I am not much of a novella/short story reader, but I will read anything that is in this world. The Kate Daniel's series is one of my all time favorites, so it's a no brainer. 
 This story, focuses on Derek and Julie. I loved getting more insight into Derek's past, and how everything that has happened to him since meeting him in the first book has molded him into the person that he is now. 
 I never thought that there would be a hint at romance with these two, but I got that vibe. I could be wrong; there is another character in the series that is closer to Julie is age. But I like the idea of these two, and hope that this is the angle that it's going. 
 We also learn more and Julie and there are a few things that we find out about her and things that she knows. Honestly, I am axious because something is telling me the direction of this is not somewhere I want it to go - and I hope I'm wrong. 
 All in all, if you follow the Kate Daniels series this one is a must read!
