Synopsis

Family reunions suck.When the thing that birthed her drags Gesa back to the gryphon clan using her sister’s illness as bait, Gesa and her harem find themselves breaking out of an asylum and fleeing assassins—without really knowing who the creeps are even targeting. After all, there are so many options to choose from on the list of people who want Gesa or her lovers dead.But the trouble doesn’t stop when she leaves clan lands. Oisin’s been hiding someone, and Gesa doesn’t like unexpected visitors. Meanwhile, Hisashi is struggling with unwanted messages from the spirit world, and Kaimana might not be what she seems.And people wonder why Gesa doesn’t want to deal with a pride.Author’s Note:I was tired of reading the same old thing over and over again in reverse harem. Sick of all alpha male and fainting female all the time—and desperate to be able to tell the male characters apart—I tried to infuse some variety into my story. Gesa might not be your cup of tea, and that’s okay—she doesn’t care. Her lovers are as varied in physicality and personality as they are in supernatural race. And the characters all have their own definition of sexuality. I know reverse harem is all about the fantasy, and my fantasy is a bit outside the norm. You’ve been warned. Story length definitions:Flash fiction: 200-2,000 wordsShort story: 1,500-7,500 wordsNovelette: 7,500-15,000 wordsNovella: 15,000-40,000 wordsNovel: 50,000 words and up.*Gesa’s Menagerie books are novellas of between 30,000-40,000 words.*

Goodreads review by Matthew on September 16, 2016

An interesting account of the Microsoft trial, which everyone my age will remember as being "a thing" in the news for a while. But then, like many "a things," it just sort of went away, didn't it? The story vanished off the front page and then, years later, occasionally nerds like myself would wonde......more
