Even though things are different, at times the story feels a lot like Kate’s story. The Pack is dealing with internal struggles and Atlanta is on the verge of an explosive melt down, creating the ideal setting for an exciting adventure. Some have faired well, others not as much. There is also time dedicated to catching up readers on the happenings of favorite characters. I found the reasons for Julie’s transformation fascinating, and thoroughly enjoyed learning more about her experiences and the woman she’s become.īlood Heir takes time to develop a new mythology and new big bad. Yet, she is kind-hearted and always puts the needs of others before her own. Unlike Kate, Julie embraces the magic of Kate’s lineage. She truly has become Kate’s daughter in so many ways, yet she is still her own person. With that said, the time away, the things she’s learned, the experiences she’s endured, they’ve all shaped her (literally) into a new woman. When I first started Blood Heir, I was heartbroken to learn that Julie has been gone for so much time. She’s returned to investigate a gruesome murder that is tied to saving Kate and Curran and in turn, the world. Now she’s returned to her hometown of Atlanta, but so much has changed, including her looks and magic, and she cannot let her parents know she’s in town or they will die. When she left eight years ago to follow her great aunt (whom she calls grandmother), she didn’t intend to be gone for so long. The story is shared from the point-of-view of Kate and Curran’s adopted daughter, Julie Olson, now known as Aurelia Ryder. For those familiar with the Kate Daniels series, Blood Heir begins roughly eight years after the conclusion of Kate’s series.
