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 1 Comment

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 […]

Drunk vikings make everything better.

Magic Gifts by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

A novella from the world of Kate Daniels, it seems that Magic Gifts should have been read prior to Gunmetal Magic as it takes place at the same time as certain events from the beginning of the latter book, letting us see what Kate was up to whilst Andrea was stomping around the city in beastkin form. However, reading it a little out of order didn’t diminish the experience at all. Starting with a rare dinner date for Kate and Curran, they’re soon up to their necks in all things nasty once more when a magical necklace chokes the life […]

Gunmetal Magic, or, how I managed to ruin Raphael for myself…

Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

A slight detour in my Kate Daniels read-a-thon, Gunmetal Magic is actually a side novel apparently set between books 5 & 6 – and it’s a side novel I’d have had no clue existed if it wasn’t for the kind Cannonballers who mentioned it, so a big thank you to you all! Until this point we’ve been reading about the adventures of Kate – former merc, now the Consort to the Beast Lord and possessor of a smoking sword and dodgy blood – as she’s ably backed up by her friend Andrea Nash, beastkin and former Knight of the Order. […]

Another series to read

On the Edge by Ilona Andrews

by 1 Comment

I first became a fan of Ilona Andrews (husband and wife writing team) when I happened upon their Hidden Legacy Series through some persuasive Cannonball reviews. I was pleasantly surprised and ready to read some more, which is what led to The Edge series and Book 1: On the Edge (2009). Although this book was not quite as memorable or addictive as I found the Hidden Legacy Series, I could see the beginnings of what makes Andrews’ books so entertaining. Rose Drayton is a young woman, bearing the burden of sole caretaker of her two young brothers. She barely scrapes enough money […]

Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews

by 4 Comments

I’ve reached the fifth of the Kate Daniels series, Magic Slays, where Kate finds herself in a bit of a limbo. Having quit the Order, Curran has set her up with her own business, Cutting Edge Investigations, where she’s been joined by her friend Andrea but where clients seem be to pretty thin on the ground. To top things off, her ward Julie has been expelled from her fancy school having run away again, and is currently en route to the Keep where she’s intent on staying, no matter how dangerous that may be.  Into this walks Rena, last seen […]

It doesn’t look like I’ll be reading anything other than Kate Daniels for a while…

Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews

by 4 Comments

I’m having a lot of fun reading the Kate Daniels series, so much so that I’ve just gone and bought the rest of the series, and I’m ploughing straight on into Magic Bleeds where we find Kate pissed when Curran doesn’t show up to the home-cooked and served in underwear dinner that she’d promised. Which is how, instead of snogging a werelion, she finds herself instead investigating a bar fight which has led not only to a shapeshifter fatality but also an explosion of supernatural disease. And that’s just for starters, as it soon becomes apparent that a Big Bad […]
