Review! Magic Bites, Kate Daniels #1 by Ilona Andrews

Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up paranormal problems. Atlanta has two factions struggling for power. Masters of the Dead are necromancers who control vampires. The Pack are a paramilitary clan of shapechangers. When Kate's guardian is killed, she is caught between.

My Review ...
An Atlanta decimated by magic. Creatures we’ve only read about in books come out to play and a future unlike anyone could have predicted. 

Kate is a mercenary and her job is to help people deal with the consequences of a magic weave, meaning helping them get rid of whatever creatures were left behind in their back yard when the magic retreats and technology is back up again. 

It’s not much but it works for her because Kate has to blend in and always take care not to leave traces. She has a secret that no one can imagine and, if that secret gets out, it will bring total destruction. 

But one day, the only person she ever cared about after losing her father, ends up dead and she’ll have to join forces with the shape shifters to unearth the ones who did it. 

One meeting with the Beast Lord of Atlanta and her life will change forever. 

Curran is used to always have his orders obeyed and he’s arrogant as hell but Kate has no intentions of doing so. In fact, she challenges him every step of the way and does her best to drive him to violence. 

When they’re not fantasizing about tearing each other’s clothes off, they’re ready to kill one another. 

But between one fight and another, they’ll have to find this assassin who, if not stopped, will create more chaos than anyone can deal with. 

Prepare yourselves for the ride of your lives in a world where magic rules, your worst nightmares may become reality anytime and the only hope comes from a rebel woman with a deadly secret and a pack of shape shifters who seem insane most of the time. 

Sounds like fun, huh? You can’t even imagine. 

Gordon and Ilona Andrews sure know how to write a story. When I wasn’t on the edge of my seat, holding my breath and trying to read faster and find out what happens next, I was laughing hysterically at Kate and Curran’s antics. I highly recommend this series. Seven books in and I’m far from getting bored. On the contrary. 

Happy Reading!

Ilona Andrews is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. author2sm“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.
