Hi everyone
I wasn't sure I would like this series because I thought it would be too romantic but I kept seeing great reviews so I finally decided to read the first book in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews.
I read this on my e-reader.
"Kate Daniels is about to enter a world of gritty magic and dangerous mystery! Vampires, necromancers and mages abound on the city streets, with one kickass heroine in the middleFuture Atlanta is an interesting place to 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 the onslaught of magic; the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, prowl through the ruined streets; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their thirst for knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with their minds. Kate Daniels likes her sword a little too much, and she has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood makes her a target, and she's 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 risk her life by pursuing his preternatural killer. Hiding is easy, but the right choice is rarely easy .."
I actually liked this a lot. It's action-packed, fast, it has cutting humour and fun characters.
It is however a bit boring plotwise and writingstyle-wise. The 'cutting remarks' get predictable, you will be able to foresee who will do and say what after reading only a few chapters.
I enjoyed it, I will read the second book and we'll see about the whole series.
Happy reading!
Helena
