Excellent story! Maggie and Killian are the perfect team. You have action, mystery, humor but lacking in the romance. Killian needs to step up his moves. I would love to see them involved! I love this series of books and I highly recommend them all! I look forward to the next book. I can’t wait to see what happens when her twin sister, Mindy, gives birth to her baby. Enjoy these books as I love them!

Eine Kleine Nacht Maggie (Book 9)

Maggie and Killian are faced with numerous serious problems. Now without jobs, unable to live on the Otherside, Killian hiding from the Elf queen and no money in their pockets they must find employment. Fortunately, but grudgingly, Maggie's very pregnant sister Mindy lets them crash at her home for the time being.
Maggie's Dad along with her try to find a job from their old fat elf friend Trovac! After some smooth talking from her Dad, Trovac offers them a number of jobs finding magical artifacts. One in particular, a cuckoo clock!
Killian decides he has found the perfect job at an Oktoberfest, where the cuckoo clock might be found, complete with a Swiss Chalet! Maggie unhappily goes along and finds herself employed as well.
From there on out the story turns dark and dangerous! First the Oktoberfest isn't what it seems! Vampires and Sirens are the main attractions and humans are the entertainment. Blood sucking and murder abound!
So it is up to Maggie and Killian to try and put an end to this beer fest and secure the clock.
Of course all sorts of horrors are faced, near death or deaths occurs with Killian and Maggie trying to fight off evil and barely staying alive.
Kate Danley's humor runs rampant throughout the story even at the worst of times. I truly hope she will continue this series with many more books to come.
Another great addition to the Maggie MacKay Tracker series! Now onto book 10, "Of Mice and MacKays"!

Did this have startling twists and turns that I couldn't predict? No. Did I still love it from start to finish? Yes! I will read all these books in this world until there are no more left, thankyouverymuch!

We join Maggie and Killian right after the events of the previous book. Don't start here! You should definitely start at the beginning because these books have no room to breathe in between. Killian is still hiding from the queen and Maggie is still trying to figure out how to support Killian's spending habits. These two somehow end up working at a beer tent. There's a path that gets us there, but it's confusing and who cares! Killian gets to wear a costume, Maggie gets to stab things (eventually) and lots of characters end up coming along for the ride.

I know I usually write up longer reviews, but these books are just so... fun! I feel like a long drawn-out review does disservice to how enjoyable they truly are. There's some slightly larger stories at work that I'm sure will get resolved eventually, but the characters and their journey are what make me keep coming back for more.

"Eine Kleine Nacht Maggie" is the ninth novel in the "Maggie MacKay, Magical Tracker" series by Kate Danley. Maggie and Killian have just escaped with the rest of the M-Team and need to lay low. But as the reality of their situation hits them, Maggie realizes two things. One she can't go back to the Otherside for a long time. And two, she needs work to be able to move out of Mindy's house before her sister has her baby. Killian is still wearing the void amulet that cuts him off from the Mother Tree and the Queen. He's feeling the effects, but eagerly decides to jump into a non-dangerous job search. However, nothing is as it seems where Maggie and Killian are concerned. When the team checks out an Oktoberfest in Torrance, they find out that it isn't just serving beer to its nightly costumers.
Overall, this was another exciting novel in the series. If you're new to the series, you should read them in order. The characters are funny, the plot is fast paced and flows from story to story.

I wanted to like this book. I wanted to keep on loving this series as much as I did in the beginning. But I couldn’t make myself read more than 54% of this book until I gave up. I have no interest in what happens beside if Maggie and Killian finally will get together or not. This is a classic case of good world building, good characters, good stories and good action but no character development, no feelings and since nothing happens at all between them there is nothing to look forward to.

Spoiler about book 10.
I understand (from reading spoilers about book 10) that there might be something in later books (?) but first Killian is going to love another girl – and this will just break my heart so I won’t be reading that one.

Maybe l'll read the last book when it comes just to see what happens…

Series is interesting but...

