynamics between Eris, a prime Eros vampire and Zaphara of the Daoine Maithe.

Take the cover for what you will, but a BDSM story this is not. There is mention of a whipping but nothing on page. The one brief sex scene is very tame, of course, that could be subjective.

I did like the vampire slant. And this book had the desired effect. It prompted me to check out more work by this author. I like her style.

At only 4000 words this is a very quick read.

NOTE to self - Copy purchased from Bold Strokes Books website.

This is not a super good example of her work, though it was good enough for me to check out the rest of her works when I originally read it in Women of the Dark Streets: Lesbian Paranormal. Actually that particular book had me checking out most of the authors that are featured in it.

This is a bit of a side story to one of the side characters in the main story for Witch Wolf, and it's subsequent novels in the `Kassandra Lyall Preternatural Investigator Series`. At the very least, it is worth the read. The books for Kassandra are far more interesting, at least for me, and enough so that I always religiously check back to see if she has published any further books.

This just adds a bit more background to the world of Kassandra Lyall. As it has been noted, those expecting whips and chains will be disappointed-ish.

Still, worth the read.

An OK short story.

More Background for another series than a true story in itself. Eris is a character in the novel Witch Wolf by the same author. This short story gives a bit more info on her character, but on it's own it's not that interesting. You'll probably enjoy this short story more as a companion to her other novel.

It’s been too long since I’ve read the books hat this one ties into. I might have to reread those books again... but the synopsis implies that this would bdsm.... or at least a little bit annnnnd it was not. Everything is kind of vague and nonspecific and you aren’t my really sure what’s going on? I remember Pennington’s books being more detailed than this...

This is a short novella from the lesbian wolf series. Probably a 30min at most read.
