I really enjoyed this story, which is set in the same verse as the Hidden Magic series, but deals with two characters we have not met before. I thought this was truly a story worthy of being a Halloween sip, because the mood that was set was definitely spooky, not to mention Martin himself — who it seems, right from the start is playing the part of the disciplinarian. Through much of the story, I was a little bit scared for Emilio, no matter how much he said that he wasn’t scared of his lover, but that what they were doing was in public, where anyone could walk upon them. It wasn’t until I got further into the story that I could see that Martin was doing this for Emilio, to help him see that he would always be safe with him, especially in the setting they were in — deep in the park, where the vines and trees are like an extension of Martin himself.

As I'm not a great fan of Halloween I miss some good stories and this is one of them!

There is an unusual depth to the characters and the story. It is very difficult to get that much seamless detail into a short piece like this and a very pleasant surprise to find it. I look forward to reading more about this couple in the future.

Another whimsical and sexy vignette in the Hidden Magic universe. In this installment a greenman mage uses his control of plants to help his uptight human lover relax and come to terms with his own nature. It's a breath of fresh air! he he

I'm really enjoying these stories and can't wait for the next full length novel.
