This review and others can be found on my blog.I received a copy of this book for free in return for my honest review, through the Never Too Old For Y.A. Books Group on Goodreads. However, I received a copy of the book directly from the author's publisher.In this novella or episode you are introduced to Kat. She lives in South Charleston and works as a pathologist. She hasn't been feeling well lately, so she sneaks a peak at her own blood-work. What she finds isn't normal, but then again she has a bunch of other strange quirks. What does this mean? Well, for Kat her strange blood work just might be the ticket to moving up in her organization with a great job offer in New York.In the beginning and the end of this novella, you are also briefly introduced to Amarok. A man who has been secretly keeping an eye on Kat all these years to keep her safe. He thinks she is the one they have been waiting for to save them and bring about peace.I have to say, I am intrigued about both of these characters. I have read a few different novella/episode types of books and this is a pretty good start to one. You get to see what Kat's current world is all about, her family, her job, her friend, etc...You know a little bit less about Amarok and his family, but you do get a glimpse and I'm sure there will be more in the upcoming episodes.Even within this short novella a fair amount of the mythology is revealed to the reader while still leaving plenty of mystery for the future episodes. You don't fully know what's going on, but want to know more. I look forward to reading more episodes of this story.
