I've read Blood Brothers by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell last night, it's a short story in The Order of the Sanguines series. I must say I'm starting to hate those "short story exclusives" released just before a new full book in a series. Most of the time the short story is shorter than the taster of the new full book (usually the first couple of chapters).
I don't mind them as much if they're stand alone stories but I hate it even more when a new character is introduced or something important for the series as a whole happens which is either repeated in the same words in the next full story or is not summarized at all in the next book and you're left wondering what you've missed.
