I think the blurb says it all very well, and I don't want to spoil anything for you. I really liked this short story, and will certainly buy the others when they are available.When Secret was promoted, someone else needed to do her job of tracking and killing rogue vampires, and Shane Hewitt is it. I did not really learn much about him in the Secret series, so this novella was a nice addition. Secret is only mentioned once or twice and not part of this story, but it is still her world. Nolan appears a few times as secondary character and friend to Shane.When Siobhan O'Malley knocks into him, she rocks his socks off, revealing things he still did not know about the supernatural world. Sure, there are vampires and werewolves, but Druids, Fae and Trolls? He is perhaps in over his head, but no way is he walking away from Siobhan and the help she needs from him. Of course, getting rid of her virginity is his pleasure, but he won't stop at that, he will help her when necessary. And together, they sure are a great duo of fighters.I also liked Siobhan a lot. She is tiny, but strong and resilient, and sassy. She won't take crap from Shane, or from her father who never appreciated her. He just wants to sacrifice her. So, she put a stop to that particular plan. Having to stay a virgin, made Siobhan always stay on the sidelines, never having a boyfriend or a date. And Shane is really growing on her. Sure he says the wrong things, but he is not squeamish, or afraid of her and what she is fighting. He has her back (and front).There are no real secondary characters in this short story, just the bad guys and Nolan. But I did not miss them. There is lots of action, a nice sexscene, and a great story. Of course the usual Sierra Dean humor is in there, and that is just how I like my books. Original and easy to read.If you like the Secret series, you can't miss this one.8 stars. 2013 Reviews by AurianFull review on my blog, [...]
