Kate Daniels - I. Andrews

[Heather]

Umm...kinda, sorta, maybe? ;)

[Brandee]

NO HINTS HUH?? DAMN. I really like Curran and Kate is kick a**. But I think I enjoy the banter they have BUT it is killing me bc to be honest i want them to just kiss already LOL

[Heather]

Haha. I'm not telling you because the best part of the books is that you have no dang idea if they're going to kill each other or kiss each other. Just when you think one will happen the tables flip....constantly!

[Carrie (Care)]

That is what I love about Kate and Curran!

So Shera, you didn't say if Curran won you over or not?

[Whitney]

I'm at the end of magic strikes loving it but you kno the build up is always sooo long then the conclusion is always so quick

[Brandee]

I am almost at the end of magic strikes... AWWW so much going on

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Haven't read Magic Slays yet.

However, I can say he has finally won me over. *_* What he did at the end of Magic Strikes, and then in Magic Bleeds. *sighs* Those to are perfect for eachother. ^_-

[Vivian ♪(┌・。・)┌]

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Looks like I'll have to join the craze.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

All right let me know if I'm spamming this I just don't want any of you guys to miss out on this it only lasts to weeks.

Ilona Andrew fans take note!!!

What is this? This is that novella we kept promising you. It’s about 35,000 words long so about a third of a book and it’s yours free.

This novella takes place at the same time as Andrea’s book, right after MAGIC SLAYS, and the two stories intersect.

Synopsis:

A dinner date after a hard day at work sounds heavenly. Of course, when that date is between the Beast Lord and Kate Daniels, things don’t go as planned. Before you know it, undead are running amok, heads are being chopped off, lawyers are deployed and used with extereme prejudice, and drunk vikings are calling people out.

Read at your own risk.



The have Kindle, Epub, and PDF plus a few other ones!!Free my peeps, free!!

It is good in audio. I just did a re-read of it in audio for the second or third time. So good!

Audible has the whole series on sale for @$9 a book this month so I snatched them all up. :-).

[Darcy]

I have them all, but I did grab 4 or so books at the cheap price. I have a love/hate relationship with their sales. Love it because cheap, but hate it because I end up spending too much! lol

[Whitney]

I needs my closure

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

I keep hearing wonderful thing about it. I'm just going to put my doubts on hold and jump in on this bad boy.

[Darcy]

I thought Magic Rises was good. I did get frustrated at times with Curran though.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Ha-ha!!! I get frustrated with curran and Kate most of the time.

[Whitney]

if this turns in to some gush fest I'll be highly disappointed.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

? Hmmmmm . . . I don't think it's going that way . . .

[Darcy]

Chakara wrote: "if this turns in to some gush fest I'll be highly disappointed."

No, it is a lot of pack politics, seen from members of the pack, from Curran, and from Kate.

[Whitney]

okay thanks everyone :) I went ahead and purchased Magic Rises. As long as it doesnt get mushy like Cat and Bones Im good.

[Tya]

Ok. I'm in book one and am loving it. From the very first time this Curran character pops on the page I was all...why...hello there. But I'm confused. Vampires are super creepy and gross and yucky. But then there are vampire navigators....? And these people are immortal/live to be several hundred years old? World. You don't make sense to me. I keep falling asleep when I read this book and I think I'm missing out on explanations.

the vampires will be explained even better as the books move along. from what I understand the navigators can get into the minds of the vampires and kind of use them to do their bidding. A vampire can go un navigated and if there is a wild on or a navi isnt strong enough to hold the mind control they are very dangerous.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

The first book is little jumpy, but things do get explianed in depth later. Especially in later volumes.

[Heather]

I struggled a lot through book 1. It was only the last scene that made me keep reading and I'm glad I did.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Book one was hard for me too. It had promise and that ending is really what saved it.

[Whitney]

anybody else notice that the new book is coming out in hardback and also that the e-book is like 11 dollars. What is urban fantasy coming too? I know it's better for the authors but for my pockets not so much. And then the proportions will be all off on the shelf now :(.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Ah! I was wondering when they'd switch this series over to hardback releases. ;_; Bummer.

[Whitney]

if they're going to do that they should atleast re-release the mass markets in hardback or trade paperback so they'll match up.

On the author's blog they said that the publisher wanted to go to hardcover for the last book, but they pushed them off. In a way it is good for them, they are getting big, but for those that like books all in one format it is bad.

yes indeed however im loyal so i guess ill have to pre-order and deal with the non matching lol

[Darcy]

I've been buying their books in audio, I love the narrator they use, so no issues for me.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

I'm safe for now, I ran out of space and have been trying to get things in ebook for now.

I believe they actually did the rerelease in hardback for a number of series. The Hollows, Brigg's, Ward, and a few more.

My thing is that the art no longer matches with my first editions!

[Whitney]

I've been buying eBooks too but not for $11

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Yeah, that's super steap. Maybe Sony store will get an amazing deal on it again.

[Whitney]

when amazon does this im just like might as well spend a couple more dollars and get the hard copy ya know the moneys worth as they say lol.

I can never find the early ones in hardback. like the mercy books so I think ill prob go with ebook as long as the price is right or library.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

That's how I am sometimes about ebooks. I need more space . . .

[Tya]

Oh. my. goodness I'm loving this series! Behind the times, as always, but I'm loving Kate and Curran. I'm in book 3 and am biting my finger nails over Boy Wonder. My favorite scene so far, of all 3 books is Kate learning that Curran giving her soup in book 2 had ulterior motives. Cracks me up!

[Darcy]

You have so more goodness to come Tya, have fun!

[Tya]

I already have like---five new favorite scenes. And! I have just discovered the Curran POVS. He's hilarious and sweet and he's in love! I love them!

[Whitney]

I still haven't read the Curran Povs my plan was to finish the series and then go back and read them but now... with the knew books and all.

I just finished Magic Rises and I loved it. (view spoiler)[ I was super annoyed in the beginning with Andrea and Raphael being engaged and Andrea being the official Beta of Clan Bouda because it all took place in novellas in-between Slays and Rises and I didn't read any of them. So, when the book started and the engagement and whatever is common knowledge I was all---wait. But, last book y'all weren't even talking? I thought that I had skipped a book. So, I was annoyed to find that it was all in a novella. (hide spoiler)]o, I don't think I like Julie.(view spoiler)[Before, I was mostly indifferent to her and then when she went Loup I didn't really care but then when she got better---I was disappointed that she didn't kick the bucket. (hide spoiler)] it took me awhile to get through the first chapter of Rises because it was so Julie heavy.

I love that Kate and Curran take the time to talk their conflicts out. This book really reminded me of the book in the JD. Robb series were one of Roarkes old flames comes back trying to stir up trouble. All in all this series brings on the happy times :)
