Review: 4.5 stars -  The first of two peeks into Drake's new series - so far it looks like fun
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is the first of two prequel shorts to Drake's upcoming Asylum tales series ( there's another short in September and the first bookAngel's Ink: The Asylum Talesis out in October.)The Asylum Interviews: Bronx introduces several of the series characters in addition to Gage, a tattoo artist/mage who is not supposed to be doing magic, there's his friend incubus Parker who is suffering for trying to maintain a monogamous relationship with a human who just can't keep up enough to keep him fed, as well as Bronx, a fellow tattoo artist who ends up with a very unusual job interview as a result of the events of the story.I don't read too many UF series with male protagonists, but Gage has a good 'voice' which is generally the key as to whether or not I like a UF series - an unlikable leading lady/man is the kiss of death for me. This is very different from Drake's previous vampire series which I dropped midway, but I have high hopes for the new series if the other books have the same sense of fun as this short.
