Synopsis:

This is a Novella of 15K.

For Fans of CLOCKWISE.

Ever wonder how Nate got talked into asking Casey to dance on a dare? And what it felt like for him to experience 1860? How he really felt about Casey Donovan? Now you can know!!

My rating: ★★★☆☆
So this short story is a companion novella to Clockwise, and it’s told in Nate’s POV from when he first asks Casey for a dance to when they go back in time. And it was a lot of fun! It was cute and I absolutely loved Clockwise, so it was cool seeing things from his POV.

Synopsis:

Gin Blanco is hard-nosed, sexy, and lethal. Nicknamed “The Spider,” she’s a stone elemental assassin who brings her unique mix of magic and tact to every assignment, no matter the target.

There’s a new drug on the streets of Ashland, and its name “Burn” sums up the potent effect it has on its users. When one of her restaurant employees is threatened by dealers of the drug, Gin steps in to set things straight...

My rating: ★★★★★
We finally get to meet M.M. Monroe!! And we thought the Monroe/Snow family feud was over... well, it’s not! This Monroe person isn’t the main villain in this book, but the seed was planted, and I am glad we finally got to meet this person we’ve been hearing so much about lately. This person is definite trouble for Gin, and I can’t wait to find out what’s in store for her, because I’m pretty sure it’s gonna get bad!
