Small Kingdoms and Other Stories by Charlaine Harris

Small Kingdoms and Other Stories

by Charlaine Harris

A new collection of linked short stories from Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse books, the basis for HBO's True Blood, and the Midnight Crossroad series, the inspiration for Midnight, Texas on NBC.

Principal Anne DeWitt knew her past could catch up with her, but she didn't expect it would make her late for school. Killing a man does take time though; so does disposing the body . . . if you do it right.

After three relatively quiet years at Travis High School, it seems Anne is in danger of being exposed—even the baseball coach knows more about her former life than she ever imagined. Now, she must find out who else holds her secrets and who wants her to pay for them. . .without letting it make her tardy again. Anne still has a school to run, parents to manage, and a few students who might benefit from her unique—and deadly—experience.

Collected together for the first time in Small Kingdoms and Other Stories, "Small Kingdoms," "Sarah Smiles," "Small Chances," and "Small Signs" are sure to delight fans of Charlaine Harris.

*I received a free copy of Small Kingdoms & Other Stories from NetGalley. This has in no way influenced my review which is honest and unbiased.*

Charlaine Harris is still a genius! Anne DeWitt is the kind of heroine who is probably on the wrong side of the moral right, but still, she’s the kind of heroine you can’t help but root for!
With four short stories, Small Kingdoms & Other Stories kind of made me hungry for more, too!
Anne really intrigued me from the start, and she still does! But Harris still made it so that I felt like I got to know her a little bit - and the way she went from chilling killer to modest principal just made her even more intriguing.
