KATE DANIELS is unquestionably my #1 favorite. For example, if you asked me what my second favorite series was, I'd have to give you a top 5 list.

Can't wait to read the next book! And the one after that, and the one after that.ĥ/5/18: Still love it (if that wasn’t evident by virtue of having read it SIX times). I have a hit-or-miss track record with most urban fantasy books that I've tried, but I think Kate and I are going to get along just fine. She kicks serious ass, with or without magic.

Exhausted, hurt, bleeding, and hungry, she'll still stop eating when she thinks someone else is being slighted.ĩ. She has a huge amount of decency and integrity.

But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta’s magic circles. Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake. When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. Ilona Andrews invites you to experience the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring the intriguing fantasy world of mercenary Kate Daniels…
