Review: Natural Evil is better
Rating: 2 out of 5

I didnt want to rate this a straight two. Maybe a 2.5. It takes novella to the max. I really enjoyed Natural Evil which was another novella in the Elder Race series and felt like there was enough story and character background to make the romance work. I was excited about a story with a Medusae as the heroine. Especially Serrie who readers following the story have gotten glimpses of here and there. Duncan the hero and resident vampire had immediate appeal to me and I love how the snakes on Serrie's head flirted and played with him as a separate entity.spoilers coming below:Now bad parts, too short. Way too short. Serrie needs to go to Devil's Gate, a bad part of town, to rescue her runaway niece because her sister (the nieces mother) doesnt want to be bothered or is too flighty to deal with it on her own. Duncan decided to tag along because its to risky for her to go by herself. There get there and get the niece after a minor scuffle. The niece is happy and Duncan and Serrie fall in love? I wanted to enjoy this story so much but from the very beginning it just moved to fast and didnt have enough of a story line to carry the plot or the belief that these two characters had time to fall in love
