If you are looking for a quick and satisfying read in the paranormal romance genre, you might want to check out True Colors by Thea Harrison. This novella is part of her Elder Races series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone story.
True Colors follows Alice Clark, a Wyr and schoolteacher, who has had two friends murdered in as many days, and she’s just stumbled upon the body of a third. She arrives at the scene only minutes before Gideon Riehl, a detective in the Wyr Division of Violent Crime—and, as Alice inconveniently recognizes at first sight, her mate.
But the intense connection Riehl and Alice feel is further complicated when the murders are linked to a serial killer who last struck seven years ago, killing seven people in seven days. They have just one night before the killer strikes again. And every sign points to Alice as the next victim.
True Colors is a fast-paced and suspenseful story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The chemistry between Alice and Gideon is palpable, and the twist about Alice’s Wyr form is surprising and fun. The author does a great job of creating a vivid and intriguing world of shapeshifters, magic, and mystery.
The novella is only 93 pages long, but it packs a lot of action, romance, and emotion. The characters are well-developed and likable, and the writing is smooth and engaging. The novella also has a satisfying ending that wraps up the main plot and the romance.
True Colors has received mostly positive reviews from readers who praised the author’s storytelling skills, the originality of the plot, and the sweetness of the couple. Some readers wished the novella was longer, or that it had more depth and detail, but most agreed that it was a great addition to the Elder Races series.
