This is a collection of three of Kitty Thomas’s previously published novellas The Auction, Awakening, and The King’s Pleasure. Anything by Kitty Thomas is guaranteed to make you squirm in both the good and bad ways.

I enjoyed this collection. I had wanted to read a few of these before, but I’m glad I held off since it’s a real steal bundled together.
