"Entertaining short story!"
As Talihina "Tali" Cates is trying to finish up a green
box for the museum opening, her "Mumsie" comes in and
interrupts her work to give her a warning. The warning deals
with a painting and fire and ice. As is normal when her mother gives her a warning from the
spirits, Tali lets it go in one ear and out the other. She
really needs to get the box finished. The opening is this
evening and she really wants to help her friends at the
museum. So she puts the finishing touches on the glass box,
gets cleaned up and dressed appropriately, and goes to the
museum. When she gets there, she hands over the glass box and greets
a few friends. Then she decides to go check out the new
exhibit — an exact duplicate of one in Germany. It's a World
War II exhibit. At that point, there's a loud scream and the
sound of glass breaking and Tali's the first one in the
room. When she gets inside, it's to find Jessie, someone new
to the museum, unconscious and the museum's director, Tom
Scott, dead. The police show up and Tali finds a necklace
similar to one in the painting hanging on the wall on Tom's
body, which she pockets. Eventually, Tali goes home to find
her ex-boyfriend, Aiden—a vampire—with some more news. Turns
out the necklace holds power and a Dark Lord wants it and
Tali. What is the deal with the necklace? Who is this Dark Lord
and what does he want with Tali? Will Aiden be able to keep
Tali safe? Will he stick around this time, or break Tali's
heart again? MUSEUMS ARE MURDER is a lighthearted, fun read. Carol
Shenold writes a fascinating story of love, werewolves,
vampires and demons. While this is a short story and can
easily be read in one sitting, Carol Shenold manages to put
everything necessary in it to make a entertaining read. From
the vampire in love with a human, even though he knows
that's not a good thing, to a woman with power who has no
idea she even has it. And don't forget the Dark Lord, he's
in here too. All in all a very entertaining read and one I
highly recommend.
