A review by hemloc
Darkest Powers Bonus Pack 1 by Kelley Armstrong

5.0

Three reasons to read Darkest Powers Bonus Pack 1:

1) Two of these stories are from Derek's POV, which is an immediate plus in my book. The third starts off as Simon's POV but humorously turns into Tori's a couple of pages in. It's always interesting getting to see into the characters' heads because Kelley Armstrong never fails to make them complex human beings.

2) The prologue is amazing. It shows 5-year-old Derek still living in the lab.

3) The second and third story relate events that happened during the trilogy but from different POVs, so there's no new plot information. There is, however, character evolution. I especially enjoyed Derek's growing feelings for Chloe and Tori's need for independence.
