It’s not at all needless to say that Harper Fox’s way with language, how she has her way with it, slices right through me. Yes, ladies and gents, Ms Fox can cut me like a b****tch any time she damn well pleases. It sends me sighing into the spiral of written happiness.Gideon is a copper in a very small village and Lee is a psychic of sorts, who works with a law enforcement department in a different town, and was sent to help Gideon with the disappearance of a little girl. From word one, it’s easy to see that these are two evenly matched men. That doesn’t only mean that they share the same levels of strength or humor or intelligence, but that they possess the little oddly shaped keys to fill the other’s holes in their puzzle pieces. It hits them with as much surprise as it did for me as the reader.This is something Fox does so well: she makes it very difficult to see where things are going, what will happen next, what the endgame is. This goes for both action and emotion. You know when someone affects you in that way that causes you to do things that surprise even yourself? Yeah, that, with these two men. And in such a short story! I was already stuffed to the gills with turkey and side dishes and dessert, having finished this late Thanksgiving night, but I will always have room for the words of Harper Fox.Let me just tell you, this applies to the heat level in this short gem, as well. Yeah, hot. And real. And I want more. Talk about two men who deserve a series of their own. That’s right, a series. The possibilities are endless for stories involving Gideon and Lee. Bring it!! Pretty please? With sugar on top? Topped with a cherry, or anything else that would work? ;)Yeah, go read this and enjoy losing yourself in the misty mystery with Gideon and Lee… they certainly did. ;)
