About the author

Ilona Andrews is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.)

Gordon and Ilona currently reside in Oregon with their two children, three dogs and a cat. They have co-authored two series, the bestselling urban fantasy of Kate Daniels and romantic urban fantasy of The Edge.

Kate goes on a date with Saiman.
Curran almost kills Saiman.
Saiman will never know how lucky he was.

Very very short trip inside Curran's head.

I love Curran so I always enjoy the chance to get inside his head. This is his POV from the Conclave in Magic Bleeds where he walks in to the meeting between the Pack and the People only to spot Kate in the restaurant with Saiman. If you've read Magic Bleeds you'll already know exactly how unhappy that makes him LOL. I have to admit this is probably my least favourite Curran POV, it doesn't really add much to the story and I would have liked it to be longer than it is but it's still a fun read and it's free so there really isn't anything to complain about!

This is what went on in Curran's head when he showed up for the Pack/People/etc. meeting at Bernard's, and saw Kate there with Saiman. HIGHLY entertaining.

[Cheesecake · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't know what this one adds to the series really.
It was pretty clear in the book what Curran was thinking during this scene, without rehashing his POV here.
It's the part where Curran goes to a meeting with the 'People' at a restaurant where Kate is playing guard disguised as date to an inebriated Siaman.
But it cuts short before the good stuff.

Angry and jealous Curran is making my dreams comes true.

Boy, that was intense! Saiman has no idea what was about to happen!
How close to death he was😱

Curran, will forever be a favourite🧡

I read this off the authors' website.

I forgot about this meeting. I really feel sorry for Curran at that moment. 4 stars.

[Kylee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extremely short glimpse into Curran’s thoughts when he saw Saiman & Kate together at Bernard’s.
Ahh how insecure both Kate & Curran were about how they thought the other felt.

[Sandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

(Magic Bleeds) - I mean ok YES I love seeing the interaction at Bernards but how you not gonna finish the scene and give us the chase and first fuck?!? *sad face*

[Antonella · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short, and my least favorite scene was when Curran and Kate met while she went on a "date" with Saiman.



probably my least favorite of all the shorts
but still good because it is Kate Daniels is my queen, I love her and this series is the best!!!


BEST SERIES EVER!!!

[Netanella · Rating 3 out of 5]

The scene at the fancy dinner club where a dressed up Kate and a drunken Samain encounter Curran and the shapeshifters and Samain shows his ass. I forgot what an idjit he was in this book. Curran, of course, is awesome. Way too short.

[Darcy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one was so much fun! The restraint that Curran showed was so good!

[Mel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't believe I've read this particular scene from Curran's POV and while Conclave was appreciated, I wish we had gotten more. And by more, I mean all of that stuff that happened after Saiman, Kate, and Curran left Bernard's. It would've been nice to see what hunting Saiman was like through Curran's eyes.

If you're interested in the Curran POV Collection, it's a free read and can be found here: http://www.ilona-andrews.com/curran-p...

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is too short. I would like to see Curran seethes through the meeting, and what happen in his head when he is finally free from his obligation.

Well, it is still a bonus to see what Curran really thinks of the People, and what he wishes he could do to them.

[June · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Leadership means doing what you know is the right thing. In my experience, it is rarely involves doing what you want or like."

More of a 3.5, but like the leadership quote so rounded up. Saiman nearly dies.

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Basic Plot: Curran's POV of the evening where Kate was out with Saiman and ran into Curran.

Very short, but interesting glimpse inside Curran's head during a very tense scene from the book. It's always worthwhile to get into Curran's head.

[Jennifer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hm...he's still not growing on me. Maybe I'm just weird.

[Maraya21 (The Reading Dragon) · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 Stars

[Dolores Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was one of my favorite scenes of this book. I just wish it extended to when Saimon dropped her off

[Katyana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Curran seeing Saiman with Kate at the Conclave

[Steph · Rating 4 out of 5]

(Read as part of Curran Parts 1-2)

[TinaMarie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This snippet is at the restaurant, Curran's point of view when he sees Kate with Saiman. It was way too short I definitely would have liked his side of the story for the rest of that evening.

[Tricia · Rating 4 out of 5]

an unbreakable facade breaks....

[Yoryi (Por amor a los libros) · Rating 2 out of 5]

De todos los pov de Curran que leí hasta ah o era este es el menos interesante.

[K D · Rating 4 out of 5]

For completists only.
Another one I wish I had read at the right point in time.

[Jessica Reads It · Rating 4 out of 5]

You could cut the tension with a knife during this scene.

[Kk · Rating 4 out of 5]

So this is what Curran thinks about when he gets jealous!

[Ashley Tyler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jealous makes the heart grow fonder Curran!

[Zen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Out of all the Curran POV shorts, this one is my !easy favorite. I still liked it, but I didn't feel like it added much.

[Merideth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing
