In the start of a
new series but in the Kate Daniels world, Julie is returning to Atlanta to
protect those she loves:
Atlanta has always been a dangerous city and if anything it has become more dangerous since Julie left eight years ago. Julie has changed a lot in those eight years, she has a new name, Aurelia Ryder, new face and new abilities she needs to make sure that no one from her past recognize her. An ancient Power is stalking her mother, Kate, and if Kate faces this new threat she will die.
I am so glad that I read this book and it really made me miss the Kate Daniels series but it was nice to have a new perspective especially with Andrews finishing her series, so anything that is going to take me back into that world I am here for. I will say that I was a little lost for the first part of the book about what happened to Julie and I recommend reading the very short story A King of Fire before you start this book as it gives you a bit of background, but not quite enough that I felt like I was missing some Information.
Julie (Aurelia) is very much like
Kate in the way that she gets things done, very much mother like Daughter and I
enjoyed that she didn’t take anything from anyone. She also understands the
power she now wields with a new face. I was excited that this book was going to
feature Derek and he has changed since the last time we read about him (he was
always one of my favourite characters) and i do wonder what he has been doing
for those 8 years, there are some hints but nothing major. I will say that it
took too long for Derek to show up in the book.
I found the plot a little bit
slow at times, but I found the overall mystery interesting and Andrews never
fails to have different creatures and histories displayed in the book. I did
find that it read more like second half of the Hidden Legacy series by Andrews,
but maybe when there is book two we will get more Julie and Derek time (one can
only hope).
Really enjoyed this spin off
series and made me want more not only from this series but Kate's series as
well. If you enjoyed Kate's series, then you will want to pick this one up too.
Enjoy!!
