My pen name is K. M. Shea, but my readers—I prefer to call them Champions—call me Kitty.

I love to write funny, clean stories with strong characters. Books like that are among my favorite to read so naturally I love writing stories like that as well. My philosophy is that life is tough, so books should be something that makes you relax and laugh!

Told from Leila's POV
The Paragon agreed to Leila's request/demand for some time to train with a few vampires before her transfer to the Night Court. Josh, Gavino, Celstrina and Rupert train her on different weapons, while teasing Rupert about his budding relationship with the wizards, which he continues trying to deny despite the obviousness of it all.

This is best placed as a prequel for Crown of Shadows and a #3.75 for Hall of Blood and Mercy

The congrats card the vampires sent to Leila was the best bit of this one.

I loved the banter with the Drake vampires, and the hint at a new couple! This short is delightful.

This takes place right at the beginning of Court of Midnight and Deception. It has some spoilers for the first book in that trilogy, so maybe read it after you've read that series, not just Hall of Blood and Mercy. But definitely worth picking up.
