What can I say...What a ride!
This book started off really slow for me. I was wondering why everyone was telling me to read it. Suddenly, it became interesting. I could not put the book down. The dialogue was clever, the action was exciting.
The world building is well done. I felt the bleak devastation of a city ravaged by waves of magic. I could visualize the different creatures that inhabited this world: the were-creatures led by the Beast Lord Curran, the zombie-like vampires controlled by nec ...more

I think this book is the beginning of a great series! It's taken me a while to get to read this, and I'm excited to see where Kate's story will go from here.
Ms. Andrews has created a completely different world involving shifters, magic, and some of the weirdest and most disgusting vampires I've ever read! It did take me a while to understand fully what was going on, but once I was able to follow the ins and outs of the story, I enjoyed it a lot.
Kate is actually pretty kick ass, but level-headed. ...more

Not sure how many times I’ve read this series now.. 5? 6? But somehow my hate of endings means I haven’t finished the last book in the series. It seems though that the series continues with the Wilmington Years short stories? So I’m back for a complete reread this time!
When I first started reading this it was sooo hard to get into. It took me til 100 pages into the book for me to really start liking magic bites. The world is hard to get used to but once you read it, it is really good. I mean once you understand it all, it will become one of your favorites. My kind of urban fantasy book. I loved Kate, she is badass and I just loved her attitude and personality. And OMG. Curran! I love this man! He is my favorite shifter of all this shifter books I have read! I

May be a 3.5 not quite 4. I was a bit disappointed because I've heard so many praises about this series. I was having trouble follow thru the first several chapters of the book but it got better in the end.
I like Kate character and that's pretty much it. Didn't feel the real connection/attaction between Kate and Curran at all. WTH? I was expecting fireworks. Dang it.
I will read the next book, and hope it's better than the first one. If not, I'm moving on. ...more

I really enjoyed this book. It was confusing at first with all the different terms & types of people, but once I figured all that out I didn't want to stop reading. This series fits into the kind of books I like to read: Leading Kick-Ass Female. You'll like this book if you've enjoyed reading the Anita Blake or Mercy Thompson series.

Very good story.
This book has a slow start but once you're in the characters and storyline are worth the extra effort! Second half of the book is "can't-put-it-down" good! ...more

I don't know if I should give this book 3 or 4 stars... it took me a while to get into the story.
Plus didn't love Kate... I do like Curran very much!
It's just that... I don't know, too much explaining, to many characters, too many weird things going on..
AND I was expecting some lovin' at the end... maybe in the next book?
meh!, I don't think finding out is worth reading another book. ...more
