I am a HUGE fan of Anita Blake and all things LK Hamilton (if I could use a larger font for the word "huge" I would). I borrowed this short story from a friend of mine, so I guess I didn't feel the $3 hit that most people are complaining about.  Still, I have to say that I really enjoyed the story.  Did I LOVE it as much as I do her full length novels? Of course not! It's a snippet of a part of a chapter of what could have been part of a novel.  And being a series reader, I love the lengthy stuff. ;-)  But still, I enjoyed this short story.I've never really connected with Micah and Nathaniel in all of her novels.  They've always been there (well, not always...), but I just didn't "feel" their importance.  This story helps me see Nathaniel in a better light.  Micah is still just "kinda there" for me, strong, secure, aloof.  Nathaniel's fun side comes out, and I enjoy seeing that.  Usually, Anita is dealing with some crime scene or someone trying to kill people that she knows and loves, so there isn't a lot of time for fun.  This scene provided that along with her normal social-awkwardness.We also get to see a little more of the growing need from Nathaniel to have a child of his own. It's going to be interesting to see how Anita deals with that one in future books. lol! All in all, I enjoyed this short story. I'll definitely read future ones. :-)
