If you have never read Kayden McLeod, you will be upset that you've been missing out. She has two stories in this anthology and both of them are very good. Serpentine Tongue, is the story of Fallon and Dearg Sidhe warriors who have been cursed as dragon shifters. Siobhan has been hiding out in her forest to escape the Sidhe court and its intrigues, oh and an arranged marriage to abusive man. Fallon has vowed to destroy the Queen and is forced to run from the soldiers who are looking for him and Dearg. After being wounded and landing in Siobhan's yard, he must trust her to keep him safe as he heals. Blessed with powers that the Sidhe no longer use, Siobhan heals Fallon and starts to develop feelings for him. Dearg is Fallon's best friend and was cursed along with Fallon, after losing the soldiers in the forest he is able to track down his friend and Siobhan. The three of them form a solid relationship and vow to keep each other safe, even if they have to remain hidden from the Sidhe.Although this was a novella, it read like a full-length novel. I was very pleased with the story and the characters. I was engaged throughout the entire story and hated that it ended. I hope that Ms. McLeod has a full-length version or will at least write a sequel, so we can see what adventures these three find enroute to a new home.
