Review: A "between the books" novella you can skip.

Sometimes interstitial novellas work and sometimes they don't. Old Blood definitely falls into the latter section.Meant to explain the story of Pippa, the "Creepy Clown Lady" who keeps appearing to Perry and who left a message on the tapes meant for Dex and Perry at the end of book 4, this is a first-person, journal-esque infodump that would have been better off trimmed and written into the books in small doses. As a novella, even a non-standalone one, it's boring, too long, and totally indulgent.Definitely not worth the purchase price, even at 99 cents. Ask a friend to give you a tl;dr version.
