'Magic Bites' by Ilona Andrews is a fun and fast-paced urban fantasy book that starts the well-renowned Kate Daniels series. 
The story begins with Kate learning that her mentor has been killed and found alongside the dead body of a vampire. As she searches for his killer and what truly happened, she becomes embroiled with the Pack, including their leader, and what appears to be a far larger scheme that I am guessing will play into the longer series. 
I found this book fun and very quick. If you're looking for something that's easily digestible, a good audiobook, and with fantasy elements then this could be a great pick. I am interested to see where this story goes next as I think as a first installment it is really setting up a much larger story that will take place across the entirety of the series. If you're interested in urban fantasy and for some reason haven't picked up the Kate Daniels series yet, I definitely think it's worth a shot.
