Review: Kai has always tried to stay out-of-the-way and not get close to others. He was what everyone called dangerous, but in truth it was the golden boy who was the dangerous one. Alec wanted Kai and was going to get him.

You can’t really get into a good detail about these stories because they are short without giving the story away. So far I have like most of the stories in this package, but this one was just way to creepy in my opinion. I started reading it and just put it down. I did go back since it was so dang short, but this is one story that was not for me.

It was way too dark to actually like for me.

Blurb: Alastar Connors’s studies of the changelings who live in the forest beyond the Great Iron Wall have been greatly aided by his friendship with the mischievous Gadhar. As a faerie creature, Gadhar’s soul takes a frightening shape, but he’s always behaved as an eager-to-please puppy around Alastar.

When an intimate moment leads to an unexpected revelation, Alastar fears he may have jumped to some ill-informed conclusions about his friend.

In his attempts to fix the misunderstanding, Alastar stumbles into the kind of trouble that even a quick-witted changeling might not be able to get him out of.

Review: Alastar has studied the lives of changelings for some time, but he was always told never to talk to certain ones. He had a strange friendship with Gadhar, but there was also the rule that a changeling could never go behind the gates. So in a time of need he breaks the rule, but finds out that Gadhar might be more than he had expected.

Now this one is a bit strange and not as appealing as it would seem. Also the ending was just down right wrong. It gives a hint of what could happen but that was it. I was quite displeased with this story and ended up giving up.

This was one story that was just not for me.
