Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews
4.0
Kate Daniels is a mercenary who cleans up magical messes in Atlanta where magic and technology battle for dominance. It's not a glamours life, but then again she's not really someone searching for luxury or fame. When her guardian is murdered, Kate is determined to find his killer, even if it means getting in between two of the most powerful magic factions in the city and their power war.
This book has been popping up in my GoodReads recommendations for a while now. When I saw it at the library's yearly book sale I scooped it up, but it's been sitting there on my bookshelf unread for about a year now... I don't understand why I waited so long to finally give it a chance! Kate had me hooked from the get go. Her humor and take no prisoners attitude, while still having and admitting to her flaws, made the book difficult to put down.
And she really has no filter which makes the situations she gets herself into interesting to say the least.
You get thrown into her urban fantasy world without much explanation, so if you're new to the fantasy genre it's going to take a while to get your footing. There's also a bit of a detective/mystery vibe going on, but it's done in such a way that even though I'm not a particular fan of that genre I still enjoyed it and wanted to know who done it. I will definitely be getting my hands on book two the next time I'm at the library.
