Summary:
Review:Kate Daniels faces her most powerful foe yet in this fourth entry in Ilona Andrews's New York Times bestselling series.
Kate Daniels cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to deal with-especially if they involve Atlanta's shapeshifting community.
And now there's a new player in town-a foe that may be too much for even Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. Because this time, Kate will be taking on family.
"That's it???"
Those were my words after reading the last sentence of the epilogue. That means I want more! :)
In this one we have Kate facing another dilemma again with the shapeshifters as the target. Kate will fight not only one but more or less eight enemies. Worst, she will be fighting a family.
I was really impressed on how the story goes. Although every book of the series deals with different adventures, the series never failed to enthrall me.
At first I was disappointed (I don't want to mention why because it would already be a spoiler! :), but later on the development of Kate and Curran's relationship is amazing. The book's overall humor is quite impressive and the fighting scenes are full of action and suspense. I don't know how Kate can survive all of those. She is incredible!
I want more of her adventures, so I checked if there's a sequel. Good thing there's more! Magic Slays will be published this coming March. I can't wait!

Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, Book 4)
"I thought about stabbing you and running away screaming. You broke into my house without permission and slobbered all over me. You’re a damn lunatic! And don’t give me that line about smelling my desire; I know it’s bullshit.”
"I didn’t need to smell you. I could tell by the dreamy look in your eyes and the way your tongue licked the inside of my mouth."
- Curran and Kate

Summary:
Review:Drafted to work for the Order of Knight of Merciful Aid, mercenary Kate Daniels has more paranormal problems than she knows what to do with. And in Atlanta, where magic comes and goes like the tide, that's saying a lot.
But when Kate's werewolf friend Derek is discovered nearly dead, she must confront her greatest challenge yet. As her investigation leads her to the Midnight Games – an invitation-only, no-holds-barred, ultimate preternatural fighting tournament – she and Curran, the Beast Lord, uncover a dark plot that may forever alter the face of Atlanta’s shapeshifting community…
The best book so far among the series. I can't find the right word to describe it. Let's just say, it really struck me. It was very impressive. Thanks to Ms. Tina and Chachic who made very convincing reviews of the books in the series!
I guess this would be my favorite urban fantasy series now because of this third book. The series gets better as it went through the paranormal adventures of Kate Daniels. Just like my reviews of the other books, I really adored Kate Daniels personality. This time she had to save Derek from death and kill the ever nasty Reapers.
I don't really want to spoil. However this one had a really good story. It was action-packed and would keep you from the edge of your seat. Too bad I didn't finish it right away than I had expected because of my busy schedule. Although it was not a constant read, it never failed to amaze me.
My favorite parts of course were Kate and Curran's sweet and humorous conversations. I think the scenes were quaint, the fact that the book was written by the collaboration of husband and wife authors (the author's name was their pseudonym). I can't wait for the naked dinner!

Summary:
As a mercenary who cleans up after magic goes 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 time when magic runs rampant. Now Kate's going to have to deal with problems on a much bigger scale; a divine one.
When Kate sets out to retrieve a set of stolen maps for the Pack, Atlanta's paramilitary clan of shapeshifters, she quickly realizes much more is at stake. During a flare, gods and goddesses can manifest - and battle for power. The stolen maps are only the opening gambit in an epic tug-of-war between two gods hoping for rebirth. And if Kate can't stop the cataclysmic showdown, the city may not survive...
Review:
This book is definitely better than the first one! I thought I wouldn't survive reading it after the first few chapters, but as I went on the story became interesting and intriguing.
Kate Daniels never failed to make me excited on her next moves. She's a kick-ass heroine. The stubbornness was still there but she's so adorable! In this book, there's already a development on the relationship between her and Curran which I really anticipated.
It was a nice read to start the year! A mix of adventure, suspense, action and a little romance will keep you reading til the last page. When I read the first book of the series, I admit I was not that impressed. I liked the world building but there's too much going on that I think it already complicated the story. However this time, the author managed to tell a story that is captivating eventhough there's a lot of ideas involved.
Well now I'm impressed and I'll keep on reading the series!
