Narrated by Renee Raudman
Editor’s Note: Magic Bites was reviewed as part of Brenda’s Kate Daniels series overview, The World of Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels our Renee Raudman week in January, 2014.
The first in the series, Magic Bites, introduces Kate Daniels, mercenary for hire, she’s worth the pay and she knows it. She’s strong, witty, and irreverent, making her extremely likeable. Kate needs to keep a low profile but when her estranged guardian is killed in a grisly yet indefinable way, she will do whatever it takes to find out who is responsible. Her quest brings her into contact with The People (those who pilot the undead vampires) and Curran, the Beast Lord of Atlanta and his Pack. He’s arrogant, with reason, surprised by a woman who looks him in the eye, and doubtful of her motives in being involved in this murder case.
Am I the only one who has noticed the first book in a series generally has the lowest rating? A rating influenced by those who couldn’t get on board (too bad for them in the case of Magic Bites) and don’t continue on to the next in a series to see how the world and the characters are fleshed out. Notice the ratings on the following books rise as fans that were grabbed come back for more.
