Publisher's summary

An irresistible compilation of five previously published stories by the NYT bestselling author of the Kate Daniels series; including Kate’s very first meeting with Saiman, some related adventures, two unforgettable “outside” excursions, and additional material from both Curran and Jim’s point of view.

A QUESTIONABLE CLIENT

In this ‘intro’ to the Kate Daniels world, we meet the extremely ‘shifty’ Saiman for the very first time, when Kate takes on the task of serving as his bodyguard to protect him from some very determined—and dangerous—Russian wizards.

RETRIBUTION CLAUSE

Saiman’s cousin, Adam—a frost giant and also an insurance adjuster—and his enigmatic partner, Siroun, set out on an impossible mission to enforce a client’s Retribution Clause; that is, to kill the person who killed her. But is their target even guilty? Magic and mayhem and a little personal chemistry will reveal the truth!

OF SWINE AND ROSES

A young adult story about a girl, a pig, some magic, and the worst date ever.

Chad Thurman is a thug, who carries brass knuckles in both pockets and lays magic traps for intruders into "his" neighborhood. The last thing Alena Kornov wants to do is to go on a date with him. But when her family pressures her, she can't say no. Now the ice-cream is absent, the pig is running for its life, and we won't even mention the dead guy...

GRACE OF SMALL MAGICS

Grace has always known she wasn’t like everyone else and that her family has magic abilities. After flying to meet the head of Clan Dreoch in order to fulfill her families’ “duties” as servants, Grace finds herself in the middle of a mage clan war…

MAGIC TESTS

A short story in the Kate Daniels universe. Kate recruits her teenage ward, Julie, to search out a missing student whose location spell has her hidden somewhere on campus…

CURRAN POV

Everybody has a point of view…especially Curran Lennart, Beast Lord of the Free People of Atlanta—and Kate Daniel’s mate. Here’s what Curran was thinking while Kate was kicking butt and taking names from Magic Bites to Magic Bleeds.

Thanks for the memories

Most of the stories were new to me. Associating them with the book they delt with helped bring back the novel and story

Long live Kate and Curran!

This audio took me back to some of the best moments in this series. It made me nostalgic and it looks like I’ll be relistening to the whole series again.

Wonderful.

Such amazing world creation full of characters I could never have conceived. So much fun reading these stories that are small bits of this wild world. These stories all come from the Kate Daniels world by Ilona Andrews. Urban fantasy at its best. No lie.
Hillary Huber and Michael Glenn do their usual outstanding narrations.

A trip down memory lane....

4.5 Stars

A really nice collection of short stories/novellas that gave me the opportunity to jump back into a world that I have loved so dearly in the past. Not all were from the Kate and Curran world, but many of them were.

I already reviewed most of them individually so this review was to just give an overall mention on the book as a whole.

Just a quick word of warning. Some of these are not new. They have been in other anthologies, possibly on their website or maybe in an email newsletter. This is mentioned though on the description, but just reiterating it again just in case.

Honestly though, I fell in love with Kate and Curran so many years ago and have been a fan for a very long time. There was a bit of nostalgia just going back and reading these because I am not a person who rereads books (well, I have done it on occasion, but it is very, very rare). I live by the philosophy that there are too many books with much too little time....but I digress....

I will say this - any time the Ilona Andrews duo wants to put out more short stories, I will continue to click the buy button. For me, it is a no brainer....

Fantastic potpourri of stories!

I read Small Magics loooong time ago, but this audio edition, with the POV bonuses is simply fantastic! Cannot praise enough both narrators -Hilary and Michael- they really bring our favourite characters to life!

I blame the producers

I will start by saying the writing is great as always. there is some overlap, and rehashing but from different points of view, but all in all it's good backstory and gap filler. i will also say the narrators do as good a job as can be expected considering the lazy ass producers. on to the negative, again the production lacks. This book suffers from the same bad decisions as The Wilmington years short stories. I know Audible knows how to produce audiobooks with dual narrators they do it for other authors. so why do they continuously screw this up for such a prolific author??? When you have dual narrators the guy does all the guy voices the female does all the female voices, and you pick one of them to do ALL of the inbetween narration. These yahoos have both narrators doing ALL the voices ALL the time and it's just sloppy. you end up with two completely different voices for each character and its just freaking stupid. It chaps my ass to have such good writing destroyed by such lazy production. I really hope they figure things out as they start producing full books again.
