As much as I enjoy reading about Kate, it is nice to have a different perspective into their world. Andrea is one of my favorite side characters. She is loyal, complex, and has a dark history. I love that she is the petite blond that can kick butt and shoot better than anyone else. I wasn't as much of a fan of Raphael until I saw him from Andrea's perspective. I think the two work well together.

The story itself has action, magic, and mythological creatures. It is a good edition the the story line, but would not stand on its own well.
