Of course I had to do things backwards and read
Scarlet Night first. But it's all good. Seriously.
The Lover, as the title indicates is a prequel to
Scarlet Night. This is a very brief story introduces us to Serena and Devon and explains how he became a ghost. The story is sweet, intense, sad, and painful. A lot gets packed into ten pages. In spite of the low page count, I'm glad I bought the book. Having their history helps me to better understand Devon's part in
Scarlet Night.
You really can't do much in ten pages, but Parker was still able to infuse them with the intense feelings of a love cut short and remembered by the one left behind. A poignant story I wish I'd read first. 5 stars
This book is available from
Amazon, and
Barnes & Noble.
