Kate, Curran and their son, Conlan have left Atlanta, vowing to keep a low profile, and are settling into a new city and new house…but some things never change! Magical mayhem is about to erupt when Kate undertakes the rescue of a kidnapped youth, while Curran guards the homefront.
It should be a simple retrieval, but with monsters on land and sea, Kate’s got her work cut out for her. Still, she's never let her blade dull or her purpose falter. And that low profile? It’s about to wash away with the raging tides!
Magic Tides has a big change in scenery from other Kate Daniels novels, and it’s fun to see Kate trying to fit in…
Magic Tides starts with Kate having a meeting with someone from Conlan’s school. And Kate is not necessarily a happy camper. It’s clear from the beginning that fitting in might not be in the cards for our little family. Then again, did anyone actually believe that was going to happen?
I loved how the action started straight away in Magic Tides. And this time, Conlan was kind of the instigator, and Curran needed to have a stern conversation with him about that. The novel was filled with action, new and old characters, the strong bonds between Kate and Curran – and between them and Conlan.
I loved how Kate is still the same Kate I fell in love with Magic Bites. Of course, she has gained a lot of experience, but at the core, she’s still intrinsically her. With her strong moral values, and need to help those who can’t always help themselves. Magic Tides is the first in the Wilmington spin-off, and I can’t wait to see what else will happen. And also, how this might change the relationship with the pack.
