NOOOooooooooooooooooo No No No No No

Why are the cute ones always so damn short.

This was a delightful mixture of dark, sweet, and amusing.

Far too short but still fun.

Would LOVE this to be expanded or if not then a few more shorts just like it. I want more Rain.

Rating: 4 Stars - minor quibbles but I loved it to bits

Ah I forget how short some of these are. A quick adventure that has nothing to do with romance. I liked Rain.

This is a short story from one of my favourite authors. Megan always manages to combine all sorts of different elements into her books, and this was no different. Bored during a holiday with mates from college, Rain ends up stranded on a what appears to be a deserted island, until he is rescued by a fierce looking man. It turns out, not to have been a fortunate rescue, the men on the island like bait such as Rain to hunt and kill and he has to use all his skills and ingenuity go escape. I really hadn't expected the twist at the end though, which is always pleasing. I would have liked a bit more interchange between Rain and Whitney though, it just felt a little rushed, based on what other said, rather than on communication between the two men.

currently free on ARe, but not on Amazon

Rain only wanted to spend the holidays near his best friend and long-time crush Whitney, but a sailing accident and a local legend which probably has some truth in it, threaten his holidays and his time with Whitney. Fortunately, there is more to Rain than meets the eye, and every cloud has a silver lining…
This is a nice and short story with an unexpected twist. Enjoyable.

It was kind of creepy at times, but also quite funny ^^

A fun little story, Megan Derr style. You will know something were a bit off not long after you read. And then things turn into an unexpected spectacle.

Somewhat humorous play on the original short story by the same title, which was a favorite of mine in elementary school. A modern twist of fantasy spun through made it a fun ending.

An amusing story but I wish there had been a bit more about the two main characters and their history. Rain ends up on a dangerous island, but when there is...the least bit concerned. While the hunters there are 'the best ever' and now hunt men, Rain is unimpressed as he knows truly impressive hunters. We get a brief flash of him and Whitney, and a tantalizing glimpse of what must have been, hunters and dragons, but nothing else. Fun little tease of a story.

Good. Not my favorite but good.

I'm a firm believer that Megan Derr can do no wrong. That being said, this story is not my favorite of hers. This is the first of her stories where I felt there was more telling than showing in so far as what was going on and I had only enough time to adjust to that before this story was over.

It's still a good, sweet, and to the point story with just a little bit of action.

I read this book after its sequel, lol. But I still enjoyed it, I would actually rate it more 3.5.

I was just wondering who Ivan was...is it the Ivan from Ivan the Heartless? I have to reread that one!

(Still want more of this universe, lol!)

[Sarah Gardner · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't know where to begin. Humans hunting humans for sport has been done too many times, and several much better than this. The characters were not believable- gets tossed off a boat and swims, but is really a dragon? Would not have ended up in that situation to begin with.

Only read because I found the sequel free on Amazon. Sequel was marginally better, or at least had a story that has potential.

[Camilla Hjertø · Rating 3 out of 5]

Entertaining short story. And okay, now the other story in this series made a little more sense (didn’t know it was a sequel). I’d like to know the characters a bit better, though, and see more interaction. Rounding up to 3 stars.

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fun little story with a twist I didn't see coming. The execution of the twist left a little to be desired, however, and that, along with some lingering unanswered questions, was entirely the result of the story's brevity.

[Adrianamae · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very quick read--with a quick resolution and a short, quick ending.

[Sanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one was ... weird!

Um...What? XD

[Morgana · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars

[Fátima Perochena · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una historia corta pero entretenida. No me esperaba el giro que iba a dar, el cual me pareció muy original.

[Shelley · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars

[Terri Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

PERFECT. On to the (free!) sequel!

[Soraya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny little romp. You should read it with the sequel, The Ransom of a Night Hunter.

[Stas · Rating 2 out of 5]

meh

[Sharon · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 rating, a short story where the main character falls overboard and you hope he will be safe. Surprise ending lol!

[Antonis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very interesting mixture of genres (not saying which ones to avoid spoilers) in this short story.

[Claire · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is so cute. The twist at the end made me laugh out loud in public.

[Omega696 · Rating 3 out of 5]

It sounds a bit strange when I call a story with serial killer "cute" but that's what it was.

[Grace · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun very short read. Good when you need a quick break and don't want to think too hard.
