When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake. Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercen...
I've rounded up the rating. The reason is that I know I am jaded, very jaded, about the current crop of Urban Fantasy novels, and this feeling influences me when I read them.I'm torn about this book. There is much to like and much, sadly, to give one pause. Since I always tell my students to end ...
Set in a nearly-this-universe but where tech and magic take turns being in charge, magic is back on top - but it comes and goes in waves and depending which is on top, neither magic nor tech are totally reliable. With the usual suspects of wizards and witches, vampires and shapeshifters. Not your us...
I'd heard so many positives about this series I was worried my expectations were too high and it would be a letdown. By the end of the book, that feeling wasn't anywhere near my emotional state. Rather than talk about the details of the story, I'm focusing on the essence of it and certain elements...
Started out a tick slow but kicked into gear about 1/3 of the way through and never looked back. Completely loved it. I especially love the world-building -- the magic v. tech waves and the futuristic, almost post apocalyptic, dystopian feel of the time. And since in the paranormal universe I a...
Kate Daniels is a mercenary for the Guild. She’s having a bit of trouble making ends meet when she gets a visit suggesting that she get in contact with her guardian. But when she tries she gets stonewalled. And then she finds out he’s dead, killed by an apparently unknown magical being. Now Kate’s o...
I'd been putting this book off for a while because a lot of people compared Kate to Anita Blake and I didn't think I could handle dealing with another emotionally crippled main character, even if she was a bad ass. While I agree that there are a lot of similarities between the two (ass kickery, gros...
3.5 ish. I’m going to admit that I put off reading this based solely on the cover for a long time. I saw the lion and thought, shades of Narnia, no thanks, I’ll pass. But, I was assured that couldn’t be further from the truth and was talked into reading it. So thanks to all those who peer pressure...
An unusually inventive urban fantasy world. Readthrough 2: My husband decided he wanted to read the series. Since it's become one of my favorites it wasn't hard to convince me to give it another shot! For some reason I didn't like Magic Bites as much as I liked the later ones. It was still excellent...
