We get to see what drives Amethyst to Edenton. Carl is her stalker boyfriend that after much protesting to her mother and Fallon she has to use her powers to get rid of him. Little does she know Carl has a few hidden secrets getting rid of him would not be as easy as she thought.
I like the series but this could have been included in the full length book. It was good getting a glimpse of how the council worked and her relationship with Preston.

Shadows fall is a short story that gives us more background into Amethyst Lakes. Amethyst's story is told in the next book, but there is a great deal of background that has to be left out, so this short story was added in to fill in that information.
Amethyst is a nymph, and she has been dating a warlock, Carl, but things aren't going well and she breaks things off. Carl doesn't take the rejection too well and starts to stalk her. She does everything she can to get him to realize that they are over, so he decides to be vindictive and reports her to the Silver Council saying that she bewitched him.
Amethyst is taken into custody, and things look really bad for her, because the guy in charge of the investigation has a history of abusing nymph's when they are brought in, but lucky for her, one of the guys who picks her up recognizes the name and her mother, and calls a family friend, who arrives just in time to prevent anything untold from happening.
This story then tells of the councils findings and Carl's actions, and what finally drives Amethyst to leave and move to Edenton, where her good friend Fallon is living, along with Jess.

I received this book in exchange for a review LOP.
First let me say, there was a lot of information in 44 pages. Second, why are all the exes NUTS! First there is Gregory who acts tough and turns out to be a cry baby, then there is Issac who is completely bonkers and now there is Carl who is so crazy that because his ex girlfriend Amethyst doesn't want to be with him, he turns her into the magical council. It's funny how much you can grow to hate someone in such a short amount of time. I do like that the conversation with Fallon from the 1st book is included in this one because I was so confused and I hated being on one side of a phone conversation.

I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author and Carrie, the moderator of Lovers of Paranormal group of Goodreads for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
This is the novella that gives us an introduction of Amethyst's life before she moves on to Edenton. We get a glimpse of her life with her Ex Carl and the problems they had. Carl went to extremes to get Amethyst back and by extreme I mean it literally.
It laid a great plot for the next novel and also gave us the little details about Amethyst and her background. I loved this novella like all other books in this series. A great read!!!
