I absolutely hate when I believe I am downloading a short story and it is an inconclusive teaser!  The FULL story is not even available until the Fall.I hate being totally ensnared in a riveting story and then left hanging.  The plot is captivating.  The characters are fascinating -  the dragon, the fae, the human with witch's blood - you want to know more about all of them.  The author drops you into a world changing battle and once you find a place to catch your breath and find the wounded hunter who rescues Isla - the author says "oh - never mind - come back in 6 months".  THAT is EXACTLY why I HATE IT!!***PLEASE NOTE*** I HAVE CHANGED MY RATING *** The original review above is based on a different version that was worthy of only 1 star.  Kait Nolan, commented here that she added a couple of extra pages which I was able to read on [...].  The additional scene made a huge difference in my opinion of this short story.  The extra ending actually provides satisfying closure to the immediate story while still enticing you to read the actual book when it is published this fall.  Had this been the original ending I would not have felt so vehemently aggravated by being left hanging.  That being said, I wanted to re-evaluate the story as honestly and as objectively as possible as if I had not read the ending 2 weeks later but had read the entire 35 pages at one sitting.  This is a short story where I was completely engrossed in the plot and enchanted by the characters.  OBVIOUSLY this short story DOES evoke some pretty strong emotional responses!!Amazon did not publish my revised rating.  By deleting my original review all attached comments including the one from the author will also be deleted.  The amended version of this story earned 5 stars.
