Review: Nice follow-up story to Keegan's Chronicles
Rating: 4 out of 5

I enjoyed the novella from Rourk's perspective- this is a continuation of the Keegan's Chronicles series. I really enjoy this unique series about an elf family and community as well as a cast of paranormal friends. I really get drawn in to the stories and the characters as Ms Crane paints the story well. Though the story is well written I thought the story was too quick. Everything seemed to happen very quickly. I would have liked more time spent on the characters interactions with each other and maybe more suspense leading up to the d'jinn's taking of Keegan and especially the search for Keegan. They started the search and then suddenly Rourk was there and I had to go back and re-read how Rourk got to her. The time spent with Rourk and his troop in Afghanistan was well written as if Miss Crane had done her homework on military talk. It helped create a vivid picture of Rourk's military mission and showed his friendship with his troop."Rourk" can be read as a stand alone novel but I would definitely recommend reading the other books in the series first. This book doesn't really give enough background nor warming up to get to know each character so unless you've read the series I don't think readers will enjoy it as much to care about what is happening with the characters. Overall a good story- I would recommend it to the already faithful readers of the Keegan's Chronicles series. If you haven't read the first books in the series. Go read them then come back to this book. Best to read the books in order. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more in the series which I'm sure there will be more of and  I'm looking forward especially to see how Keegan's brother, Thaddeus, develops, finds his mate, and saves the world with his powers. And of course more from the new characters that appear at the end of the story.
