Bladed Magic is a prequel to the Colbaba Files series by JC Daniels following Kit Colbana and her investigations.Bladed Magic tells the story of how TJ introduced Kit to Justin, the freelance witch that got her started into the world of investigations. He finds her picture at one of his crime scenes and knows she can help bring down the child molester he's chasing, if he can convince her to try.Kit, for her part, gives Justin the info he needs. But it's not her skills at research that close the case, it's her gut instinct. And that's how Kit and Justin met, previously to the events in Blade Song, which is book one.This book really tells the story of Kit's first case. I wasn't too sure when I read the first novella in this series. The thought of rats freaked me out a bit, but this book didn't get me freaked out at all.This book begins with Kit working at TJ's as a bartender. She comes upon a fight in the alley and using her skills, she helps a witch named Justin. Kit seems to have more than one skill going for her and even though she was basically disowned by her family, after drifting, she seems to have found a place and some new friends. They have taken her under their wing. Kit gets these twitchy feelings that something is wrong. Justin, who is a freelance witch, comes back into her world and asks for a favor to help him with a situation. Kit agrees and she goes off with Justin. Kit has grit and determination and she wants to do things her way. Actually ended up really enjoying this short novella.4 stars
