\"\"<\/a>This is a novella set in the same world as her Jane True series, but with a different group of characters, and set in Illinois.<\/p>\n

Capitola, Moo, and Shar are the halfling detectives. Normally, they only take supernatural cases, but when Capitola’s father shows up at their office with a priest and missing Catholic school girls, they can’t say no, so in shorter order they’re embedded undercover at the school.<\/p>\n

One of the things I really really liked was that Cappie and Moo did not go undercover as high school girls. Only Shar, the halfling succubus was pretending to be a teenager, and that’s not an unreasonable stretch (Must be young and desirable to survive. I’d say pretending to be a teenager was par for the course, there.) And the positions that Moo and Cappie took were logical and reasonable and pretty good ideas, actually.<\/p>\n

Like the Jane True series, there is boinking and nudity and stuff like that. Which is not my thing, but I do like her world building, and I very much liked the three characters in this story. <\/p>\n

The only negatives were that I found some of the parts of the story towards the end a little confusing, specifically the parts relating to world\/character building\/traits and why certain details were missed earlier. <\/p>\n

Not bad for three bucks, and I wouldn’t mind other stories with these characters.
