Ami's Hoard

3.5 stars

I enjoyed Sabina Kane series so much, it was really fun to be with Sabina and the whole gang again. Being a novella, the story was not complicated. We had a missing female mage, Cadence -- who used to be Adam's ex-lover -- and Sabina, Adam, along with (my favorite demon character) Giguhl, formed a search & rescue team, especially when they found out that Cadence was involved with drugs.

I loved reading about the 'after-the-end' life -- like Giguhl and Valva and their kids (although imagining Giguhl and his teats and him feeding the kids was NOT a pretty imagery *lol*); I even enjoyed Sabina still being jealous and grumpy about Adam's history with Cadence. And of course I loved how Adam calmed her. It was nice to see Sabina still being hot-headed, and not mellowed just because they have their happy end.

The only reason for me to stop giving this a 4-star was because I felt quite disappointed with how Sabina dealt with the 'villain'. I guess I was a little blood-thirsty, and I wanted to see Sabina kicked this villain ass all the way to Hell. But instead, she was being a good diplomat and let Nyx dealt with him? What's up with that, Sabina?!

All in all, Rusted Veins was still a nice Halloween treat...
