The day after the mess in the end of The Mage in Black, Sabina travels back to L.A. with Adam, Giguhl, and Valva to look for her kidnapped sister. Sabina goes to an old friend she feels she can trust, an owner of a local vampire strip bar ~ Fang, looking for a place to crash undetected. Trying to stay under the Dominae radar while the Dominae are circulating flyers with a bounty on her head for the "safe" return home to her Grandmother. Valva, the vanity demon, spices things up some...Even in this short story that was a quick read for me, Jaye had my attention the whole time and now has me pumped and ready to dive into Green-Eyed Demon. There is the sarcastic humor of the characters mixed with action. I have to say I did learn a few things in this read as well; as there are two different types of demons and more on Valva the Vanity demon. I really do enjoy reading about Sabina more too. She seems to be softening up to her friends now that she has accepted them as such.
This short story is a great lead into Green-Eyed Demon. It can be read after Green-Eyed Demon, but is the lead into the story from The Mage in Black.
