Book Info: Genre: Urban Fantasy Reading Level: Adult

Disclosure: I received picked up a free copy of this eBook from Barnes & Noble.com; I am happy to provide an honest review.

Synopsis: Siobhan O'Donnell's quiet life is disrupted when a dead body drained of blood is left inside her Mirror shop. Elf Detective Oberon Geld suspects Siobhan as does the DA but only because she's a vampire. Aided by Oberon's estranged brother, Abyssinian, Siobhan is given twenty-four hours to solve the case or face charges of murder. This is a short story/prequel.

My Thoughts: This is a short story, so it doesn’t allow a huge amount of plot or character development, and it also feels like it should fit within a series somewhere, and it is listed as a prequel. It’s a very interesting idea and I’m going to look into this series, find out what else might be in it, and check it out. At this point I don’t have that information, but will update this review once I know. If you enjoy urban fantasy, especially vampires and elves, then you’ll want to check this short out.

I love Phaedra Weldon's Zoe Martinque series and expected this to be as good. I realize this is a short story, but I felt there were aspects that could have been more developed. When I finished, I didn't feel the story was complete.
