Oh how I love the Elder Races series by Thea Harrison.  The author got me with Dragon Bound, the first in the series, and has not let me go!  The novellas she writes are side stories to the full length ones (they may or may not refer to past characters) but I devour them like chocolate. This edition was no different.I loved Seremella because she was so different, well with being a Medusa and all.  I am surprised I liked her because I am not a snake person and don't particularly want them in my stories.  However, the author introduces us to Seremella in such a way that you see beyond the fact that she has a head of snakes.  Yeah, she's that good.  We see Seremella as being very smart, caring, and vulnerable.  When she needs to be courageous she is but you get the sense that she prefers to just be in the background.Duncan is the perfect match for Seremella. He is just as smart as she is but he is sexy because he sees Seremella from the inside out and not in the reverse.  He likes her snakes and they like him.  As a matter of fact, he is quite comfortable with them-they twine around his arms and he doesn't even flinch.This novella was packed with a lot of information that intricately weaves past, present, and future characters. True Colors still hold the title as my favorite novella of this series but Devil's Gate is definitely a close second.I can't wait to see what Thea Harrison has in store for us next.
