About this deal

This story centers around Derek's investigation into the murder of a human family with ties to Kate and Curran. He takes it personally when someone murders children. Julie gets pulled into the investigation when the case she is working ends up tied to his. The main plot had some of the elements I always expect from the Andrews. They seem to find a way to incorporate unusual lore into their stories and this is no exception with the addition of The Hunter, Evil Mermaids and others. This also has plenty of action with a dose of IA’s trademark humor. I don’t want to say more about the main plot other than I think it was the best of all the novellas. This is by far my favorite novella in the series Reader: I’m sorry if you have already answered this but will Julie get a book/series? It seemed like a setup at the end of Magic Triumphs, but was it only to leave an opening with no set plans to continue? Please tell me that is not the case!! Marketing [ edit ] The fact that the chocolate bar floats in milk was highlighted by advertising campaigns in several European countries [11]

So, Derek and Julie end up on a case together and we get to see them interact alone. It is the best thing since the joining of chocolate and peanut butter. Seriously! The scenes in the water were disapointed, it didn't feel like a 2017's production (even for a low-budget) but like a 1990's production... IA: [...] or if it’s that trend of hero can be forgiven everything while the heroine can be forgiven nothing. The girl of the second couple she is soo annoying but I mean I think in every drama their is always this character that you don't like which is really annoying, you I was like doesn't matter just watch.There are just two words one can say after a novella like Magic Stars. You all know them, you all say them often enough. MORE, PLEASE. I put some rewatch value because I think I will not mind if I have to rewatch it with someone or whenI eat or things like that (because yes, I hate watching serious/incredible stuff when I eat ahah). It's no secret that I'm an Ilona & Gordon Andrews fan girl, I adore all of their books but I'm especially addicted to the Kate Daniels series. Derek has always been one of my favourite side characters and I love Julie too so the second I found out about this novella it jumped straight to the top of my most wanted books pile. As fans of the series will know most of the novellas aren't essential and can be skipped if you only want to read the full length books (although why anyone would want to skip ANYTHING by this couple is beyond me!) but I'd say that's definitely not the case with Magic Stars. We get a lot of insight into the series as a whole in this story and it's well worth reading even if you don't usually read novellas or short stories.

Magic Stars begins the Grey Wolf series, a spin-off of Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, in which Derek, a 20 year old shapeshifter who can turn into a wolf, takes center stage, although fans of Kate and Curran will be pleased to know that they make a brief appearance. Review first posted on Fantasy Literature. Magic Stars, while enjoyable, just doesn't live up to it's big sister full novels. Derek the wolf is hunting down killers when he runs into Julie at the crime scene. Together, they adventure. It's all very magical with interesting creatures and lots of action, tempered by Derek's internal dialogue. However. However, the pacing feels off, going from fight to fight without much consideration. Julie's been powered up, and feels a great deal like Kate Junior, with teenage attitude. Tough talk, wealth of knowledge, magic in a pinch (beyond her inherent, rare magic), fighting skills and ingrained emotional distance.

A long-running advertising slogan for the product in the United Kingdom was, "The sweet you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite". [12] In 1991, the Health Education Authority and anti-sugar lobbyists both complained, without success, to the Independent Television Commission that such advertising encouraged children to eat sweets between meals. The ITC agreed with Mars that its advertisements in fact encouraged restrained eating. [13] Derek and Julie work together to find the killers of a family and found out what they were after that warranted them killing the whole family. It was like reading a Kate and Curran adventure. There was action, blood (lots of blood), snark and magic. Plus a big lead up to the future for both Derek and Julie.

There were some hints of her awesomeness that in the last little bit of the story lines. But I didn’t realize how much of a powerhouse she was becoming until this book….and I was amazed. I was both excited and horrified to learn what Julie does with her time when Kate isn’t around. She is playing a very dangerous game and she could very well be the lynch pin in the final upcoming battles. You CANNOT skip this novella. I'm not saying that b/c love the Andrews (which I bloody well do). I'm saying that b/c at least three major events take place in this book. THREE. At least. Their is actually no romance I mean I think they actually really care about them but their romance has not developedThank you so much to Steven, for sending this to me as an early Christmas present! <---how cool is this guy?! OH YEAH, also, Bai Ze being crafty and making stuff and so on, that's so cool, I'm really happy that they add these kind of scenes, for real ! I was craving for them. I think it would have been really better with more friendship (maybe some bromance, the storyline is really good for bromance but there is none...). The friendship is good but not enough developed, that's a pity. And maybe less episodes or better transitions/logical development between each "arc"/episode. But the drama is good overall, at least to watch one time and it will be a good memory ! If you read Kate Daniels, I don't highly recommend this book . . . I INSIST you read it. And all the real fangirls (and boys) will. So next year, when you're gearing up to read KATE #9, and you see a bunch of posts like, "OMG, what's Hugh (<------hell, yes, I did just name drop) going to do now that _______?!" or, "Is Julie going to tell Kate ________?" you won't get to spew your righteous anger b/c spoilers, b/c NOT SPOILERS. Not if you're current. That's it. That's all the hints I'm giving about Magic Stars, so you'll just have to read it if you want to know more. But make no mistake, just because this one is a novella, it doesn't make it unimportant.

BUT, I will ALWAYS take quality over quantity and you know what -- I’d rather not see a beloved side character at all in the main books if it’s just gonna be a bunch of meaningless facetime. I’ve been feeling this more and more with many of the supporting characters in the recent books, and most particularly, in the latest book, with Derek. Milky Way® Brand Timeline". Mars Incorporated.

Mythology-wise, I loved the Fae feel of this novella's obstacles. I suspect at least two of the creatures have their roots in Russian fairy tales (probably all three), but Fae-like creatures are Fae-like creatures no matter whence they hail. If you read KATE DANIELS, you have to read this novella. HAVE to. ENDGAME-changing stuff happens. I'm not exaggerating. GET READY. December is right around the freaking corner. Here's what IA had to say in response to a reader who obviously (like me) wanted more about Julie and the rest of the crew: Actual rating: 12 stars. Yep. Take that you haters who thought I was exaggerating when I gave this story 10 stars before reading it. Gone but not Forgotten". 30 January 2012. Archived from the original on 22 March 2014 .
