The first rule of a supernatural fight club? Don't kill your opponent.
When the fighters come with lethal spells, werewolf strength, and half-demon powers, that can be a lot tougher than it sounds. It's hard to attract talent if they know they might not leave the ring alive. So when fighters at a California club start dying, it's bad for business.
Witch detectives Paige Winterbourne and Savannah Levine take the case. Going undercover in the power-heavy arena of the fight club is a welcome change of pace for Paige, relegated to the role of The Wife as her husband struggles to find his place in his family's Cabal—the corporate Mafia of the supernatural world.
As Paige is drawn deeper into new and dangerous corners of her world, she quickly discovers the greatest threat isn't the killer in her sights. It's something much, much closer to home. And this is one fight she can't afford to lose.

"Nice novella, focuses mainly on Paige / Lucas / Savannah but enjoyable all the same. Shows us an investigation, more family stuff, more Adam. Bonus story, could maybe read it as a stand-alone but will probably seem a bit pointless if you dont know the back-story. "

— BooklistArmstrong weaves a fast-paced, action-heavy, and compelling tale in a short space.... [A] good place to start for readers new to Armstrong's urban-fantasy world.
— Booklist" Oh Paige & Lucas. You are my favorite Romeo & Juliet ever. "
— Bree, 4/22/2011" I love reading about Paige, Lucas and Savannah too. I fell for the same thing that Paige did. Darn it, we should have both known better. I can't believe how grown up Savannah is now. It seems like the other day when Paige and Lucas took her in. "
— Cindi, 3/20/2011" It's illustrated. Really. <br/> <br/>I've never liked books featuring Paige -- I think that Savannah is a very interesting character and I'd rather have her story told from the perspective of someone less... perky. For goodness sakes -- it's illustrated. "
— Dianna, 3/14/2011" These books are a light and silly as they come. Sometimes I just don't want to think and Armstrong's books are the perfect thing. "
— Leslie, 3/14/2011" Wow, that scared me for a little bit. But Paige & Lucas are still among my favorites. <3 "
— Bree, 2/27/2011" I was so excited when I saw that Kelley Armstrong had a new book out that I didn't read the fine print ... meaning I was a little disappointed when I saw that it was a novella instead of a full-length novel. Still a good story, short though it was. "
— Judy, 1/30/2011" This short story was good. It gives a little more background on Pagie and Lucus. I was glad I found this on the kindle. "
— Dominique, 1/30/2011" Good, fast-paced, with some of my favorite characters, but I'm still waiting for more Elena and Clayton! "
— Marisella, 1/16/2011" Short novel. Amazing story by one of my favorite female character in the "Women of the Otherwold" (Savanah!). You need to be somewhat knowledgeable in the main series to fully understand the characters and story. "
