My Rating: 4.5 stars: Loved it - enthusiastically recommend (A)Devil's Luck is the story of reckless Disillusionist Simon and high-cap prognosticator Fawna. It takes place shortly after the conclusion of the trilogy (Head Rush: The Disillusionists Trilogy, Book 3). Fawna is tired of feeling trapped by the future - she lets her abilities control her - always looking for the horror found in the future. She is repelled yet drawn to Simon's carefree and fool-hardy nature. Likewise, Simon does not like what Fawna stands for. He runs from fate, believing the more irresponsible he behaves, the longer he will survive life. The story is told from the alternating POVs of Simon and Fawna.This truly is a story written for fans of this amazing series, and a new-comer should not read this first. However, one could read it as a stand alone - but really... do yourself a favor and read the series!And all I have to say is what a wonderful novella from Ms. Crane! It is a real treat for Disillusionists series fans. After following the somewhat mysterious Simon for three books, we finally get to see the world from his own unique POV. Ms. Crane does an amazing job of sharing Simon's special outlook on life, never damaging his "street cred" as the man who has abandoned all of society's norms. He remains true to himself while learning to love.This novella is full of heart--the story full of promise. I, for one, hope Ms. Crane revisits this amazing world again.
