3.0

This was enjoyable but not the greatest novella I've read by them. I liked the premise, and I rather like the idea of the younger generation--the characters who are beloved by readers but little more than sidekicks in the Kate Daniels books--getting their own adventures and character arcs.

The novella is told in third-person limited, and so while we get to see Derek's admiration for Julie, she's really the highlight of the story and I would have much rather read her version. His seemed sort of flat at times.

That being said, I read this all at once and enjoyed it. I don't regret paying money for it.
