Recommendation: OH GODS YES!!
My Thoughts and Summary:
Oh it's wonderful reading Curran's view. He's such a perfect match for Kate it's unreal. I love Curran's banter with Kate. He has me constant smiling while reading them again, and from Curran's POV, just as brilliant.
This is definitely a collection to read AFTER the books. It's wonderful to go back and read these and remember. Actually, it makes me want to go back and re-read the series as I loved it that much.
Each book has a Curran view here:
Magic Bites:
When Curran first meets Kate in Unicorn Lane. He knew some of Kate from Jim, as Jim works with her and strange as he's a cat and works alone or with a few from Pack.
I still full smile at the "Kitty, kitty, kitty" call from Kate. And Curran's reaction! LOL! This is the Beast Lords first impression of Kate.
Magic Burns:
When Curran brought Kate to the South East office to be healed, from slashes on her back and the poison.
Curran seems to realize his feelings and knows Exactly what he was doing with the soup. These two are a pair!
Magic Strikes:
Curran pieces together why key members of his pack have gone rogue and who's at the lead while in the Loupe cage.
Oh what Curran calls Kate! LOLOL! He always has choice words in his mind about his love. But we get to see Curran's chat with Julie before she lets him out. Gods that girl is quick, smart and so good. I do love her. Curran sees the alpha in Kate and notes it to himself here.
Magic Bleeds:
The meeting of Alphas and The People when Curran sees Kate all dolled up...and with Saiman.
Oh, oh, oh! I was hoping for this POV from Curran. That is all I can say. But this is the thoughts running through his head at that moment, before he gets called back to the meeting.
Then there is a teaser of the first chapter for Magic Strikes here as well.

Series: 2nd in Curran POV, and Kate Daniels Series: Magic Bites, Magic Burns, Magic Strikes, Magic Bleeds, Magic Slays; Curran POV 3 & 4
Recommendation: OH HELL! Read it. And learn what happens between Curran and Mohan.
My Thoughts and Summary:
Curran wakes from his two week coma to Kate at his side and to hear another has come to challenge her. He has other plans and goes to the Alpha Pack Council meeting. Then Curran tells Mohan, his adoptive father, to stay. Curran knows this is it, they need to have this out about Kate now.
This is why Curran is THE Beast Lord. Right up front. This is not the banter and fun witted man we see with Kate. This is the Beast Lord taking control of the Pack and the way things will go, his way.
In this one we get more. We get Curran and Mahon. I always wondered where he disappeared too after being known he didn't much care for Kate as Curran's mate. This will settle that.
There is fun, but The Beast Lord makes his presence known, and there is fighting to please all.
You can find both these ebooks for free on Ilona Andrews site.
**I read these for my own enjoyment.
