Short description from goodreads :
Verity Price and Dominic De Luca are currently putting their relationship through what can only be termed the ultimate stress-test: they're traveling from one side of the country to the other in a rented U-Haul, accompanied only by Verity's colony of Aeslin mice and the contents of her iPod. (Dominic is receiving a crash course in modern dance and pop music.)
But what's a road trip without a hidden purpose? Verity knows she's driving Dominic toward the biggest confrontation of his life—her parents—and that means she needs to start easing him in gently. What better way than with a stop in
Poor Dominic didn't set out to become part of a ghost story, but it looks like that's exactly what's happening, as the old, new, and undead collide all over Bourbon Street.
My opinion:
I’m really fond of this universe an even more of Verity so even if I
haven’t gotten book 3 yet ( changed on Christmas, thanks Sullivan!) and despite that this novella is set after I needed
to read it without delay. I’m so glad I did! Yes there is a very small element
that could be considered spoiler for book 3 but you are so deeply engrossed
into verity and Dominic adventures that you put aside what isn’t the most
important right now. Even better ^^ the setting is the New Orleans
This was simply fabulous, funny and also
informative because Verity is organising a meeting between Dominic and her
aunt, the ghostly one, Rose who is no one else than the heroine of Seanan Ghost
series with “Sparrow hill Road” ( which I have! ^_^)….i do think Rose is a
character I will love greatly, she is as snarky as Verity but even manage to
make her blush^^…we also learned of the different kind of ghosts in that
universe all while keeping that part quite mysterious as Rose put it “ Daylight
isn’t for living one” so we get a glimpse of it and of part of its rules but
nothing more . It was really great!
I
can’t tell you a lot if I don’t want to make big spoiler since it’s a novella
only but if you are reading the Incryptid series you have to read this! The
only detail I missed were the mices, only cited I missed them but for the
rest just fabulous!
Score: 4/5

Thanks Miki, you helped me find several short stories I didn't know about. It's always fun to discover these shorts. I try to read them all.
