Magic Dreams is up there with my favorite novellas. I first read this in the Hexed anthology. If you love the Kate Daniels series I highly recommend it. Not that Kate is really in this one. This story is about Dali and Jim. I think it is better appreciated if you are caught up in the series to at least book 4. You can read it as a standalone, but I think I enjoyed it more because I'd read Magic Bleeds.We met Jim in book 1 - a fellow merc, he is one of the few people that Kate could grudgingly call a friend. He is also a werejaguar, the Alpha of Clan Cat, and the Pack's head of secuirty. We met Dali in book 3 - a weretiger who can't see well and faints at the sight of blood, Dali is a skilled magic user.This time around, Jim is in trouble and Dali is the one he turns to to break the spell he's under. There's a dragon, a very scary vengeful being, and a very smart girl kicking butt with her brain instead of a sword or killer martial arts moves. I liked that a lot.
