Update
I decided that this year would be the year when I actually re-read series that I've started but never continued. So I was glad that I needed a shifter book and picked Magic Bites because I actually enjoyed it.

This is the first book in the Kate Daniels series. Kate calls herself a mercenary. She can kick some serious ass! Her guardian has been killed. She needs to find out by whom and why he was killed. She also finds out some others have disappeared and murdered. Who is doing this and why?

I liked this story. I think that Kate Daniels will become a favorite, just like Jane Yellowrock and Mercy Thompson.
