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!
MY THOUGHTS
The book lord has heard our pleads and have finally given us an
additional story in the Kate Daniels’ world! Magic Tides is a novella that
takes place approximately 10 years after book 10, Magic Triumphs and before
Julie’s book, Blood Heir. I love being back in Kate’s world and seeing what
Kate, Curran and Conlan been up to since we last saw them. Kate and the family moved
away from Atlanta to a small town in North Carolina, trying to stay under the
radar to live a simpler life. But its Kate we’re talking about. She may not
look for trouble but trouble will find her regardless. During a home
renovation, the relative of Kate’s contractor’s son is kidnapped. Kate doing what
she does best and never one to turn a blind eye takes it upon herself to
retrieve the young man.
It was an absolute blast to return to Kate’s world and although us readers been a way for a couple of years, it felt as if we’ve never left. Reading this felt effortless despite the 10 year break in the story. The authors did an amazing job at summarizing what we missed while we were gone, at the same time introducing us to new locations and characters. There was just the right amount of backstory. Everything was explained easily without feeling like info-dumping. With this book being a novella, the authors utilized every single word and space given. There was a lot of moving plots and characters but never once did I feel lost or rushed.
I loved Magic Tides! It oddly didn’t feel too short like the usual novellas, but I certainly wished there were more! It was great visiting old characters we’ve come to know and love but this new group of characters were just as fun and interesting and I can’t wait to see more of them! You can expect everything you love about the Kate Daniels series in this recent addition such as; snarky banter, kick-butt action, humor and just overall great and engaging storytelling. I am looking forward to more stories from Kate’s world, hopefully we won’t have to wait another couple of years!
