A boy, a ghost and a lynx. Also, Magnus wears silk pyjamas embroidered with Pokémon.

Merged review:

"Jem went inside to his wife and his baby and his boy, to his long awaited home."
Jem fathering Kit makes my heart happy.

'This evening the whole sky was bronze, as though to summon wicked powers.'
I see you Cassie, I see you.

The last story with Jem gave me all the feels.

I had already read all the mini stories and loved them all. This is technically the 3rd time I've read these stories and yet I was still touched by each one. I had plenty of laughs at Jems expense (thank you Lily Chen and Brother Smackariah). The 2 new chapters tugged at my heartstrings and I can't wait to see where Kit and Ash end up.

It turns out that anthologies are fun when you actually enjoy them. Thought it would be fun to do individual reviews of each story, so here goes. Light spoilers, I guess?


These books are my guiltless guilty pleasure reads and this story bind-up is no different. Some stories I liked more than others, any glimpse of Malec sets my heart racing, but it is a good consistent collection with important bonus information that ties it to both past and forthcoming books .
