Review: Nice little read

I read this on smashwords (where it is free) because I loved the books in this series, and wanted to see if I found anymore out about either Ian or Laria.  This is about Ian and the weeks leading up to and including his murder.  It was a likable easy read.  But as someone who has read the series I learnt nothing new, most of it was a rehash of what you found out throughout the series, only this time it is from the perspective of Ian.  On a very positive note, Ian was written with a very different voice, so it did feel different from the series, which is told by the female lead Riley.  It was good to be able to read it and actually notice it had a different voice.The interesting bit I took from the novella is I would NOT want to read it before I had read the whole of the Mackinnon Curse series.  This is because you find out things in this novella that slowly present themselves throughout the whole series, and I just wonder if knowing some of this beforehand would spoil the series.  I recommend the series, its great, read it before this, then read this.Will I read it again? NoWould I recommend it? Sure, once you have read the others.
