Atlanta is being rocked by waves of magic, each stronger than the one before, and the city is going crazy. Meeting a vulnerable young girl living on the streets whose mother disappeared during one of the waves, Kate finds herself trying to work out just what exactly magic-crazed shifters, witches and Celtic gods have to do with it all. Of course, she also gets to rub up a lot against the Leader of the Pack (I seem to be incapable of calling him the Beast […]
Magic’s all balderdash and chicanery. I’m afraid we don’t know a bloody thing. Except I seem to be British, don’t I?
I picked this up because A) I wanted to read something fun and B) it turned up on a list of urban fantasy novels when I Googled it and C) when I looked it up on Goodreads, Malin had given it a good review. I’d read and enjoyed a few of the Kate Daniels series, so it was no surprise that this book was great fun, as well. There’s just something really great about throwing magic and werewolves and vampires and beings from other planets […]
Magic Bites, but this doesn’t
Magic Bites introduces us to Kate Daniels, a mercenary who’s working in an Atlanta that is in flux – in this world sometimes technology is in charge, but during others magic holds sway. To cope with this, Atlanta has a number of agencies to tackle the supernatural as well as criminal threats. Kate works for none of these, preferring to go it alone, but when her mentor and father-figure (who’s no pushover himself when it comes to monsters) is murdered and both the People (undead) […]
No more nipples, but we DO get a purple tornado and lightning…
The third instalment of the Hidden Legacy series, Wildfire sees our male cover model finally pop a t-shirt on while on the inside Nevada investigates the kidnapping of a House Prime and enjoys her newly romantic relationship with Rogan. Unfortunately for her immediate happiness, however, it’s not only looking like the kidnapping is part of the conspiracy that’s been threatening to overthrow society throughout these books, but the kidnappee’s wife is Rogan’s ex, Rynda, who’s not above trying to win him back to her side. […]
Further adventures in terrible book covers
The second book in the Hidden Legacy series, despite being warned by you all I didn’t believe it was possible that the cover for White Hot could be any worse than that for Burn For Me. I was so wrong, and you were soooo right. Why is he sniffing her forehead? Are those abs painted on? Are the publishers actively trying to put people off from buying this? The mind boggles… In the aftermath of Burn For Me’s adventures, when not practicing her magic Nevada […]
Thanks, kind Cannonballer…
A week or so ago, in the need of some decent brain candy, I put out a plea for urban fantasy recommendations. I can’t remember which kind Cannonballer came up with this one, but I’m grateful nonetheless. Nevada Baylor is a private detective in a small ‘family’ business, albeit one that’s been bought out by a much bigger business – in this case one of the many ruling Houses that make up this world. This is a world where magic exists, with different types and […]
