I just finished this novel, second in a series.\u00a0 The first book is Magic Bites.\u00a0 The third one will be out in March 2009.\u00a0 Ilona Andrews is a husband and wife team who are extremely talented.\u00a0 Magic Bites was their debut novel, and quite enjoyable.\u00a0 Kate Daniels, the heroine of the tale is a strong willed, do right kind of warrior living in a magic stricken Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Magic Bites was good, but Magic Burns was even better.\u00a0 Kate is hitting her stride, having to work out things in her life a whole lot harder than any of us face.\u00a0 Along the way, she picks up a teenage charge, keeps running into an arrow shooting pest who turns out to be charming and has a good heart.\u00a0 Throw in her ex-boyfriend and his new fiancee needing her help to get the blessing of the leader of the pack, Curran, who is powerful and dangerous, not to mention sexy.<\/p>\n

This novel isn’t for those who are looking for a little story with their romance.\u00a0 The romance is subtle, and the action outstanding.\u00a0 Kate is a heroine who isn’t a goody-two shoes, but does what she thinks is right.\u00a0 And she wasn’t born all powerful, she actually has learned and practiced to be as good as she is.\u00a0 And she still gets her tail kicked every now and again.\u00a0 She hides very powerful secrets, and I’m very excited that we don’t know them all already.\u00a0 The clues we’re seeing just lead us down path after path, looking for the next one.\u00a0 Who IS Kate Daniels?<\/p>\n

Andrews has done much research into mythology and legends.\u00a0 The players who show up in this series are well-written, scary and imaginative.\u00a0 While Urban Fantasy is a hot genre currently, the author has taken a few liberties with familiar creatures and changed them up, much to our enjoyment.<\/p>\n

There were many times when I had to ‘ewwww,’ or laugh outloud.\u00a0 I can hardly wait for the next one.\u00a0 This series rocks so far.\u00a0 Much kudos to Ilona Andrews.<\/p>\n

I’d have to rate this one a 4 and a half out of 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
