I am not usually a sci-fi reader but after reading the snippets of this novella on the Ilona Andrews website I couldn't wait to read it. The back story is succintly mapped out, the groundwork is laid for the relationship, the conflict appears and then bang it's over.I know that this was to be just a novella but the climax is totally glossed over and a supposed great fight scene is barely mentioned. You get the appetizer but not the meal. And even though the epilogue kind of gives you closure, it was still like kissing your sister.Too short and under-developed to be great but still interesting enough to capture your attention for a short period of time.(I didnt think I'd like sci-fi but now I gotta backtrack and go download Silent Blade)
