RRP: £6.99 Pages: 260 Fantasy Fiction Paperback
This is the first time that I have read an Ilona Andrews novel, but it won't be the last! She has captured the essence of fantasy fiction this edgy, dark story. Yet, with the right amount of humour injected too. I ended this book wanting to read the sequel which, thankfully for me, is already out in the shops (Magic Bites)! It was fast-paced and easy to read with entertaining plot twists and also just the right mixtures of humour/romance/action/gore!
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 mercernary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. 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.
The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizarre killings - and the death of Kate's guardian may be part of the same mystery. Pressured by both sides to find the killer, Kate realises she's way out of her league - but she wouldn't have it any other way!
Rating - 10 out of 10! The new sequel is finding its way to me now!
