Review: Expensive for the length...

So “Midnight Shadows” is an epilogue in the form of a short story featuring the characters from one of her earlier books. Allegra and Douglas got their full story in Midnight Angel. Making “Midnight Shadows” not a standalone, I would defiantly say read “Midnight Angel” first.  I loved that book so I jumped at the chance to catch up and see how they are going a few months down the track. Of course it isn’t always a happy ever after and Allegra and Douglas are having a few issues, but nothing a bit of time together in a luxury hotel suite won’t sort out. ;-)Of course then the life threatening crisis breaks into their romantic getaway and Douglas and Allegra must jump into action. I found that section of the book a bit fanciful. I didn’t get Allegra going undercover, it just seemed a bit silly. This book was only 45 pages long which I consider really short for a book of this price. It did seem like “Midnight Shadows” was a vehicle for Lisa Marie Rice to introduce some characters for a new book. Fine thats ok, but I feel ripped off paying the same price as for a full length book when it’s just a hook. Either make it super cheap or free. The thing is I have bought other Lisa Marie Rice short stories before that where also continuations of her full length books. After this one I don’t think I will fall for that again.This is well written and the price verses  the length is the main reason I would only give it 2 stars. I would defiantly recommend reading the first book “Midnight Angel” but unless “Midnight Shadows” was on sale I probably won’t bother.
