An enjoyable appetizer to whet your appetite for the Wyr world."True Colors" by Thea Harrison is a novella set in her Elder Races world and introduces two new Wyr, Gideon Reihl and Alice Clark. Unfortunately, a serial killer has targeted Alice's friends and colleagues and detective Reihl is investigating the crimes and is determined to ensure that Alice is not the next victim. Alice is one of the rare Chameleon Wyr and her initial distrust of Gideon when she fears that he is a murderer is complicated by her immediate acknowledgement that he is her soul-mate. The two must work through their instinctive attraction to one another while racing against time to capture the serial killer who is inexplicably targeting one of the rarest type of Wyr, preferably before he kills again.A thrilling but all too short look at the fascinating Wyr in a compact suspenseful read. A nice balance of danger and sensuality in both the story and its characters that gives a glimpse of the intricate and delicious world of the Elder races as it intersects with human society. There is a brief glimpse of the Lord of the Wyr, Dragos Cuelebre, who is featured in the first book in the series, "Dragon Bound" but this tale primarily functions to whet one's appetite for even more tales from the pen of this fantastic author.
