The reviewer said: "I thoroughly enjoyed this short story! Melinda’s hopeful ideals were consistent, if a bit misguided, and Devon’s contrasting style added excitement. The characters were believable, and the settings were described clearly and were easy to visualize. I applauded Melinda’s defense of her student and was pleased that she was secure enough to listen to Devon’s very different ideas. This was a very nice story, easy to read, and enjoyable all the way through."

Bitten by Books is having another great contest - check it out here! Here's an excerpt from Crux: “Jackson Holt makes a decent living as a private investigator in New Orleans, home of one of the largest underground supernatural populations in the United States. He and his partners have never met a case they couldn’t crack…until a local bar owner asks him to do a little digging on her newest hire. New Orleans is the fourth destination in as many months for Mackenzie Brooks, a woman on the run from a deranged stalker. After all, any man who shows up on her doorstep claiming to be her destined lover has more than a few screws loose. But crazy doesn’t explain why he always finds her no matter how far she runs. When her well-meaning boss puts a PI on her case, Mackenzie comes face to face with the incredible truth: magic is real, and whatever spell has kept her hidden and separate from the paranormal world is rapidly deteriorating. With time running out, she has no choice but to trust Jackson as he struggles to uncover the truth of her past-and her destiny.”
