Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

4.0

2nd read (after 7 years!)

Kate is as great as I remember her being, all that sass and ass-kicking. I was wincing every time she got injured, but I knew in the end, she'd come up as the winner.

I remember reading this book the first time and not realizing Curran ends up playing a bigger role in the series. Heck, Kate dislikes him, and the only love she has for him is a love of making him annoyed. So color me surprised later when Kate and Curran actually have sexual tension, haha. I'm really glad Ilona Andrews didn't rush the romance and spent time developing the plot and world instead.

This reread didn't end up as good as I remember it being, but I think it's because the later books are just too amazing.
