Guilt-ridden after the massacre of his family, Isaac Salvatore turned to binge drinking to escape the pain. Now 24 years old, Isaac is a recovering alcoholic woefully out of practice in the magical arts, leaving his fire affinity hanging on the edge of disaster. After a month of rehab, he returns to Beacon Hill and his family, determined to remain sober, learn to control his magic, and figure out a plan for his life that doesn't involve drinking.

Story
Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Story
When the vampire stalking me sent me a letter, I was prepared for my new life with the man I love to get thrown into chaos. But as the days stretch on and nothing happens, I become determined not to allow that monster to rule my life and decide that Marcus and I will move on. We can’t always allow the past to haunt us. If that includes pestering Marcus and harassing my fellow detectives, they’d better learn to love it because I’m not going anywhere, even if they like to remind me I’m the only human working in a department filled with vampires.

The devil you know is never the one you should trust. Special Agent Patrick Collins is dispatched to Chicago, chasing a lead on the Morrigan’s staff for the joint task force. Needing a cover for his presence in the Windy City, Patrick is ordered to investigate a politician running for mayor. In the lead up to Election Day, not everything is what it seems in a city where playing to win means appeasing the gods first and the electorate second. But Chicago brings its own set of problems outside the case: a standoffish local god pack, a missing immortal, and Patrick’s twin sister.

Story
I’m rather used to the crazy cases, because let’s face it, most cops can handle the run-of-the-mill with their eyes closed. I’m only called in when the situation is weird or they need to solve the case fast. This case is a little of both. Someone’s attacking women as they get off of work, hitting them in the back of the head. What started as a case of battery has steadily built up to homicide. With three murders, six victims, and no leads, the Clarksville PD is desperate to catch the assailant. But there’s no real leads for us to follow, either....

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these vignettes...specifically A Dragon in the City and hearing how Eroch see's the world. Also enjoyed watching the development of the relationship between Daniel and Ruairi...(spoiler) the bank scene was so tense. A great listen!

I would end the world for Rory and Daniel
The first story is fab and I want to know way more about the first(?) Salvatore/vampire bond, especially since it's mentioned it'll take about thirty years total for the bond to settle fully in place rather than the weeks/months it took his descendents. Mammoth story was delightful because... Angel. People being dumb, Angel being exasperated, magic going wonky. Mammoths. A day in Erochs life was interesting and one Id listen to again! Not my fave of the four but definitely fun. The majority of the book is the last Fae's Gold and it is everything I need in my life. This story brings me utter joy, though one of the main cast being "he's a pasychopath!" When Cian comes up makes me sigh. Being a psychopath doesn't mean cold blooded murderer - it doesn't make a person BAD. Cian did bad things and felt no remorse about it, but I dare any of the main cast to say they'd not do the same if the literal half of their soul was going to die after years beyond counting, from birth, and they thought they could save them at the cost of some lives of people they didn't know. That aside, this story is everything glorious in the world. I need the story of Daniel and Rory like air and I'm so excited for it. Daniel is blatant but hesitant, Rory respectful but also makes his affection known. The casual physical care between the two is sweet and slow. Rory will protect Daniel at all costs but Daniel also doesn't hesitate to step in to do damage control insofar as he can. I just. I love them. As much as I enjoyed the other stories, I'd have bought this audiobook (and book) just for Fae's Gold. ... Which I did. I bought them both for Fae's Gold. Enjoying the others was just bonus.

Great collection of short stories and glimpses into the Beacon Hill world. I loved Eroch's story ... I really enjoy it when an author gives us a story from an animal's POV - I think we need one of these glimpses into the wee beastie at the end of each book! This series has been a plethora of character and accents for Joel Leslie and his skill as a narrator never disappoint's.
