A demon, an Unseelie faerie, and a vampire walk into a bar...

This Ivy Granger ebook special contains short stories set in Club Nexus, the hidden haunt of Harborsmouth's paranormal underworld.

ICED

A bargain gone wrong leads a highborn Unseelie faerie to life as an enslaved bartender with a taste for revenge.

DUSTED

Being a highly skilled predator doesn't necessarily put you at the top of the food chain at Club Nexus. A southern vampire with a hankering for blood and wanton violence may have bit off more than he can chew.

DEMONIZED

The demon attorney we love to hate has his eye on a certain rockabilly human. Too bad she's brought a crossbow loaded with holy water dipped bolts for this night on the town.

JINXED

Just when Jinx needs a carefree girl's night out with Ivy, a smoking hot demon tries to buy her a drink. She really is the unluckiest human on the planet.

At first, I thought I wasn’t going to be up for reading the same story just told from different viewpoints. I was wrong. The thing that I did enjoy was that with each person, you learned a little more of the story. I found I would skim the first bit, as it was so close to the previous section, but then I could dig in when it picked up in the meat of the story.

This is a short compilation of even shorter stories so you can fly through it in no time. My favorite part is that my fascination for a certain demon is stimulated even more in this installment. Horns and scary form too. I think Ivy’s plan in the end for him really sucks. I think she needs to butt out. Her protectiveness is great and all, but sometimes I think Ivy just goes a bit overboard.

The events in this book will be mentioned a few times in Burning Bright, so if you are obsessive like me about reading everything in order, you will probably want to read this first.
