This book did what it needed to do, I can't complain. I was actually really questioning whether I wanted to read this.. it's not necessary for the series and it's just a novella but I thought I would be missing out on the **experience.** And I certainly don't regret it. This is a short and sweet romance set in the "The Serpent and the Wings of Night" universe that's a spoof off of "The Beauty and the Beast" except with vampires, wow! The characters unravel quickly in the ~100 pages but I didn't mind the quick character development for the sake of a fast paced story. It's got some good themes that rang true (honestly much stronger than the first book) and I'm really glad the characters were 30+ years old, it's not often that we get that mature POV in the NA fantasy romance genre.
