Rating: 5 out of 5

This was a really an exciting and suspenseful short story.  The hero is an Elven cop and the heroine is a half-werewolf, half-Elven exotic dancer.  Together, they fight high-level corruption in Las Vegas, deal with their own racial prejudice and hot attraction for each other, solve a series of gruesome murders, save Sin city from an evil takeover and find the heroine's kidnapped sister.The writing was excellent, the action was practically non-stop, the plot made sense, the hero and heroine were appealing, the romance was believeably balanced with the suspense and even the Bad Guys motivations were understandable.  The editing was very professional:  I found zero misspellings, grammatical errors, missing or incorrectly used words, incorrect tenses, bad formatting or any other such thing and, believe me, I look for those things.I feel the negative reviews for this work are completely unjustified!  Some people complained it was too short.  HELLO!!?? It is a short story, not a novel!  That is like buying a cupcake and complaining that it isn't a cake.Some reviewers said the characters, Calleigh and Saxon, were undeveloped. Not if you read and comprehend the story.  Apparently, some people want to have everything carefully spelled out for them in minute detail:  what to believe, how to feel, what to think. If you read and understood the story, the characters beliefs, moral codes, motivations and feelings were well described and logical.One reviewer thought the romance between the hero and heroine was not believeable or well described. Yeah, right! The sexual tension between the two was nonstop, from the first time they met.  Then, they are thrown together into extreme danger and wind up saving each others' lives, multiple times. It is a well-known psychological fact (in the real world, not just the world of fiction) that, when people are thrown together under extreme, life-threatening circumstances, a strong and lasting emotional bond is often formed (such as in battle, between comrades),  When those people happen to be of the opposite sex, a sexual bond also frequently results. I did not find Saxon and Calleigh's superfast romance all that surprising, considering the circumstances.This work is a great start to what promises to be a very interesting series.  I got this for free from Amazon and I consider it a screaming, hot deal.  I will definitely write the author a letter of encouragement and I will certainly spend money on the next books in the series.
