Peri and Jack have just returned from a mission to steal
some very valuable technology when joking around, Jack
summons Rachel Morgan. Realizing that she is not in her
world Rachel must find a way to get home. Peri at first
thinks Rachel is a crazy thief until things make her believe
Rachel and they work together to get her back home. Even
Jenks is able to jump a dead ley line and help Rachel.
Being a big fan of The Hollows series, it's nice to get a
Rachel Morgan story, even if it is a short one. Also, seeing
how Kim Harrison was able to bring together her two very
separate worlds is fascinating and well done.
Kim Harrison describes it best as fan fiction done by her
and she
is absolutely correct. The two worlds mesh together well
and the characters of Peri and Rachel with Jenks help make a
great trio. WAYLAID is for fans of Kim Harrison and both her
series.
Not to mention just a little bit that's thrown in of
Rachel's world makes you happy to see she is doing well.
There are also some small hints telling you where the
future is going to lead Peri, if only she can remember.
WAYLAID is short story writing at its best. You get the best
of two worlds, more wonderful details on one you loved, more
introduction and temptation into one you are going to love.
