Wow I haven't gone through a series so fast in a very long time. The characters and the stories are absolutely addicting. Kate Daniels has officially moved to the top of my favorite heroine list. I especially adore the developing relationship between Kate and the Pack members; I love to see the t...
I don't even know what to say. This book was completely amazing. I gave it a full 5 stars, if I could give it more stars. I laughed, I cried, I freaked out, I scoffed, and I had a great time. There were so many feelings, Its what sets it apart from mediocre books. I love this book so much. I did...
So far this is the only Kate Daniels book that I could not get into... Too many characters coming in and out, too my different story lines going in and out and the story was agonizingly slow...And I could do without the Curran/ Kate romance. It has always seemed too forced and Kate and Curran's c...
I absolutely LOVED Magic Rises. Easily my favorite of the series. Perhaps it was the adventure on the seas (yes, I have a secret love pirate stories), likely it was that Curran and Kate were together and interacted quite a bit in this story, probably due in part to Hugh and Curran and the jealous...
Awwwww I love this! Andrea's childhood was heart-braking and I completely understood why she did what she did, but I also understood Raphael's point of view; to be honest I would have done the same thing that Raphael did at the start of the book - but then I am glad he got his ass whooped by Andr...
My capacity for inhaling huge amounts of classy trash never ceases to amaze me. In the past week I've read eight of these mother-effers, which kinda cuts into having a real life. It does not escape my attention that one of the Goodreads readers I admire most (Stela) will have chomped through an I...
I really enjoyed this installment. Without giving away spoilers I really thought this was the best way to deal with the eventual confontation between Kate and Roland without employing some kind of deus ex machina or rewriting some of the backstory. Also I think we got a hint about where the ser...
Kate Daniels und ihr Geliebter, der Gestaltwandler Curran, sehnen sich nur nach einer einzigen Sache: ein einfaches Date in einem ganz normalen Restaurant. Doch nichts in ihrem Leben ist jemals einfach, geschweige denn normal. Zunächst stirbt jemand am Nebentisch, dann fallen abtrünnige Vampire ü...
Okay, so I thought my problem with the second boot in The Edge series was the shift in title characters, but after having read the third, that's not the case. I guess the case is the main couple didn't work for me - I never really felt their chemistry and there were no *real* obstacles standing ...
Angel's Wolf, Nalini Singh: I've read several novellas in the Guild Hunter world, plus the first novel and I think this story may have convinced me to put the rest of them on my TBR list. Adding cute cats (sob!) didn't hurt either.Nocturne, Sharon Shin: I hadn't read anything of hers before but w...
Gaaaah!!! So. Much. Awesome. I can't even...!!!I'm loving reading these novellas! I thoroughly enjoy getting to focus more on the other characters in the main books. I totally love reading their POVs. This was an amazing one!!! Dali plays a big role in the third book, but then we don't see much o...
I literally can't get enough of this series. This was well done, as always, with a perfect balance of magic and myth with badassery, plus just the right amount of intertwine with Gunmetal Magic. If I thought that it would dive off the cliff once our fearless heroine officially teamed up with Curr...
This novella came for fee with my Kindle version of Gunmetal Magic, and shorts are usually not my thing, except when they offer extra insight on a serie that I love, and MG certainly did not disappoined in that department.What makes this special is that the short story centers on the main charact...
Another great book in the series and this one is almost two times longer than previous installment. Can't say these two books are very related - they will be good without one another as well (we see Meli and her husband only briefly towards the end). So this one is about a soldier. And not just a...
This short story is GOLD! If I'm ever feeling down or tired I just whip it up for a good laugh. It has all my favorite things: strong female protagonist; powerful, but also very nice, guy; Honest, straightforward thoughts and conversations; imperfect but endearing characters. It's the definition ...
I must admit that I started this book with high expectations, definitely because the first three books of this series were all increasingly spectacular as the story progressed.To me, this book seemed a little less exciting and slightly meandering, what with the time skip and explosive introductio...
Reread Decemeber 12, 2014: ZOMG! This book is SO good! I love it! Kate and Curran are such badasses in the tournament. Sigh. I love this series so much.Originally Read July 4, 2013: Guys, this book is urban fantasy meets gladiator and... It. Is. Awesome.I can't even put into words how wonderful t...
Reread December 12, 2014: So many things happen in this book that are game changers for the entire series. It didn't fully hit me until I was rereading this just how much changed. Having already read all the books are out, I can say that these game changers are part of why this series is so darn ...
The Kate Daniels Magic Series of books by by Ilona Andrews (a husband-wife writing team) are incredible. It is a captivating series about Kate Daniels, a mercenary who helps to clean up messes caused by magic in a post-apocalyptic Atlanta. Kate is tough as nails with a sarcastic streak, but vulne...
Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews is the fifth story in the Kate Daniels Magic series. It is a captivating series written by a husband & wife team about Kate Daniels, a mercenary who helps to clean up messes caused by magic in a post-apocalyptic Atlanta. Kate is tough as nails with a sarcastic streak,...
The Kate Daniels' series is one of my favorites. It's nice to have a series where each novel is satisfying, but even more, the entire series has a story arc of its own. I've enjoyed watching Kate and Curran's relationship grow stronger and deeper. Curran was awesome in this novel! The charact...
Yayyyyyyy, finally the book I was waiting for! I really enjoyed this book, think it may actually be my new favourite in this series! Had more Curran and Kate action in it ... authors made me feel for the characters and I hated Loreilei on Kates behalf. Cant believe some of the things Curran did, ...
