Story4 out of 5 stars 1,817
When LA’s vampires, witches, and werewolves make a mess, they call Scarlett Bernard to clean it up. Her ability as a null erases all magical traces from anything — or anyone — that comes within ten feet of her, and keeps humans in the dark about the city’s paranormal activity. One night when she’s called to a grisly crime scene, Scarlett is spied by the all-too-human LAPD cop Jesse Cruz, who strikes up a deal with her: he’ll keep quiet about the supernatural underworld if she helps him crack the case. She agrees, but the city’s chief vampire, Dash, starts to suspect Scarlett is behind the murders and will reveal all she knows of his shadowy empire. Now it’ll take more than Scarlett’s unique abilities to clear her name, keep the underworld underground, and track down the real killer.

My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a “night out” includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local “coven” of small business owners who repeatedly invite me to their meetings - clothing optional. My life is weird. But it’s not magic. Magic isn’t real. At least, that’s what I believed - right up until the moment he walks into my store.

Publisher's Summary
"You can read this story without having read anything else by Olson, and I highly recommend it." (Charles de Lint, author of The Newford series and Moonheart, in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction)
All her life, Sashi’s mother warned her not to get involved with werewolf problems. But Sashi, a witch who uses magic to heal sick and injured bodies, has never made a habit of ignoring trauma. When she meets an abused shapeshifter that no one else seems willing to help, Sashi will risk everything - including a budding romance with a human, Will - to save a woman who can’t save herself.

Five Stars for Narrator Amy McFadden!
I enjoy Melissa Olson’s Scarlett Bernard series, so I read this novella to learn more about Sashi and Will. This short, quick-read novella is a romance-type prequel to the Scarlett Bernard UF world. The main storyline focuses on Sashi Durga Noring, a 21-yr old witch whose magical speciality is healing or Thaumaturgy. Sachi’s controlling mother is a world-renowned oncologist, who is treating a handsome man named Will, who is now in remission. Surprised? There are other boilerplate setups.
I didn’t love the second storyline about Astrid the werewolf, who is abused, beaten, and raped by her Alpha Wolf partner. I carried on reading, because Melissa Olson always interweaves plots toward the end, so it was crucial to know Astrid’s story. Will Sachi fall for Will? Will Oncologist Mom tolerate Will? How much abuse will Astrid suffer? Will romance-fans find even a smidge of HEA at the denouement?
Warning: There are bloody and wincingly crunchy, domestic-violence scenarios.

Good story, but it's written in first person present tense which is hard to follow as a reader. The narrator helps a lot in that regard, though

Good Prequel
Can be read stand alone but if you have read the Scarlett Barnard novels it gives some background to the Werewolf pack especially the history behind Will Carling and Caroline Also Sashi and her Mum appear as minor characters again in the main series
Its 2 linked stories a very abusive one between Astrid and the alpha Wolf and a much more caring one between Sashi and Will.
It holds the attention and although its fairly predictable its an enjoyable novella
Its a bit more YA than the main books but its an entertaining listen - mostly narrated well by Amy McFadden though the English Accents are not the best. If you like the Scarlett Barnard and Lex Luther books you will almost certainly enjoy this - especially if you like getting background detail on some of the characters
I probably would recommend if you are new to Melissa F Olson starting with the Scarlett Bernard books first and coming back to this but there is no reason why you couldn't start here.
