Ruby is a paranormal short story from the Mystic Stones series by Kayla Curry. Curry released this short 5,000-word tale of her two main characters to tease readers into exploring the series, and it definitely works.The short is a glimpse into the relationship between the two main characters, Ava and Tom. Ava is a leasing agent in a business complex, and her job is basically to rent out offices to wealthy business tenants. Tom, similarly, runs Psytech--one of the companies that rents from the company Ava works for.The paranormal catch? Tom is a vampire. An important one who works for powerful people. And he wants Ava... both for business and personal reasons.Because Ruby is just a teaser, we don't get a lot answers behind Tom's paranormal nature. Honestly, more questions are raised than answered, but that's what happens in a teaser. The pacing worked well, and the sections were evenly split between Tom and Ava's perspectives. It was easy to follow along.I enjoyed Ruby. There was danger, a hint of romance, and a promise of something exciting to come in the Mystic Stones series.  I'd say give it a try--who knows? You might fall in love with the series.