I really enjoyed the first five books of this series, but after being disappointed in the sixth that things seemed to be just repeating without any character growth, I've been frustrated. Indeed, with the last three books, I've been reading one less chapter of the beginning (3 then 2 and just the first this time) before skipping to the end. I am only reading the next because I bought all of them before I got to book 7. After 10, I will wait until the series is complete and maybe read the last one. I also noticed the books themselves seem to be getting shorter or are the chapters getting longer because there are fewer chapters in these last two books.

This series used to have me in stitches, there were times were I was genuinely snorting and hoping no one was around to notice. However, the further into this series you go, the less there is to laugh about. Sure, you still grin on occasion because with Killian and Maggie it's hard not to, but there isn't that same strength to the humour and there's a lot more doom and gloom from the plot weighing these books down now.

What this latest instalment has going for it is that it does give you some new elements to the plot. There's progression! That tiny bit of plot progression saved this book from being a disappointment and made it another fun adventure with the M-Team.

This one didn’t really surprise me with big twists, but I still had a great time reading it.
Maggie and Killian are in full “we have no money and everything is on fire” mode, and somehow that ends up with them working at an Oktoberfest beer tent.
The setup is chaotic and a little confusing, but honestly, the fun character energy makes it easy to roll with.
There’s still plenty of Maggie sarcasm and Killian nonsense, even though the overall plot is getting darker and heavier.
I did like that we finally get a bit of real plot progression and new pieces moving into place.
Overall, it’s another fast, entertaining M-team adventure that kept me turning pages.

Oktoberfest with fairies and vamps!

One of the things I love about this series is the diverse settings. This time, it’s a mini fake German village. Our heroes are looking for jobs and end up serving beer steins and wearing lederhosen at a tourist site. Complications arise and they must fight vampires and evil fairies...and, of course, save the worlds. This book brought many smiles to my face at a time when I sorely needed some. Kudos to Maggie and her creator!

4 & 3/4 stars

I know I am being whiny about this. But I am not going to give five stars until the two of them get together. Now, I know, getting together is an old trope. But, they’re freaking perfect for each other.

Maggie and Killian against the end of the world. Again. And this time, they did it by themselves. Well, there was a little help from her Mom.

[Pernille Olsen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think this is my favourite book series. I haven't taken this long to read a book, i pretty much ever, but I wanted to strech it out, and only read a bit every once in a while. Can't wait for the Next book, to what trouble Maggie and Killian can get into next

[Sarah Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

For the first time you don’t have to read Red, White, and Maggie before you read this one. This picked up right at the end of Maggie goes Medieval. It’s pretty interesting and for once it’s not just Maggie getting them into trouble.

[Shiv · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoy anything M-Team related but I'm keen to see more overall story arc progression. Nice to revisit Mortimer!

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

As always, a humorous kick ass mystery solved in the M-K fashion.

[Lois Alston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great

Lots of adventure, excitement, danger, and fixing things. Learning you have to always be yourself regardless of things. Working with your partner works.

[Gretchen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did not realize this was a series and I knew none of the characters/back story. I liked the idea of a paranormal set in Octoberfest..I wish it was a stand alone.

[Angela Hatcher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great one

Another great read! I love following Maggie's adventures. It's always a thrill ride to see what trouble will find her next. Can't wait for the next one!

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always great!

This series never disappoints! Maggie is always a joy to read. I love her attitude and her friendship with Killian is awesome.

[Laurie Hopkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enjoyed

I do enjoy reading about Maggie and Killians adventures. They are quite entertaining and always manage to save the world, after it's almost destroyed

[Debbie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Unfortunately, this series has just fallen apart for me. An awful lot has happened in the last few books that I just couldn't follow. I give up. Sad, because the series started out so well.

[Jackie Bach · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome

Maggie and Killian are always hilarious and this book was no exception. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!

[Denise Moreau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love it!

I. Love. Maggie. I want to BE Maggie! Now that I know what a dirndl is, on to the (hopefully not) last book!!

[Kero Wyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Favorite series

I can’t wait for the next one! I just love the writing style and easy flow. Maggie and Killian are my favs!

[Dorian Ley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fun shirt read

Maggie & Killian are into it up to their eyeballs in this one but Killian now being mortal brings its own set of challenges, most are funny.

[Paige · Rating 5 out of 5]

I freaking love Maggie.

Second book in the series I didn't enjoy, but overall I still liked the series :)
