Description

When magic is up, electricity dies, cars stall, and skyscrapers tumble; when it's down, phones and guns work, and defensive spells can't protect your house from the creatures who stalk the streets. Equally dangerous are the competing factions of The Pack - a highly organized and military clan who governs Atlanta's were-bears, -wolves, and -hyenas - versus the Masters of the Dead, power and knowledge-hungry necromancers whose minds control hordes of blood-crazed vampires.

This is home to Kate Daniels, a mercenary who investigates when things get out of hand. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. But when her guardian is murdered, she must choose between doing nothing and staying safe, or pursuing the dangerous entity who killed him. Kate is way out of her league; but who ever said the right choice was easy?

Surprising

3.5 stars

Hey, a female protagonist in a supernatural fiction who doesn't solely exist to be ~not like other girls?~ I'll take it! It's not quite as Buffy as it wants to be, but the writing is easy to read, the plot is pretty organised, there's no obnoxious love triangle bullshit. There's one part where Kate Daniels gets all dressed up and does that thing where she talks about how she's never been able to gain weight that isn't muscle, but her waist is SO NARROW but at least she can still run, right?? HAHA and that part was cloying, but I'm interested in the universe and I'll pick up the next one for sure.

Give the series a chance

I am reviewing this after having read the whole series. I must have picked up and put down Magic Bites a couple of times as it just didn't catch my interest. I keep hearing such great things about it though that I kept trying. Finally a year or two later I had it when I had no other books to pull my attention away and I am glad I kept at it. This turned out to be an AMAZING series, that I totally loved and mourn the conclusion of the series. By the end of the book it had my interest and book 2 and the rest I couldn't read fast enough (the only positive of my procrastination is that all books were out by the time I got into them) and fell in love with all the characters. if you are struggling with this book as I was, trust me. it gets WAY better.

Ilona Andrews writing style flows so smoothly and their world building is amazing. I have now read everything I could get my hands on by this wonderful husband/wife writing duo. Rene Raudman does a wonderful job as the narrator and I am glad she continues to voice the rest of the series.

Vamps, Shapeshifters and a snarky main character

This book does a great job of world building, creating its own unique vibe.
Kate our main protagonist is a snarky and sarcastic badass and I appreciate the boldness. Of her character.
The creatures are well thought out and rather creative.
The narrator took some time to get used to for myself - about halfway through the book I found I was finally able to appreciate her reading style.

A neat action packed fantasy mystery - i would definitely recommend to someone who is a fan of vamps, were-animals and the sort!

50 Shades of Grey meets generic Urban Fantasy

This whole series starts with an interesting world and premise, but it fast starts veering into cheesy falling for the bad boy romance, with full on erotica type scenes fleshed out for no storytelling reason. - this review is more about the series so far than this book alone, as, when I finally called it quits (couldn’t get through it) halfway through book 4 the romance had taken a back seat a bit in favor of the plot, but the plot of that book was the worst one so far so it just finished killing any interest I had. I just couldn’t bring myself to care if she killed her dad or not. This reads to me like fan fiction - 50 shades of grey type stuff disguised as urban fantasy. Hard pass for me. Have no idea why so many people rate it so highly, perhaps I’m one of the very few people who read it not knowing what he was getting into. Bottom line, if you like 50 Shades of Grey type soft-core/romance stuff with girls with “I’ll fix him” delusions falling for abusive assholes, and like urban fantasy, you’ll love this series. Otherwise, move along FAST.

I Love Kate Daniels and Anything by Ilona Andrews

Great world building, good plot, awesome characters, great mystery. Grisly and a bit dark. Some words were pronounced interestingly, but overall it was great.

book 1 of Kate Daniels

Magic Bites

     Ilona Andrews is the name of a husband and wife writing team. Who have many books out now. I never thought I would get into what I will refer to as a fluff series. Stories involving mostly a romantic relationship with some kind of mythical creature, like a vampire or werewolf...etc. however it happened.

     I believe the combination of femininity and masculinity give these book's a little more vadilit. As opposed to a writer of 1 sex. It is sometimes hard for a man to write a good female character. Likewise it can be sometimes hard for a woman to write a good male character 

    This married couple have worked together to create a few series I have come to enjoy. Magic Bites is the beginning of the Kate Daniels series. 

    Kate is basically your bad assassin paid to hunt down supernatural monsters. In a world that shifts with devastating effects from technology to magic. Where sometimes magic works and other times technology works. She also has a secret she must keep hidden in her blood. 

     After the death of her mentor. Kate puts herself in the investigation. Finding herself dealing with the 2 major supernatural groups in magic ravished Atlanta. The People who are necromancers who pilot mindless vampires and run the local casino and The Pact. A group of various lycampthrops run by the beast lord, Curran.

     Kate teams up with Curran and the Pact. Battling an enemy who was trying to pit the People and the Pact into a war. Together fighting off supernatural horror's with guns, blade's, claws, jaws and magic. 

     As you may know, dearest reader's, I am dyslexic and prefer audiobooks. So I have a great respect for the narrator's who can do a very good job in transporting the lister into the author's world.

   Renee Raudman is one such narrator. Able to draw me in using affliction, accents, tones to all the characters. Allowing each individual to be easily identified. She also has an ability to reflect the emotions of the moment. Sometimes I find my heart racing or breaking depending on the moment. With every book Renèe gets better and better. I count her as one of my top 10 favorite audiobook actors. I am definitely a fan of the husband, wife writing team. Truly enamored by Renèes performance.

    As ever and always. My deepest thanks to all involved in the creation, production, distribution, and supporting both written and audiobook format. You help make life better.

Yours ever,
David Evil Midknight
