The Fantasy Books

Kate Daniels Series

by Andrews, Ilona

Description

Kate Daniels. Tough, smart, and wonderfully mouthy. She's a perennially down-on-her-luck mercenary who cleans up paranormal messes. She's a complete badass, wielding a sword called "Slayer," but remains compassionate and loving. The best part about her is that she's so unpredictable. Except her sarcasm. She's reliably sarcastic. Atlanta becomes home to the paranormal, replete with magic here. Andrews throws in everything from vampires and mages to a gnarly Beast Lord. I admit, the world building is a bit weak, and Magic Bites is not the best intro to what is an enjoyable series, it's merely a functional beginning. I mean, for some unexplained reason there's this pendulum swing between magic and technology and that's out of whack. That's all we get. But the sprightly dialogue, and above all lively characters more than keep it afloat. Sexual tension doesn't dominate the story, but gives it some spice, and the plot pace is propulsive and engaging.
