Wraith happens to be my favorite Seminus demon and it was a yummy treat to have this little glimpse into his life, after the book. Thank you, Larissa!

What a delicious glimpse into the lives of my two favorite Demonica characters!

There is now one more posted on the website, "Revenant". I don't understand why these are not tacked onto the end of the books they belong to in an epilogue section. They are all very short, but interesting to read and see where she imagined the characters lives heading.

OMG! :D
Thank you so much Larissa! :D
This is so freaking hot that I am here, as always, flushed and squirming in my seat! xD

Wow, who would have said that a vampire hunting is that hot? xD
And the blood high and all that passion between Serena and Wraith...
Pff, I want! xD

And Tayla and Eidolon are finally going to have a "Hell spawn", in the words of Wraith! :D
OMG! Eidolon is going to be a wonderful father. I know it!
And Tayla is going to be a great mother as well because she is different since she bonded with E. :)

And it was so sweet to see the sensitive side of Luc and his reaction to his daughter! +.+

OMG!
Larissa, please! I want to read about Lore and Idess now! +.+

It took me a while to fond the short stories but they are on Larissa Ione's blog. If you like her Demonica series you will love these short stories that catch you up with what's Bern happening in everyones lives. What would have made this perfect would be an update on Shade and Runa :)

To read this snippets, must finish Demonica and Lords of Deliverance series first.

This review will always update after I read all story in the snippets. Add my review about Shade & Runa's and Reaver's :)

FIRST READ : Read at September 2010

This is the story after the event from [b:Passion Unleashed|4701550|Passion Unleashed (Demonica, #3)|Larissa Ione|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344267582s/4701550.jpg|4765865]. So this one is about Wraith and Serena. Told their life after they're mated and how Serena face her new life as a vampire. My compliment just, well the story is to short.

BTW, Give me more of them, and I will happy, if Larissa Ione make free story about Eidolon-Tayla, my other favorite couple :D

SECOND READ : March, 2011

Well, at March, 28th, 2011, my dream is come true!!!

Finally, Larissa wrote the scene between E and Tayla. The story take place between [b:Sin Undone|7715664|Sin Undone (Demonica, #5)|Larissa Ione|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344263648s/7715664.jpg|10083611] and [b:Eternal Rider|8843801|Eternal Rider (Lords of Deliverance, #1, Demonica, #6)|Larissa Ione|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1305020644s/8843801.jpg|12799995]. Tell about E that want to be a father and make Tayla pregnant, but he don't want use his power to do that. Wonder that finally, he and Tayla get what they want ^^. Beware, their sex scene is scorching HOT!!

Now, all Seminus Brothers (except Lore and Sin), are become father..

I'm happy for them ^^

My review after read it :

We know Luc, warg and competent medical staff at UGH (Underworld General Hospital). After the event at [b:Sin Undone|7715664|Sin Undone (Demonica, #5)|Larissa Ione|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344263648s/7715664.jpg|10083611], he meet his mate, another warg, Kar. Kar is pregnant,and she will giving a birth soon. Like mostly men, Luc not ready to become father. Although he want to help Kar, Luc can't do anything since Kar want to do it herself. Luc feel helpless, but his life is complete, when finally their child born.

The story is short, but sweet. Not hot like another Demonica:Overkill story, but its good to see what happen to Luc and Kar when they face the beginning of their parenthood. There are cameo from Runa and Conall too. For Demonica fans,this short story of course can't be missed!

FOURTH READ : January, 24 2014

Color me surprised but maybe because I'm so busy last year, I missed two short story that Ms Ione deliver (and posted on her blog). If I'm not stumbled into Goodreads, maybe I'll missed it :(.
The first is Oh, Christmas Hell, Oh, Christmas Hell that told Runa and Shade's story. Whoaa their children are so cute and even this couple is not my favorite, I enjoy their story. It basically about Shade's worriness with Christmas for he doesn't want to lie to his children about Santa, and Runa help him to understand. Very short, and not steamy. So it safe to read this in the office, lol!

The second is O Come, All Ye Horsemen (and Angels), which continued after event in Shade's. This is a spoiler one, if you not read Rogue Rider first, you can skip this one. Already read it? Good.

So, Reaver just found that he is the father of Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, and now he doesn't know what to do with his children. See, he missed them for five thousands years, give and take. So not daddy material. With help from Eidolon (me squeal here!!), Reaver giving the Horsemen the most awesome gift for them all. The story is very short (shorter than Shade's) but it still bring tears in my eyes. I can't wait to read Reaver's own book after this :)
