Story
You’d think being magically tethered to the hottest warden in all Verona wouldn’t be a hardship. You’d be wrong. Incubus Nico Azertiran has his dream job as a cherub-in-training. It’s the perfect position for a lust demon who’s more interested in happily-ever-afters than one-night stands. Or it would be, if he didn’t keep screwing it up. When a new cherub gadget misfires, Nico is left trussed to Verona’s most eligible warden, the incredibly grumpy, Sir Flame. Together they need to solve the crime, stay alive, and - if their luck changes - maybe even fall in love.

Story
Poe Dupin, raven shifter and thief extraordinaire, is in trouble with a capital ‘T.’ Not only did he get his wing caught in the cookie jar during his latest heist, but his loser stepdad, the alpha, seems determined to run their roost into the ground. And Baltimore is many things, but forgiving is not on the list. When his stepdad puts the roost in peril, Poe sees no choice but to bargain with Charm City’s only demon, Tommy Tittoti. Rumors are that Tommy eats the souls of those foolish enough to try.

The last thing half-dragon, half-fairy private investigator Twig Starfig wants to do is retrieve a stolen enchanted horn from a treacherous fae, but there's no denying the dazzlingly gorgeous unicorn who asks Twig to do just that. Literally, no denying, because compelling the reluctant detective is all part of a unicorn's seductive magic.

Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

“You are the savior of mankind” are the last words I ever expected to hear while nibbling on fries. The thing is, I’m not mankind saving material. I don’t even have magic (and just found out it exists). I’m the most boring, normal(ish) human ever. Suddenly, I’m being tossed right into the middle of a fight that started years before I was even born, and then I get partnered up with Alastair, a quirky magical Guardian. He is rather attractive and sweet when he’s not into the whole “woe is me, I can’t let myself fall in love with you” nonsense.

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

My whole life, I’ve been taught to despise shifters. So when I’m hired to track two escaped convicts, I’m suddenly thrust into the world I hate - or thought I did. Yet I’m inexplicably drawn to the alpha of the pack, whose land the convicts may be hiding on. He’s different than any shifter I've ever met - laidback and quick to laugh, caring, and protective. As secrets are revealed, I start to wonder if everything I’ve been raised to believe was a lie, though it may not matter, because it seems like someone wants us dead.

Publisher's Summary
Mystery short, prequel to Must Love Demons, no romance.
Incubus Nicodemos Azertiran is one lucky demon. He has a best friend. A tiny but livable apartment. And a job at the infamous Marden’s Magic Emporium, a magic shop that only appears in the same place once, and only when a creature is in dire need.
Nico knows all about dire need.
He’s been booted from his legion because his magic runs to happily-ever-afters instead of one-night stands. Not good for lust demon business. Now at Marden’s, Nico is learning to go it on his own.
When Sir Galfridus, First Knight of the Wardens, shows up on Marden’s doorstep, Nico just knows he can help the handsome knight find the perfect item to save the day.
Only one problem. The next day Sir Galfridus turns up dead. Marden’s patrons never die. That’s the whole point. They get the item and save the day. So, what went wrong?
Nico’s about to find out.
In Fair Verona is the inspiration for The Magic Emporium, a multi-author series where each audiobook stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium.

A sweet prequel!!
This is a Prequel to Must Love Demons.
This was a sweet introduction and a fairly quick listen.
The world building was engaging, descriptive and enthralling.
Darcy Stark's narration was enjoyable, engaging and entertaining.
After listening to this one, I immediately dived into the next book in this series.

Would I listen to it again: yes ✔
Did the story keep me engaged: yes ✔
Was I invested in the characters: yes ✔
📖 Story comment: It's difficult to do much with such a short story, but In Fair Verona gave me enough of a story that I'm interested in Nico's adventures and picked up Book 1. The world building is creative, the characters interesting and likeable and the story had a good pace.
🎧 Narrator comment: Darcy Stark did a good job on the narration, he has a good range of characters so its easy to distinguish them from each other. Has good cadence, inflections and intonations, I enjoyed his performance and think he bought the characters and story to life.

