The walk to the inn took around ten minutes, but it would have been five if Neil\u2019s slower gait hadn\u2019t caused everyone else to match his pace. Part of the comparative slowness was that he was one of the few humans in the group, magic-slinging skills notwithstanding, but it was also due to the fact that studying tomes of ancient magic wasn\u2019t an activity that did much for cardio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A vampire clan has come to town, hoping to move into the area, which means Fred is probably in trouble, since he’ll be seen as either a nuisance or a threat, so his friends do what they can to keep him safe.<\/p>\n

Of course, they also get him into trouble, even if it’s not on purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cLawyer said you might feel that way, so she got the Clover children to authorize an extra fee on top of what you usually charge, for the short notice,\u201d Bubba said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine there\u2019s a number that would justify me tossing my entire schedule out the window for one unexpected client.\u201d <\/p>\n

That sentiment lasted exactly as long as it took for Bubba to tell me the number. <\/p>\n

\u201cThen again, I suppose it couldn\u2019t hurt to at least take a look at the books,\u201d I said, backpedaling quickly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I said, this is a fun series and I’m enjoying the heck out of it.<\/p>\n
