"I think that this was originally meant to be a short story and ran too long for it so she turned it to a short book if you will. The book before this one was ridiculous with all the emergency sex. Don't get me wrong I enjoy a good sex scene a lot but in the previous book, Incubus Dreams, it was OUT OF CONTROL!! I think in ONE night, Anita had sex like FIVE TIMES!!!! All but one of those 5 scenes had another character either taking part in some way, or watching while laying in bed with Anita and "fill in blank" In this book there was only one sex scene and it was not a group activity so that was much better. I like Micah. I read a few reviews and a lot of the opinions lie with not liking him. While he isn't my type physically he has an awesome personality and I think is the perfect match to Anita. This book did not hold much action, or suspense, and I do agree with one persons description of it being more a fluff piece, but nevertheless, I enjoyed it and liked getting a little bit of insight into Micah. Very short read by the way. I am a slow reader and I read it in about 4 hours total."

" I feel like this book was a little ..rushed.. The Anita Blake novels are usually long with several different plots going on, while this one was way too simple and easily solved. Oh well, I'm hoping the next one will be better:) "
— Nina, 2/3/2014" This book was excellent! A little more simple and direct than the others in the series...I loved getting to know a little about Micah and what makes him tick. There are so many characters in the series that we really don't get to "know" them. I'd love it if Ms.Hamilton would grace the series with more books that concentrate on one character and let us get to know them. "
— Bonnie, 1/27/2014" Wish it could have been longer! "
— Jenniffer, 1/20/2014" a quick read. cute story. enjoyed learning about micahs past. but we must stop with the pornographic sex scenes. I get that Anita f#$%s every male in her life but seriously don't need to graphic details. I can read erotica novels for that. "
— Paula, 1/16/2014" A surprise book compared to the rest in the series. It was half the length of the rest of her books so far and focused on the animator job and Anita's relationship with Micah. We get a little more insight into Micah's past. I enjoyed it as I have the rest of the series but I really missed Jean Claude. "
— Poppy, 1/6/2014" This was the shortest Anita Blake book yet, really quick and lots of Micah! I loved the way it ended and can't wait to start the next one. "
— Alison, 1/3/2014" More like a novella than an actual book in the series, but it was a very quick, easy read. "
— Ali, 12/23/2013" I really enjoyed such a quick read - a single character story was nice "
— Sherri, 12/16/2013" Good like the others, but really short!! "
— Jessica, 11/7/2013" I can't believe I spend over $6 for this novella that only took me about an hour to read. Very disappointing with a thin plot and no substance. I agree with the reviewer on Amazon who said it's like a term paper that someone was rushing to get done in time and have enough pages. Disappointing. "
— Lianna, 10/28/2013" Way too short, and didn't seem to flow with the rest of the series very well. Definitely not my favorite of the series "
— Stacey, 10/19/2013" A lot of people don't like this one because it is more of a novella. I loved it! You really get to know the character Micah more. He is my favorite out of all Anita's men...besides Jean Claude of course. "
— Caroline, 9/29/2013" This is more a novelette in the series, but nonetheless a super read. It is a quick story that packs a lot into a small book. "
— Christi, 8/19/2013" This was a novella, not really a complete novel, but it was considerably better than the last 722 page book. Only two chapters are devoted to sex, the rest is actually about an FBI case she is called in on. "
— Patty, 4/16/2013" I do like the character Micah but not impressed with this book. Filled in a few spare hours. "
— Janette, 3/17/2013" loved it but it was a very short book...would have liked to read more about there time in the 4 seasons...hee hee! "
— Heather, 12/7/2012" This one was bizzare. It's a lot shorter than most of her books. It's almost like she was coming up on a deadline for the publisher but all she had was some part of a story. It seems incomplete. A lot of missing characters. "
— Alicia, 10/15/2012" Finally good old Anita Blake with some action and not just sex. "
— Nikola, 8/27/2012" Easy to read, quick to read and cute. "
— Sarah, 6/10/2012" short read for an Anita Blake book but enjoyed it. "
— Bridget, 4/2/2012" Lovely... I love this series... would have loved it to have been longer. "
— Kelly, 12/15/2011" Liked it. Just wish there had been more. I love micah and would have loved a longer book about him "
— Misty, 7/21/2011" It was too much sex and not enough story. I was totally disappointed. "
— Delaine, 7/18/2011" Laurell succeeds to describe a more sympathetic Micah. "
— Francesca, 5/1/2011" I've read most of the Anita Blake books but this was a very short novel.I usually find the books either terrible or okay.This book was okay.The main story "Micah" was not very good at all but I did like some of the short stories. "
— Jodi, 3/20/2011" Liked Micah - developing that relationship... <br/>Strange Candy - an odd mix of short stories. "
— Becci, 11/21/2010" Micah was good but disappointingly short. I enjoyed the short candy at the back "
— Michellestevens234, 10/5/2010" I enjoyed the story where the counselor woman got into peoples' dreams... it was strange, but somehow good too! "
— Nimave, 6/26/2009" Love everything she writes...it's great fun "
