This story starts off with Anita getting a frantic early morning phone call from Larry. He is a fellow animator and newlywed, soon to be father. He was prepared to go out of state on an animating job and his wife suddenly goes into labor early. This hit home for me because as you know I had Adalyn 5 weeks early and if was a horrible time for all of us. Back to the review, Larry asks Anita to fill in for him, and she has to hurry and pack and get on a plane to Philadelphia.
The major flaw in not going by herself is the ardeur. She needs someone by her side in case the ardeur arises and she doesn't want to have sex with a complete stranger. Micah agrees to go with her to be her assistant. Micah is wanting to romanticize the trip because it is the first time that they are both truly alone together without the other men. He upgrades the hotel room and she freaks.
We finally get to learn more about Micah and how he became a wereleopard. The sheriff that meets them at the airport is the same one that was on Micah's case. I am not going to go into detail about his changing and what happened to him... that would be major spoilers.
At the end, Anita goes to do the job and has to deal with a shithead defense lawyer who keeps objecting and questioning her every move. I really enjoyed this part of the story because it brought back her roots into the story as a animator and necromancer.
She also learns life changing details which I will not spoil.
This was a welcomed short read after Incubus Dreams, and I loved learning Micah's backstory.
