Just a quick note-my website is being moved/was moved. You might notice a few blips and things may be slow to load for a short period of time. Thanks for understanding!
I’ve only read the first story so far, but it rocked.
Ilona Andrews‘ Magic Dreams from the Hexed anthology.
My 5th line/56th page…
Hiromi came in to buy groceries.
And hey-lookie what Ilona says on her site…
The events of Magic Dreams take place between Magic Bleeds (Book 4) and Magic Slays (Book 5) This novella is completely separate from the main storyline. You can read MAGIC SLAYS before Hexed or Hexed before MAGIC SLAYS without any fear of spoilers.
So if you haven’t read her stuff, this is a perfectly awesome place to start!
