The first 2 novellas were good, interesting and can't wait to see where this all fits in later on.
The Brishen and Idilko novella, MWAH CHEFS KISS I love them, so good and spicy.

I haven't read the series that 2 of these stories go with, but the 3rd story for the Wraith Kings series was a quick funny romp about fellatio between different species.

Short stories for three books I adored. It was nice to get a little more of our favorite characters. You don’t need to read this if you don’t feel like it but I love Grave’s work so much, I had to.

Review for Crow Awakened only: 3.5 stars! Short and sweet, this novel answered one of the questions plaguing me after I finished the sequel. I only hope that there will be more in this world, as I enjoy the characters so much.

5 stars!
Thanks so much to Grace Draven for bestowing upon me this wonderful collection of her short stories!
These short stories were filled with fluff. Fluff so pure and beautiful that had me grinning from ear to ear as I read Draven's wonderful words.
STRONG BLOOD
I've read this story quite a while back when Grace released this on her website. Although, I did quite enjoy re-reading this story since I loved Ballard and I want more of that man. Silhara and Ballard together in one scene was awesome to read. I also loved how funny they were together too. They were just two men bonding over their awesome wives.
CROW AWAKENED
Oh man, oh man, oh man... I was not prepared for this one!!!! Silhara and Martise were awesome in [b:Master of Crows|6811150|Master of Crows (Master of Crows, #1)|Grace Draven|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1316187731s/6811150.jpg|7018843] and [b:The Brush of Black Wings|21897507|The Brush of Black Wings (Master of Crows, #2)|Grace Draven|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1429561441s/21897507.jpg|41189848] . So reading about them after these wonderful stories was awesome. I loved returning to their world and once again meeting Anya and Gurn. This story was great in the sense that we get to experience Silhara's love for his wife once again and it was pure magic. I won't spoil why Martise's health is deteriorating because that reveal in itself was a beauty.
A MATTER OF TRUST
WOOOOOOOAAAHHHHHH
GRACE DRAVEN, I was not prepared for this steamy...and I mean STEAMY interlude between Brishen and Ildiko when I cracked their story open!
There's something about this couple that just makes me fall in love with them all over again once I read their names. I love Brishen something fierce and Ildiko is a great woman. These scene was amazing and I loved seeing them do mundane things like getting ready for bed, going to dinners etc. I love how Brishen and Ildiko interact with one another. It's done with such ease yet there is still some trepidation there because of what occurs in this story. Their love story was a slow burn in [b:Radiance|24473763|Radiance (Wraith Kings, #1)|Grace Draven|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1422721500s/24473763.jpg|40780371] but their intensity seriously shows after they've found where they're supposed to be with one another. I love these too so much!
All in all, these stories deserve the 5 stars because of how awesome and seamless the writing is. These couples deserve this, "fluff" as I call it, because they've all been through so much hardships whether it be Demons, tortures and curses. Grace Draven still holds that gift, that magic in her writing and I will never stop reading her beauties!
