Bounty hunter Matthew Blood is a Bloodhound shifter, so tracking things comes naturally to him. But when one of his skips gets blasted out of a fourth floor window, Matt goes after the only other person in the vicinity, and gets fairy-smacked himself.
Rum leaves the safety of the mound to bust a fairy dust ring and rescue some captured fairies. In the process, he quickly finds himself the target of the sexy bounty hunter tracking one of the dealers. Trapped and being pursued on multiple fronts, Rum asks Blood for help.
Blood is happy to lend a hand, but he soon discovers fairy dust isn't the only addictive thing about a fairy.
A bloodhound shifter as a bounty hunter? Freaking awesome concept! The fact that he's not from Earth is even better, he works for an alien, and there are a ton of non-earthlings living here from shifters to magical creatures to fairies. I love that! Makes it super interesting.
Matt Blood is chasing a skip when the guy falls from a window to his death. The fact a fairy is involved and Matt gets blasted by fairy fire is incentive enough for him to track the guy down to keep the humans from learning about them. Matt finds Rum in the nick of time to save him from a burning house and thus begins an unusual partnership to track down the drug dealers who have captured fairies, stolen their wings, and forced them to produce fairy dust to peddle. They find an accomplice in Littlejohn, a police detective who hails from the same planet as Matt, but his partner, Petra, is human and very inquisitive.
This was a very cute and interesting paranormal short story. I like the fact the author left it open-ended so there will be more about Matt and Rum in future stories. The bloodhound shifter and the fairy were super hot together and overall I liked the book very much.