Nico's introduction
I'm a huge fan of Meghan Maslow and was excited to see this book become an audiobook. Hopefully this is the start of the series being put into audiobooks. It's an entertaining short story that is very well read by the narrator.
I have not had a book read by Darcy Stark before but I will have to find more of his books, he did an excellent job, Fleshing out each character and making even the dwarven poetry it's own unique thing. I hope that he will be back for when Nico's book is made into an audiobook.

Recommend!
I loved this look into Nico's life before the Cherubs. It was a great little mystery and really showed Nico's personality and life in Verona. As with most of Meghan Maslow's books, I never want to stop reading about her worlds. I loved how there were a few Easter eggs tying it to the Starfig books. It's very short but complete.
I really liked the narration and thought he brought the characters to life.

Not great but decent story
First off, the story was short, but it had a beginning, middle and end. It's not a romance - but urban fantasy mystery. I liked the characters and definitely enjoyed Nico. But the whole "love" thing kind of drove me insane. Nico's focus on someone trying to destroy love became too much because he kept harping on it. And the climax... it should have been satisfying, but it wasn't. It felt blah.
That said, though, I enjoyed the world the author built and I especially enjoyed the narration. So I have purchased the book that comes after this so I can read about Nico's romance... hopefully.

I loved this introduction into how Nico ended up working for the Cupids and we even had a brief mention of the Warden he winds up working with. I love the whole idea of an incubus whose powers are not like the othe incubi. Great story and I love the narrator Darcy Stark.

Another Meghan Maslow series? Oh yeah, I'm there
It takes a special kind of imagination to develop a romance-loving incubus whose 'special energy' is love, not lust! I was already in love with Meghan Maslow's Starfig Investigation series, so I was well prepared to dive into anything and everything else she writes. This winter, she spearheaded the Magic Emporium series and is making her contribution into a series that will be continuing indefinitely. Starting with this prequel mystery 'In Fair Verona', readers are able to find out how Nico the Incubus manages to get his position as a cupid. At the beginning of the short, we find Nico being sexually harassed by the much-admired knight Sir Galfridus as he works at Marden's Magic Emporium. The shop appears only when a creature is in dire need and Nico's task is to find an object that the knight should have to keep him safe and alive. When the knight is killed, Nico is compelled to investigate the matter and he manages to solve the mystery. Masterfully narrated by Darcy Stark, 'In Fair Verona' is an awesome start to what promises to be an absolutely fantastic series.

Verona should have been a clue 🤦🏻♀️
So, definitely a great paranormal story with some good world building going on, though the story is about romance there is no romance between the main characters.
However the similarities of a couple of things to a certain Shakespearean play should have given me a heads up to where the plot was going, I always cry at the play and there was a brief teary moment with this story as well.
The ending was all sewed up with a nice bow and I am looking forward to the next book however I wouldn't call this a HEA book because of the side characters ending.

Everything a novella should be - a short juicy plot with well-drawn characters!
Nico is an unusual incubus demon: instead of inspiring and feeding off lust, his magic inspires true love in those around him. This has led to disastrous jobs at sex clubs and he currently works at Marden’s Magic Emporium. When star warden and self-obsessed pretty boy, Sir Galfridus, enters the Emporium, Nico gets embroiled in tracking down a crazed killer. This fun prequel novella introduces Marden’s and provides a taster to the wonderful Must Love Demons. Meghan Maslow is a brilliant urban fantasy / romance author and all her books are well worth a read. Nico is a decent, brave and clever demon and Darcy Stark really inhabits the character well in his audio narrations. This story has humour, the spice of danger, and wonderful world building that is effortlessly woven through the story. There is no sex scene in this novella but there are plenty in Must Love Demons.
