This was a wonderful set of 4 short stories, although I had already read "The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't" but it was nice to hear the full cast version.

Marine Biology- 4 Star
Though I absoloutly adored this book I do suspect that this is mainly because I have read the San Andreas shifter series and therefore loved having it as a backstory. I think I would have enjoyed this as a full book. ||Bit more time spent with Marvin as a moody emo boy facinated with our geeky teen alpha, perhaps a little more time loofacinateAlec's old pack||? That being said though I do think readers of the main series will all enjoy this short story.

Fairy Debt- 5 Star
I thought this short story was so sweet. I really liked the characters. I found it funny the king had spent years trying to rescue a fairy so he could get a fairy godmother for his daughter yet he hadn’t realised he had been successful.

My Sisters Song - 3 Stars
I liked the idea of this more than I liked the story itself. The fairies ||defeating the Roman army with their cunning|| was brilliant. Also the fact I was able to google it and find out that "Mad Honey" did cause the death of 1000 Romans was pretty cool, the issue is I enjoyed reading the information about the real event more than this story||. I do praise Gail for making me learn these bizarre history facts though.

The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't, the Mummy That Was, and the Cat in the Jar- 3 Star
This is my least favourite book in the parasolverse, though it is a nice bit of background the charachters just didnt grab my attention as much as the ones in other books. Did make me want to reread the paraolverse again though.

Four short stories. Good, but I would have liked if two of them had been a bit longer!
