Magic Bites

Here's the official summary:

Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren’t for magic… One moment magic dominates, and cars stall and guns fail. The next, technology takes over and the defensive spells no longer protect your house from monsters. Here skyscrapers topple under onslaught of magic; werebears and werehyenas prowl through the ruined streets; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their thirst of knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with their minds. In this world lives Kate Daniels. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood makes her a target, and she spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, she must choose to do nothing and remain safe or to pursue his preternatural killer. Hiding is easy, but the right choice is rarely easy…

Review

 Ilona Andrews, a pseudonymous moniker for the husband-and-wife writing duo of Andrew and Ilona Gordon. The underlying tone of this story is dark, gritty, and atmospheric and the world is complex. Andrews offers readers a fresh take on vampires, magic and the supernatural elements are unique. I fell in love with Kate Daniels character from the start and I find Curran to be extremely fascinating. My only issue with the book is the writing style. It is a bit rough and does not flow in some spots. This may be due to the co-authors combining their writing styles together.  

Magic Bites is a promising start to a brilliant series and look forward to reading the next book, Magic Strikes.

 I gave this book 3.5 out of 5
