The penultimate Kate Daniels novel.

Magic Binds (Kate Daniels, #9) by Ilona Andrews

This is my favorite one of these so far. Everything is finally coming together. This is also actually the first of these books where I feel emotionally invested in Kate/Curran as a couple, which is kind of mind-boggling if you think about it. I’m really not reading this for the romance, but the worldbuilding and the side characters, and also Kate is a badass. Here’s the blurb, because I just can’t right now: “Kate and the former Beast Lord Curran Lennart are finally making their […]

Magic Tides: Kate & Curran Still Going Strong

Magic Tides by Ilona Andrews

by 6 Comments

Plot summary of Magic Tides: Kate, Curran and their son, Conlan have left Atlanta, vowing to keep a low profile, and are settling into a new city and new house…but some things never change! Magical mayhem is about to erupt when Kate undertakes the rescue of a kidnapped youth, while Curran guards the homefront. It should be a simple retrieval, but with monsters on land and sea, Kate’s got her work cut out for her. Still, she’s never let her blade dull or her purpose […]

Kate’s back, baby!

4.5 stars While this book is the start of a new chapter in the lives of Kate Daniels and her family, I suspect this book will work a lot better if you’ve read at least some of the previous thirteen books and various novellas. As always, I would recommend strongly skipping the first book (as do the authors themselves). Start with book 2, Magic Burns. Set seven years after Magic Triumphs (and about two years before the events of Blood Heir), Kate, her former Beast-Lord […]

Is this book perfect? No. Is it perfect for me right now? Yes. 5 stars. Do I have time to reread Blood Heir? I do not, but I probably will anyway. Kate and Curran, along with their 8 year old son, Conlan have moved to Wilmington, North Carolina to get away from their notoriety in Atlanta. They bought a Fort, which they are renovating to make it a homey sort of castle. They’ve got Conlan registered at an expensive school. They have a contractor. They […]

This is basically non-stop action.

Magic Breaks (Kate Daniels, #7) by Ilona Andrews

To be honest, I thought the confrontation that happens in this book wouldn’t happen until the last—or maybe the penultimate—book in the series. So I was refreshingly surprised! For most of this book I had no idea where it was going, and then it went there! And then after that it shook some things up that I didn’t think would ever have the possibility to get shaken up, but I’m glad they did. All of that sounds very vague, but this is a review of […]

The Pack goes to Europe.

Magic Rises (Kate Daniels, #6) by Ilona Andrews

by 15 Comments

This is my favorite of these books so far. I loved the getting-the-team-together atmosphere, the fish-out-of-water aspect of Kate, Curran, Andrea, et al. faffing around in Europe. It was interesting to see a different setting in this world, and I liked how being far away from home changed the dynamics of Kate’s relationships with the Pack. I also just liked the clarity of the story, and how because Kate and co. are also trying to find their way in unfamiliar territory, there’s a neat symmetry […]
