Next of Kin by Dan Wells
3.0

On the one hand, this was a very enjoyable short story. On the other hand, after reading book 4 I'm not sure if I really think it was a necessary addition and also am entirely unsure if I would recommend reading this before or after. Reading it before introduces the second half of the series and one of the new characters, but also kind of spoils the plot up until the halfway point. Reading it after I think would be entirely pointless because you would already know all of this, albeit from a different point of view. Still, it's interesting to get a POV from one of the 'demons' and it's very short so if you can grab a copy from the library like I did then it's probably worth a read.
