A very short anthology/chapter teaser containing 3 sections. Not listed as an anthology or teaser on Goodreads or Amazon and is currently $6.99. Very disappointed in the book or lack of, but Fire & Ice is still a beautiful and great story that is a must read.
Born Of Rage: 3.5 stars - Great to see a couple of characters, but at about 18 pages it is a short story or cut scene.
The Neighbors: 3 stars - 8 pages approximately, written 1978
Fire & Ice: 5/5 stars reread (previously read another anthology, In Other Worlds, original read 2016) - I love this look into Adron and Livia's story.

Interesting short story. Hopefully her troubles will be over soon so we get full length stories again soon!

This is not a full novel, but an anthology that takes it's name from the first story which is also synopsis blurb for the book (makes absolutely no sense, false advertisement). The middle story is something random from McQueen's early days and the last story was part of another anthology that I already read last week, so I didn't bother reading it again. I feel stiffed since I was expecting a full League novel and instead got what amounts to a cut scene. >.<

Just enough of a story to get you wanting more, but extremely unfinished.

Born Of Rage was so short. I wanted more because it was an addicting read. The Neighbors was good although super short. I see many possibilities for it to built on. Fire & Ice of course is good, but I have read it before so was nothing new for me.

Born of Rage is the third book in The League: Eve of Destruction series. I went into this book expecting a single story, but I got three stories. The stories are Born of Rage, The Neighbors and Fire and Ice.
Born of Rage features Jinx and Eve. The story focused on Jinx’s reunion with his younger sister, Dakari. A kill on sight order initiated by the League had Dakari running for her life. Jinx sets out to find her before the hit could be executed. A very short read, which left me wanting more.
The Neighbors tell the story of fourteen-year-old Jaime, who is certain his neighbors are up to no good and sets out to prove his theory. An oddball in this collection of stories as it has nothing to do with the League world. However, the premise intrigued me but it left me wanting more. It would be nice if Kenyon would rewriting this story with a lot more substance.
Of the three stories, Fire and Ice was my ‘favorite. In this story, we meet Adron Quiakides, a former League assassin and Livia typpa Vista. Adron suffers PTSD because of several weeks of torture he endured at the hands of a deranged man. Livia seeks a stranger to give her virginity to escape a forced to marriage to a man twice her father’s age. When Adron and Livia’s paths crossed, sparks flew.
The story, which featured a great cast of characters, was one of hope, love and healing. Not only did it give us some teary-eyed moment, but it also delivered a few laugh out loud scenes. I thought it was well fleshed out despite being a short read.

I'm a little confused as to what I read, it was a little disjointed, and I'm not quite sure how it fits with the rest of the series. But I'm glad that I read it because Sherrilyn McQueen wrote it, and it's in The League series!

I loved this little short story’s that she put out. I know a lot of people were upset that it wasn’t long enough or she should have added more to it but I know what I was getting when I bought the book and it didn’t let me down. I love how she can write in all different genres and still makes it fun.
