Following the Existence series, you get to look into the minds of Pagan and Dank, but what about the mysterious Leif? In this short novella, the first two books are combined and seen through the eyes of Leif, the Prince of Voodoo. The sweet boy of book one and the evil many of book two gives the reader a look into his own heart and mind as he struggles with loving Pagan and revealing his true self.This was a novella which meant that the read was fast. I struggled with not skipping sections because after all I had already read them but from Pagan's eyes. I had to force myself to read slower and pay attention as Leif's thoughts and feelings were revealed. The concept of looking through Leif's point of view was great. I feel in love with him in the first book and was torn between anger and even more love of him in book two. Though he is not the `good' guy, he was still a man in love and a hot one at that.By focusing on Leif, the author showed the characters' depths and the complex emotions they experienced. Leif is the bad guy, right? Or maybe he is just a guy caught between a rock and a hard place: his father and the love of a human. I think I enjoyed the book more after I read it and thought about it than I did actually reading it, if that makes sense.Don't read this until you read the first two books. You'll read some language and sexual undertones though there is nothing explicit. The author could have made many scenes explicit but chose to gloss over them letting the reader's imagination finish the work. There are a couple of F-bombs, but not many.I really did enjoy this book as it gave me more windows to look through in the Existence story.Note: I purchased this book with my own funds with no expectation of a positive review.
