I am not a fan of novellas.  I have passed many books because of this.  Thea Harrison is one author whose novellas I will read without hesitation. My favorite novella is Devil's Gate.  This one is right behind that book.  The world building is exceptional but at this point most people who have read her stories know that. Thea Harrison is a risk taker.  Initially, I was disappointed when I realized he was an owl shifter.  She made it work.  He is a great Hero. Not many authors could convince me that an owl shifter is a strong leading man. Thea Harrison did! They make a very sweet couple. There is enough of a showing the arc of their relationship where I did not feel cheated at the end.My favorite stories are Dragon Bound and The Oracle's Moon.  Olivia and Sebastian are not Dragos and Pia or Grace and Khalil. Those couples knocked my socks off. If you are looking for a repeat of some of her most fantastic couplings you may be disappointed.  A 4 star book for Thea Harrison is a 5 star book for other authors.  When I read one of her books she is only competing against her self.  Yes, she is that good!Her plots are unique.  This story is not the average solving a crime story or saving the girl from a nasty boyfriend.  I was interested in how dangerous transporting a library of books could be.  In comparison to her other novellas this is second only to Devil's Gate.  I was not disappointed and this is one I will reread!
