Magic Stars 4.5 Stars In this short novella set within the Kate Daniels world readers are treated to a rare glimpse into the thoughts and feelings of a secondary character, namely Curran's Wolf, Derek Gaunt. The plot itself is pretty straightforward as Derek and Kate's adopted daughter, Julie, investigate a brutal home invasion and the theft of a rock with apparent magical properties. The actual investigation is action-packed with some intense moments as Derek deals not only with external threats, but with his internal demons as well. The most intriguing elements, however, are those that make this novella essential to the ongoing story arc as some important details are provided alongside hints of things to come. Overall, a well-written and enticing prologue to Derek and Julie's eventual spin-off series (one can hope!). I'll read anything set in this world, and this novella was super. It opened with a bang and never let up. I loved getting things from Derek's perspective, even though it was heartbreaking to be reminded of the worst of what he's been through in the series. Ilona Andrews does a nice job with short fiction as well as novels. I'm glad this is only the beginning of this spin-off. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:From award-winning author, Ilona Andrews, an original novella, set in the New York Times #1 bestselling Kate Daniels World and featuring fan-favorites, Derek, and Curran and Kate's very independent ward, Julie. Scarred, solitary Derek Gaunt has separated from his Pack, and is truly a lone wolf. With no family he answers to no one; but is fiercely loyal to a chosen few. So, when several of those close to him are murdered, he'll stop at nothing to hunt their killer through the magic-drenched streets of Atlanta. >br> Never one to be left on the sidelines, equally determinedâ??some might say stubbornâ??Julie Lennart-Olsen soon joins in his pursuit; and what began as revenge turns into a race to save the city. Their search pits them against powers they never imagined and magic so old, it predates history. It may cost Derek his life, but there are things for which even he would risk everything.

This was kind of okay. It has some interesting information about what Julie and Derek have been up to, and drops a few hints about the future. But I had a very hard time reading this, and ended up buying the audiobook so that I could finish it. ( )
