Magic Stars on Books On Track

Update: Re-read: 2 Sept 2018:

A short story told mostly from Derek's point of view, with a scene at the end from Julie's.

It was very interesting getting into their heads and seeing how much more there is to them both. (view spoiler).

Derek 'the Boy Wonder' and Julie, the ward of Kate Daniels' finally get their own novella. Julie's still too young, but both she and Derek both realize, although they would never admit it to each other, that they are a bonded pair.

Only two books more until the end! ...more
