Review: A Decent Prologue, As Stand Alone Romance Missing
Rating: 3 out of 5

Even knowing this is a prequel of an established series, it still felt like it was missing something.  I have not read any of the books in the series, but was hoping to get a taste of the style of writing to see if I liked it or not.A lot of information regarding this universe is given, I found it interesting and will probably look to read the first book of the series.  However, the "romance" portion of this story was missing.  As a prequel short the intimate scene wasn't necessary and actually was a bit depressing. I am hoping that the author felt obliged to give a sex scene and that is why it was so lacking in romance.The concept of fae vs shifter and magic I found intriguing. I also enjoyed the fact that there didn't seem to be a predestined mating.  I prefer my romance to be a choice and not kismet.I did read the preview for "Pride Mates (Shifters Unbound)", the first book in the "Shifter Unbound" series, that was included at the end.  I am not sure how the universe described in this short matches up to the universe I read in the preview.  The novel seems to be a bit grittier, but is definitely worth the look.If you have read the series "Shifters Unbound", you will probably like this.If you haven't you will probably find it just O.K., but it will give a taste of the author's style.
