As an introduction to the Scorpius Syndrome series, I believe this story did its job. I’m very curious about the world I’ll be entering when getting into the first book of this series. Because the series deals with a virus of a sort, it did sometimes feel as if it was hitting a bit close to home while reading it in 2021. But not close enough that I didn’t still feel it was an escape from day-to-day life in the real world.

I’m a huge Rebecca Zanetti fan, mostly because her books are full of humor. Don’t get me wrong, I am also drawn to the amazing chemistry her characters always have and the fantastical adventures they experience. But the humor keeps me coming back for me. I found that lacking in this story. In general, I feel this author does a phenomenal job with her short stories and novellas. This one didn’t engage me quite the same way the short stories in her Dark Protectors series do.

That being said, I still really enjoyed this story. There was, as usual with this author, great chemistry. Plus, it’s a second chance romance which is always fun. Like I said, I’m looking forward to finding out what’s happening in this world now that Scorpius is widespread and on the loose.
