Ilona Andrews invites you back to the #1 New York Times bestselling
Kate Daniels series in this exciting new long novella featuring
Kate, Curran and Conlan, some familiar faces, some new friends, and
all the special brand of chaos they create!
Kate, Curran and their son, Conlan have left Atlanta, vowing to keep a
low profile, and are settling into a new city and new house…but some
things never change! Magical mayhem is about to erupt when Kate
undertakes the rescue of a kidnapped youth, while Curran guards the
homefront.
It should be a simple retrieval, but with monsters on land and sea,
Kate’s got her work cut out for her. Still, she's never let her blade
dull or her purpose falter. And that low profile? It’s about to wash
away with the raging tides!
I was so surprised and excited that we were getting a Kate Daniels
novella and I'd been saving it for this weekend because I wanted to
savor it slowly. And omg what a treat! If there's a series that's a
favorite 'everything' for me the Kate Daniels series is it - my favorite
protagonist, favorite book husband, favorite couple, favorite characters
- you get it. Tbh it's my dream to be as bad-ass as Kate all right.
Sadly I don't have a sword(or scary-powerful magic)🤣 Nvm I'll work with
what I have. I was soo sad when this series ended back in 2018 and I'd
keep doing a yearly re-read, so it's really amazing to be back in this
world!
So, in Magic Tides, we get to follow Kate, her shapeshifter hubby Curran
and their now 8-year old son Conlan after they shifted from Atlanta to
Wilmington, hoping for a quieter and more normal life(ahem as normal as
they can be 😂). But you know what they say about best laid plans lol.
When Kate learns that the cousin of Conlan's friend has been kidnapped,
she jumps in to help them of course(there goes her plan to lay low) and
ends up taking on a gang of traffickers and a few other dangerous
entities!
This was more slice of life - there's the IA humor and witty banter
along with some amazing action of course - but nothing too life
threatening 🤣 Kate is just as kick-ass as usual, but I feel like she's
also gotten better at controlling her impulses haha😂 and also we have
many chapters from Curran's pov along with one Conlan chapter too!💃
They were both amazing and I loved seeing how they were handling
Conlan's relationship with grandpa(*cough*) Roland - nice parenting I'd
say. I feel like the connection between Kate and Curran is just the same
as before, with so much understanding and trust. We also get to meet a
few old faces and many new ones too. Though they may have left the Pack,
they're both born leaders and it's nice to see how that's reflected here
in the way the other characters treat them. Also that part where we get
to see Curran's thoughts about Jim and his attitude towards them 💔 I
have complicated feelings when it comes to Jim and I imagine both Kate
and Curran feel the same. With their new start in Atlanta and how Keelan
and many other shifters have slowly joined them, I feel there is going
to be a shift in the power structure and idk how Jim and the others will
react to that. It's definitely intriguing! I also loved seeing Kate's
convo with Hugh(omg could you have imagined this happening a few books
back?🤣). Though Kate and Curran might not be close anymore with some
other friends, I feel like they also have a huge family now - one that
they can trust and count on. And that makes me so happy!
This novella not only gives us some long lost Kate Daniels goodness, but
also sets up the stage for some interesting things that might happen in
the future - and I'm here for it!!! Here's me praying to the gods for
more spin-off books/novellas(there must be right since this is
Wilmington Years #1? Yes, is the only right answer). Go read this if you
are a KD fan and if you haven't read this series yet - what are you
waiting for?!?!?
