This book is another great example why Ilona Andrews is a wonderful author. This is Andrea Nash, beastkin extraordinaire and Kate Daniels' best friend's book.

Andrea is called upon by Jim to help on a case dealing with her ex-boyfriend's business, and in the process, deal with her own demons, as well as the issues with ex. Andrea runs across some interesting snakes, and a Russian volhv that has the hots for her.

Andrea struggles against who she is, and it's really fun watching her discover herself, and realize that she likes her true self. It's also fun to see the romance that is in there, and the sub-romance plot that makes its way into the story.

This book will not leave you disappointed. It takes place in the Kate Daniels world, but it stars Andrea, not Kate. Ilona Andrews once again plays on her readers' emotions, and we are all pulling for Andrea to succeed.

While you don't see a lot of Kate and Curran, they do make the occasional appearance, and this is Andrea's story anyways. This book could've turned out really awful, as some "spin-offs" have a tendency to do, but never fear, Ilona and Gordon once again pulled off a magnificent read. Oh, and when you pick up this book, either on Kindle/Nook, or in paperback, be sure to flip to the back and read Magic Gifts first, as it takes place before Gunmetal Magic.
