What a satisfying novella! So often, stories like these can fill like pure filler, but I really enjoyed this afternoon spent with Cady, Lon, Juke, and Kar Yee.It takes place just a couple of weeks after Summoning the Night. Lon and Cady have decided to take Juke out on a boat to test his new knack of persuasion.  Kar Yee agrees to be his guinea pig.  The captain is hiding something big.  Juke makes a pretty substantial mistake.  Throw in a major storm and a lightning strike and this group is facing an uphill battle to make it home alive.There are not a lot of big overall series storyline developments or relationship changes.  It’s just a great snapshot in the life of this growing family. And it’s an opportunity to showcase Jupe, who is so wonderfully imperfect yet entirely loveable.Be warned, it is short! And about 1/3 of my copy was an excerpt of Kindling the Moon & promo stuff, so don’t be disappointed or surprised when it’s over. You don’t have to read this one to follow with the series, but I can’t imagine that fans would want to skip.
