Shadowland is a free short story mostly from Pritkin’s POV that follows right after A Family Affair. The demons want Cassie dead but Pritkin has made a deal with the devil. Well, the Lord of the Incubi Rosier. Pritkin lets his guard down for one minute and Cassie is attacked again.

We get to visit Hell once again and meet more interesting creatures. We also get to spend more time with Casanova and Rian.

This is a fun short that is not at all necessary to read for the overarching series plot. But it really shows Cassie’s resourcefulness and just how much Pritkin loves her. ( )

Again Karen Chance generously penned a long, free short stories for fans of her writing and series. Told through the POV of Joh Pritkin (many people's favorites, mine included), it shows him trying to protect Cassie and have that go all wrong. The woman is ridicuously unlucky - but lucky - at the same time. A little confusing but overall enjoyable, especially with the impatient and self-centered Cassanova's play in the part. ( )
