The author packs this short story with plenty of action and suspense. Do yourself a big favor and be sure to read the entire series. The only drawback - I want to read more of this fantastical world-building, and I want to read it now. Okay, the author really got me on this one. this one surprised the heck out of methis world and the characters in it are fascinating and I want more, more, more. I love all the surprises Falconer and it's residents give us, good or badthis one was much longer, allowing me to sink deeper into the story and dream longerI will eagerly buy anything that this author produces as I like his writing styleI absolutely love the world Taylen Carver created- so unique!___Best-selling Canadian author Taylen Carver writes edgy contemporary fantasy, doesn't pull punches, and would rather be writing unless otherwise notified.  When not writing, Taylen can usually be found inside speculative fiction of other authors.  Favorites include Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, J.
