Yay! Look at the cover! Who doesn't love that guy? Despite his snack choices, of course.Boomer and Nyalla make quite a good team :). This spinoff tale takes place while Sam is stuck in Hel, and Wyatt is out of town in San Diego. Nyalla is dog/housesitting for Sam, and the poor girl is all alone. Luckily, she has Michelle and Candy to check up on her.Boomer, being the midnight adventurer he is, happens upon a grave that has been desecrated. The police think it's just simple vandalism, but Boomer knows better. He drags Nyalla off to the gravesite and what they uncover is pretty creepy. Pretty soon, things get out of control quickly and lives are at stake. It's up to a former slave to the elves and a hellhound to stop the madness. Good thing Nyalla makes some new friends who can lend her and Boomer a hand :)I liked this spinoff story, but I missed Sam. She is truly the highlight of this series, along with Gregory. Oh fine, Gabriel too. I guess I missed him a little. Having said that, I liked that Nyalla was the star. The reader gets to know her a little bit more and we get to see her grow. She's no longer the scared girl in Hel, she's a less-scared girl on Earth. Although I do have to say, her character is kind of inconsistent. It seemed like the author tried too hard to make her seem even more innocent and uneducated about living with humans, but then she would say and do things that didn't mesh with how she is portrayed to be. Either way, I still like Nyalla, I just hope she is a more consistent character in any future books she appears in.Oh - and hopefully Sam doesn't find out Nyalla took the 'Vette.  Boomer tried to warn her against that... :)
