If you read Kate Daniels, I don't highly recommend this book. I suspect at least two of the creatures have their roots in Russian fairy tales (probably all three), but Fae-like creatures are Fae-like creatures no matter whence they hail.īut none of that matters, b/c you have to read it anyway. Mythology-wise, I loved the Fae feel of this novella's obstacles. Suffice it to say that this is definitely a team effort, and, man alive, do they make an excellent team. Derek heads back to the Iveses' home to look for it himself-If Caleb Adams wants it, Caleb Adams isn't going to get it. *whispers* Maybe b/c they killed the Iveses rather than asking them where it was. Only his desire to know why these men murdered the Iveses keeps him from slaughtering them when he kicks their door down, and find out he does: they were mercenaries hired to retrieve a rock for a warlock named Caleb Adams.īUT. Our story opens with Derek ambushing a group of men who killed a family who were business acquaintances of Kate and co. Besides learning to wield tomahawks and occasionally hanging out with Roland when Kate's not looking. In MAGIC STARS, we learn all that and so much more.ģ. How he's reconciled himself to a Lone Wolf's existence. How useless he feels now that he can no longer charm important information out of persons of interest for Pack security. What we didn't know is how much harder he struggles for equilibrium than the average shapeshifter. We know the circumstances surrounding his entrance to the Pack, and, just like his face since the rakshasas got ahold of him in MAGIC STRIKES, they aren't pretty.

As the series progresses, he gets more and more withdrawn, more and more. A lot of you have been concerned about Boy Wonder for awhile now.

I'm saying that b/c at least three major events take place in this book. I'm not saying that b/c love the Andrews (which I bloody well do).
