Stumbling on to a murder scene, Alice is going to need more than her Wyr talent for hiding in plain sight to escape a serial killer who has targeted her clan in the past and is now picking off her friends. Arriving too late to save the killer's latest victim, Detective Gideon Riehl of the Wyr Division of Violent Crime is determined to end the killer's spree, and his reasons become even more personal when he tracks down the witness he scented at the scene, and finds himself drawn to the shy and gentle Alice. And though the huge and dangerous wolfshifter seems like the wrong man at the wrong time, Alice will quickly find that Riehl is definitely the right man for her and it looks like he's found her just in time.It's tough to set a short story romance against a series of serial killings and have the leads first awareness of each other be tainted by blood and tragedy but Harrison does a good job with her hero's careful handling of the heroine's trauma in the aftermath. I loved the heroine's species and the little glimpses of the Elder Race's holiday customs. And hero-centric-me fell for another of Harrison's terrific heroes. So for me True Colors ending up being a nice short little 'taste' of Harrison's world to hold me over until Oracle Moon.
