Ok, so I did this tour knowing that this was book SEVENTEEN in the series. Although this is a novella I did realize that there was no way for me to catch up prior to the tour date. So, knowing this I do feel like I missed out on some things. I think this can stand on it's own but I do want to know more, a LOT more.Brenda's writing is really good! It's phenomenal to read something that is given to you straight, no lolly gagging behind a bunch of useless words! She does describe the situation but she skips crap that we just plain don't need! Could this have been a full book? Probably! But I'm glad that she does this. I was able to get into the meat of the story very quickly and become interested in the characters much faster because of the way she writes but stuff does happen very quickly because of this. And at the same time it almost takes away from getting to know these characters. I mean the two main characters were kissing and I was like, wait, you don't even KNOW each other! That's kind of pivotal right?Although, if I were to meet someone like Marcus, I don't think I would be too worried about not knowing him very well. Especially during the kissing part! ;) Avy is a very interesting characters as well. Distraught over her parent's death but not in a "damsel in distress" way. Oh no, she's about to tear some stuff up!! Busby though, ohhh Busby! You were my favorite cuddly character!! Can I adopt you please!?That being said, there was something missing. Maybe it is the first 16 parts! I'm not sure but I didn't feel a connection, like, totally in love with the characters as they moved through the plot. That's not to say that I didn't have fun reading this, because I totally did. The paranormal element was RIGHT up my alley. The plot was really good,  I just want more!So, I think I'm going to start with the first 16 parts and then come back and redo this review! I think that would be fair to Brenda, to you, to myself and to her wonderful story!
