This shorter novella featuring a character who grabbed my attention from the moment he appeared in the series was a real treat.  It's more of a teaser really introducing a later pair of main characters and setting things up for what is to come for them in the series.Kalen Black- sorcerer, necromancer and panther shifter- has a bad feeling about something coming his way, but the immediate threat seems to be centered around the woman, Dr. Mackenzie Grant, who he has an interest in.  Mac is way out of his league, but that doesn't stop him from wanting her and he will protector from the evil being he senses nearby.When Kalen arrives at the bar where she and her girlfriends are having drinks, Mac has a moment when she dreams that he is there to be with her.  She has been attracted to the enigmatic man since the moment she laid eyes on him.  After fighting off a bunch of bar rowdies, he does indeed join her, but only to warn her that he senses danger and they need to leave.After fighting off one of the creatures that attacked the Alpha Pack during the big betrayal, they go on the run and end up holed up together because another one or something equally bad is blocking them from the safety of the rest of the team.  In this relative safety, they come together and it is a wondrous thing, but then Kalen withdraws and Mac is left wanting.As short as this one was and as much as it is very much a table setter, it still had solid plotting, character development and pacing.  And it wasn't so quick that it didn't have time for one hot love scene.  It ended on an ominous note and did its job of leaving me eager for lots more Kalen and Mac which thankfully will come later in the series.This series is a combo of romance, strong paranormal worldbuilding and action.  Paranormal Romance lovers should definitely give it a try.
