Book Review: Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

Magic Bites
by Ilona Andrews (Andrews)

 

A tough, sassy know-it-all who still has a lot to learn, Kate Daniels is a member of the Merc Guild in post-magic Atlanta, GA. Normally she cleans up magical messes (flying snakes, huge tunneling worms) but now she is trying to solve her guardians murder.

 

Ilona Andrews, the writing spouse duo, introduces us to Kate in this amazingly fantastic world where the question has been posed: What would we do if magic came back?

This book has Necromancers (vampire pilots), the Pack (a mad conglomeration of were-pick-your-flavor-animal who run around in Atlanta) and Kate, who has powers that will be explored, a sword that likes to drip acid around vampires and a backstory that leads into an epic 10 book + saga.
