Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews
4.0
I periodically try a fantasy-magic genre author in search of a good one. After a few strike-outs this could be the series to read.
It's set in an alternate future where magic is overtaking technology--when magic is running high, technology doesn't work or is even destroyed. By about 1/3 of the way in, I was starting to like the main character, Kate. It's about Kate's role in this world where there are a few (confusing) magic-powered factions. Naturally she's the resourceful heroine who kicks ass and solves crimes. She also has a mysterious past frequently alluded to but never explained.
I didn't care for some of the descriptive detail of brutal slayings by the bad guys, so I skipped over those. Too gross for me.
