An April Fool’s Joke come true

Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews

by 3 Comments

4.5 stars While this is technically the first book in a new series, which can be read on its own, this book fits into the larger framework of the Kate Daniels universe (where this book is book 9.5 out of 10). So there’s quite a bit of back story you’re missing out on if you’ve not read the other books first. While the first book is rough, the series as a whole is my favourite paranormal/urban fantasy series, probably ever, so if you like the genre and haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favour and get caught up before you […]

I really do have a thing for competent assholes …

Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

I have to thank Malin again for originally introducing me to the Kate Daniels novels.  I enjoyed them as much on a re-read last summer, especially since after a year in Atlanta, things like Decatur and Ponce de Leon had geographical meaning to me.  Despite that, my reaction to the announcement of a Hugh d’Ambray spin off series was more along the lines of “huh, okay” than excitement.  I certainly liked Hugh on his introduction, especially since Curran was being particularly stupid at the time, but during his next appearance, Hugh was in full on psycho villain mode. So first […]

My first Ilona Andrews was a success!

On the Edge (The Edge, #1) by Ilona Andrews

by 10 Comments

Malin gave me this book several years ago in the CBR Book Exchange, promising that I would like it. And then I proceeded to not read it for a very long time. In my defense, it’s one of 215 (as of June 2018) books on my physical and digital bookshelves that I own but have yet to read. One of my reading goals for 2018 was to make a serious dent in my already-owned books, and that included reading all of the books I’ve gotten in the CBR Book Exchange over the years. So far I am making okay progress, but I […]

Magic binds (but it doesn’t unblock my nose)

Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews

by 3 Comments

I know I enjoyed this instalment of the Kate Daniels series. However, I also know that my brain was virtually buzzing with the flu when I read it, so it’s all taken on the slight haze of a Night Nurse influenced dream in my head. If I remember correctly (do point out any flu medicine induced hallucinations), Roland is busy building a stronghold on the borders of Atlanta, sending Kate into conniptions. He’s also kidnapped Saiman, so the tenuous truce that has been holding between them since Kate claimed the city is starting to shake, as Kate isn’t one to […]

Don’t rub her the wrong way…

Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews

by 4 Comments

I’m trying to space the last of these books out a little but kind of failing at that thanks to how insanely readable they are, especially while real life is a little tough, so it’s nice to wrap myself up in a world that’s so easy to get lost in (even if the characters lives are infinitely more stressful than mine). Having made a deal with Roland following her claiming of Atlanta to step away from the Pack, Kate and Curran are trying to get used to suburban life. Suburbia isn’t quite so boring in Atlanta though, as it’s currently […]

Since When Does Dina Have a Sister?

One Fell Sweep by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

I really need to start following authors on Facebook or Twitter! Partially, I just don’t have the patience to check weekly to see if there are updates to a story published by chapter, but I also just forget about these things.  As a result, when I checked on the Ilona Andrews website, I discovered that not only where they already a few chapters into a new Innkeeper Chronicles novel, but I had completely missed the entire third novel since I had no clue who this Maud character was. After the successful conclusion of the peace talks in the second novel, […]

Getting closer to the end game…

Magic Breaks by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

The seventh book in the Kate Daniels series (I can’t believe how quickly I’m getting through these, I’m gonna have to start trying to drag these out a bit), Magic Breaks takes us back to Atlanta, where Kate and Curran are on high alert, knowing that Kate’s big secret is now known to Hugh d’Ambray. And sure enough, we’ve hardly been back five minutes before Hugh makes his play – having first had Curran lured away for a diplomatic hunt – and lays siege to the Keep. And while Kate may have a thousand or so shapeshifters at her back, […]

Flames…flames on the side of my face

Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews

by 5 Comments

OK, I may be getting somewhat over-invested in these books, if the towering rage that I spent two thirds of it is anything to go by… When Kate and Curran are asked to travel to Europe to protect a pregnant shapeshifter from the two rival clans whose members may have impregnated her (and her Dad’s clan too, just because he’s a dick), they know that they are walking into a trap. Being aware of said trap, they’re pretty certain they can deal with whatever the consequences of their trip may be. Unfortunately for my blood pressure, they haven’t quite anticipated […]
