Urban fantasy and mystery make for a great start to a series. Kate Daniels is a tough, powerful woman who has faced difficulties for a long time. Especially now, with her guardian murdered, she will do whatever it takes to uncover what he was involved in and who killed him. But as she ventures into the investigation, she becomes entangled in the magical community of Atlanta, which I know will only bring her more problems. I enjoyed her sass and her relationships with the minor characters. You could see the chemistry she had with everyone, which had nothing to do with romance—just great writing. Solving the mystery of what happened to her guardian led her to even more questions and bigger problems ahead. I love it when authors can tie everything together like that.
