June 2015 Reread - Loves it and wants its babies

Any book that I read in the space of one day and actually growl at people when they dare interrupt me deserves 5 stars.

This installment of the Kate Daniels series begins with Kate being stood up fo the "naked" dinner she was meant to be serving Curran, the very sexy and infuriataing Beast Lord. From there, for Kate, things go from bad to worse, with plagues being started; powerful people being killed and an unpleasent family reunion. However it is June 2015 Reread - Loves it and wants its babies

Any book that I read in the space of one day and actually growl at people when they dare interrupt me deserves 5 stars.

From there, for Kate, things go from bad to worse, with plagues being started; powerful people being killed and an unpleasent family reunion. However it isn't all bad, the Kate and Curran will-they-won't-they finally reaches its inevitable conclusion, which had me jumping up and down in joy!

The action as usual with Ilona Andrews was fast paced and brutal and satisfied all my blood thirsty urges. The plot line was also interesting and developed at a steady pace; it always kept me anticipating what was going to happen next. The story in this book also pushed forward over arching storyline of Kates birth alot more then the other books, and I can't wait to find out what happens when Kate finally meets with her father Roland.

Now the romance *sighs* this book finally, finally concludes the tension built up between Curran and Kate in the last three books, and it was worth it. I am glad she did it in this book, it was the right time I think doing it before would have been too soon, but dragging it out for another book would have been frustrating.

However, although I enjoyed this book immensley and I believe it does deserve 5 stars, I don't think it was as good as Magic Strikes. To me Magic Strikes is the best book in the series, it has brilliant action in the Midnight Games and also has some of the best Kate and Curran scenes. The bath scene anyone?! Also the love scene in Magic Bleeds although it is hot, I think Andrews writes action and sexual tension alot better then the actual "deed" itself.

But this is an excellent read, one of the best for me so far this year, and a must read if you love the Kate Daniels series and an incentive to start reading the series if you don't.

So when's the next book out... ...more

I liked books 1 & 2 well enough but books 3 & now 4 really up the emotional stakes in this series. It's definitely now one of my top UF series (with Mercy and Dresden). Kate's background becomes a main focus in this one as it's a family member who's the big bad. It's been interesting watching Kate get more emotionally involved with everyone. I forget sometimes what a loner she was in the first book. But with that involvement with Julie or Andrea or (especially) Curran comes risks for Kate and ev ...more

This series is really one of the best ! I loved, loved, loved this book! There was a lot more Curran in the book but hopefully the next book will haven even more . There is never enough Curran for me ! The only thing that I could say negative about this book is there was a few boring spots concerning the back story of Erra . I just didn't find it very interesting and thought it could have been shortened a little bit although it was totally necessary for the story. I love Ilona Andrew's style of ...more

I am even more in love with this series after reading this book. I keep thinking I'm going to want to read something light and fluffy before I tackle the next book, but then I finish the book, and I have to read the next so I can have more of Kate, Curran, Derek, Jim, Dali, Julie, even Samhian (spelling???) I just love these books! And I ♥ Curran! ...more
