Very short. An introduction to Ian Dex but I’m glad I read the main series, The Las Vegas Paranormal Police Department, first. This short story only shows Ian’s irritating qualities, of which he has many. His loyalty to his team and the constant banter among the team members is missing. This story works as a prequel after reading at least a few books in the 7 book series. If I had read this first I don’t know if I would have gone on to read the series and I really enjoyed the series. The series has many new twists to paranormal abilities. It’s all action and quite humorous. ( )
