Review: Wickedly good Elder Races short

The Wicked (A Novella of the Elder Races) was one of my favorites of the Elder Races novellas so far. There was a nice touch up with Grace, Khalil and the kids (from Oracle's Moon) and a really good steamy intense mate connection between the leads cursed Wyr security expert Sebastian and human witch magical books specialist Olivia - plus a tantalizing touch of two characters: the former insane pariah Djinn Phaedra and Vampire King Julian (They both need books of their own... or hmmm, a book together? That might be interesting.)I really like Olivia and Sebastian together the 'click' between them was such an earth moving shift but some how it just worked. And I liked that Harrison finally listened to her readers' concerns about a mating between a Wyr and a human with a shorter life span - he's from a long lived race but not immortal and he's old enough that he has just about the right number of years left to match up with her life span.So, I really liked what was here, Harrison probably could have milked this story for a bit more length - since the personal conflict for the hero resolved quickly -  and I am always greedy for more and I will take whatever I can get but I was still happy with the story.So this was a nice little taste of the Elder Races world that left me hungry for more - of the series. I am really looking forward to the next book, Kinked, but I also got a kick out of the announcement for the next Elder Races short which will be out in the fall (no link yet) Dragos Takes a Holiday - "The Bermuda Triangle. Pirates. The Peanut. What could possibly go wrong?"
