When I saw that this was available I stopped everything else I was doing and started reading. When Ilona Andrews announced on their website that they were working on this short story, I was exceedingly excited. The finished product does not disappoint. 
 I love seeing things in the Kate Daniels world from a different perspective. There are some surprise revelations that I can't imagine won't pop up somewhere in the remainder of the main series and have a big impact. I loved seeing Derek and Julie get to work together. The story is told from Derek's POV which is something readers / fans haven't gotten yet, and I really like being in his head, but I think I didn't realize how damaged he is from things in his past. I know he's been through a lot, but it's always different when you're looking at it from the outside. All I can say is I hope there may be a certain someone in the future who can help him heal ;) 
 Overall, I loved it. It's a great, quick read!
