Magic Bites
by Ilona Andrews
This one doesn't work for me. I can't get into the idea of a tech-magic shift. How did Crest drive to the restaurant while the magic was on? What happens if you're on the ley and the tech hits?
Also there were too many holes in the narration filled with one sentence explanations. "I had to distract them, so I just escaped." Erm, what? How? I appreciate a story where the world building isn't done with a brute force approach but there's a difference between subtle and sloppy.
The story has potential and the secret blood line or whatever thing might turn out to be an interesting bonus further into the series, so if you don't mind wonky details this series might work for you. I'm too obsessed with logic to make it work for me, unfortunately.
