Small Kingdoms & Other Stories

By: Charlaine Harris

Narrated by: Morgan Hallett

Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

A new collection of short stories from Charlaine Harris, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Sookie Stackhouse books, the basis for HBO’s True Blood, and the Midnight Crossroad series, the inspiration for Midnight, Texas on NBC.

Principal Anne DeWitt knew her past could catch up with her, but she didn’t expect it would make her late for school. Killing a man does take time though; so does disposing the body…if you do it right.

After three relatively quiet years at Travis High School, it seems Anne is in danger of being exposed – even the baseball coach knows more about her former life than she ever imagined. Now, she must find out who else holds her secrets and who wants her to pay for them…without letting it make her tardy again. Anne still has a school to run, parents to manage, and a few students who might benefit from her unique - and deadly - experience.

Collected together for the first time in Small Kingdoms and Other Stories, “Small kingdoms,” “Sarah Smiles,” “Small Chances,” and “Small Signs” are sure to delight fans of Charlaine Harris.

I like this whole idea of a secret government agent. it's quite the turn from her normal Supernatural writings.

I like the stories but was very disappointed how the characters tie in but each story left you hanging without any real closure of what came to be. I think this would have been so much better with an ending for each of the stories but other than that I enjoyed it as it was a different twist than her Supernatural stuff.

Love! Thx Charlaine!

Need more of these! I love the short story concept. We need more of these included in our membership.

Missing text, but otherwise throughly enjoyable.

At the 51:17 point, an entire sentence is missing. It’s jarring, because the narrator’s tone sounds like she’s remarking on something just said and the rest of the paragraph seems to come out of left field. It’s not really a spoiler nor does it leave a plot hole, it’s just really annoying to know that something is missing, but have no idea what or how much was left out, so, I had to get the ebook to compare.

The missing sentence is “Melayna‘s volunteered to be on the staff counseling service,“ Ann said.

It makes me wonder if there were other missing parts that weren’t as obvious.

The individual stories flow together almost like they’re just chapters in the same book.

Excellent short stories

I thoroughly enjoyed these short stories and hope there are more with these characters in the future!

Great short stories!

These are 3 related short stories. I enjoyed all of them. I hope there will be more installments in the future!

Ms Harris Never Fails!

Again, Charlaine Harris has proven she has originality, and a sense of irony. And this narrator (new to me) has struck the correct tone and rhythm. Thanks! I can’t wait for more stories in this world.

Leaves me wanting more!

These superbly dark short stories are a joy to list an to. Thank you very much!

Just wish there was more!

Just wish there was more, gonna try to find the tv show and see if anymore books on these characters were made

really good

This was so good I wish it was longer. Story and audio was top notch.

Fun little listen

Weird plot, that I enjoyed. Something very unexpected, dark but it has a satisfying way about it.
