This is the story where Lex goes to LA to talk to Jesse Cruz about her sister's murder. (No spoilers here, her sister was murdered before the series began.) She gets some answers that maybe she didn't need, and she and Scarlett Bernard (from Olson's other Old World series) meet.

I read this after I finished Lex's series but before I read books 2 and 3 of Scarlett's. I am spoiled for so much. I don't really care, I'll still enjoy reading the books, but consider this a warning for those of you who don't like to be spoiled. ( )

This novella crosses both the Scarlett Bernard and the Old World Series as Sam, Lex’s twin sister, had been one of the victims in Hunter’s Trail. At Sam’s urging during a dream, Lex heads to LA to learn what happened to her sister.

The tale is told from three points of view: Lex’s, Jesse’s and Scarletts. Other than Lex learning the truth and getting a better understanding of how another area of the Old World is run, it’s difficult to see what Lex gets out of this trip other than some ugly truths and learning that Scarlett is a null; the same thing her niece Charlotte is which makes her popular with the local vampires.

Available via KindleUnlimited, it’s a nice way to get your fix while waiting for the next release. ( )