Being a huge fan of the Kate Daniels series I was interested in reading this short story. I knew that it would be nothing like the Kate Daniels books but I still enjoyed it. I like science fiction but don’t really read much of it so this was a good story to find.The story was not really what I ...
I "bought" this on Smashwords. It was free. I mainly chose it because of the beautiful cover.I sort of liked this story. It had an interesting premise and some interesting portions within it. My main problem is that I didn't find it interesting enough to follow it completely. I found my attention...
Eigentlich hatte die Hochstaplerin Audrey Callahan ihrem kriminellen Dasein endgültig abgeschworen. Doch als ihr Bruder mal wieder in die Entzugsklinik muss. Erklärt sie sich bereit, einen allerletzten Diebstahl zu begehen. Dass das keine gute Idee war, zeigt sich, als kurze Zeit später der zwiel...
3.5 starsLet me start by saying my rating and review only relate to the Alphas: Origins story by Ilona Andrews. That was the main reason I got the anthology from the library and while I do enjoy the Nalini Singh Archangel series, I just wasn't all that interested in reading about Noel. One of the...
I love, love, love this series. This is the 4th and final book (according to the authors). This one features Richard Mar - brother to Kaldar from book 3 - and Charlotte, a gifted healer who fled from the Weird to the Edge after a disastrous marriage. They are going after slavers discussed in book...
Another wonderful story from Kate Daniels’ world this time featuring Andrea and Raphael. While this may be a novella it’s big on importance in the whole scheme of past and future books. It’s hard for me to find a paranormal series that is as consistently entertaining as this one has been for me. ...
The star rating given reflects my opinion within ‘the official goodreads rating system’.1 star: Didn’t Like it2 stars: It’s Okay3 stars: Liked it4 stars: Really Liked it5 stars: It Was AmazingI don’t really give a rat-fuck that there are some who think I ‘owe’ an explanation for my op...
3 1/2 stars. I liked this, right down to the distant members of the extended family. They're a cute couple and the whole thing is quite adorable. It really is just a lot of fun and William getting the hang of having a family (made of awesome) is what makes this. And that's probably why it's 3 sta...
Reread on December 12, 2014: 4.5/5 Stars. I love how this novella is from Andrea's POV. She's a BAMF and I liked getting to know her more. Also, Raphael is hilarious.Originally Read on July 10, 2013: This was a lovely novella set between books 3 and 4. To be honest, I wish I had read this before ...
I recently re-read A Questionable Client in preparation for the new Kate Daniels novel. The questionable client in question is, naturally, Saiman, and this novella describes their first meeting. Saiman has been a bad, bad boy and stolen something precious from a group of Russian Volvhs. Something...
Overall, I really liked this book. I found the characters of Cerise and William interesting and sympathetic, and their love story believable. Their banter made me chuckle quite a few times, and I always love it when a book can make me laugh. Also, I thought it was interesting to read a story wher...
Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren’t for the magic… 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 par...
Down in Atlanta, tempers – and temperatures – are about to flare…As a mercenary who cleans up after magic gone wrong, Kate Daniels has seen her share of occupational hazards. Normally, waves of paranormal energy ebb and flow across Atlanta like a tide. But once every seven years, a flare comes, a...
"I'm not going on a date with Chad Thurman."A deafening silence descended on the dining room. Mother's face assumed a thoughtful expression. No doubt she was already stringing persuasive and weighty logical arguments in her head in favor of the date. To Mother "no" was simply a "yes" that hadn't ...
A trace of stubble graced his jaw. His cream shirt was slightly damp. As he met me at the door of his room, he looked slightly disheveled and mournful, like a man who had surrendered to his fate. Surprisingly, losing his elegant perfection catapulted him from merely shockingly handsome into outra...
Old love dies harder. On Meli Galdes’ home planet, the struggle for power is a bloody, full-contact sport—in business and on the battlefield. For years her lethal skills have been a valuable asset in advancing her family’s interests. She’s more than earned her right to retire, but her kinsmen h...
Odd runes marked its forehead, carved into the yellowed bone and filled with black ink. Its thick bottom jaw supported a row of conical fangs, long and sharp like the teeth of a crocodile. The skull sat on top of an old Stop sign. Someone had painted the surface of the octagon white and written K...
Karina expected him to hurl her on the bed but he lowered her to the floor. She stumbled, dizzy from being spun back and forth, and scrambled to get away. Steely fingers caught her arm. He held on to her and sniffed at the sleeve of her sweatshirt. “Green beans. You want a shower?” His tone was c...
We hadn't needed to update everyone on what happened. With their hearing, they'd gotten the full scoop while guarding the perimeter of the inn. Annette, Ian, Bones, and I filed back into my house where the balloons, confetti, and banners now seemed out of place with our new somber moods. "Look at...
I wore tiny black panties and a tomato red satin garter belt with black lace-up inserts. The price sticker had described the color as scarlet, but really it was tomato red. The garter belt held up black fishnet stockings. A matching bra did its best to push up my small boobs. It didn’t have much ...
The muddy water of the holes stole the color, and for the moment, turned blue and shiny, like cobalt glass. The pillar jutted among the myriad of puddles, reaching toward the sky, and on its very tip, three chunks of glowing rock lay together, forming a single glowing stone. It was almost beautif...
