Teagan's wife, Cressidae, is missing. She has left for the Shadow Realm, a kingdom of the dead filled with untold nightmares-and the only place that can save Teagan from a lethal poison that's killing her slowly. It is ruled by a princess said to make powerful deals with those brave enough to find her, and Cressidae has gone to bargain for Teagan's life. Cressidae has forgotten one very important thing: no one makes it out on their own. Despite the risks to her own safety, Teagan is determined to save her wife-and perhaps even herself in the process. The princess of the Shadow Realm, however, doesn't let mortals roam her territories without opposition. In this thrilling fantasy novella, Teagan and Cressidae must face both the horrors of the Shadow Realm as well as their own past.

First of all I want to thank NetGalley for the review copy in exchange for an honest review.
And now onto said review. I feel like I would have needed a hundred pages more to be able to fully connect to the characters and the story. I liked the premise, what I read was fine, but I felt like it was not enough. I would have loved to see more backstory to the main characters, I don't find what we need enough to root for them as a couple. I would have also loved to see more of the Princess, she seemed interesting but we didn't get enough to grasp me.
Writing a short story is hard for the very reasons this one didn't get me as interested as it should have. It's still an entertaining read, but I feel like it could have been more than that.
