Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews

4.0

This book was a good solid second book to the series and I felt much more connected to the characters in this one than the first. Kate is still badass and I loved the aspect of her trying to take care of a kid amongst hellish situations. Her humor has become stronger in this one and I loved the ending battle scene and how she handled it.

Curran is just a rolling ball of rage and hotness. He even had a few places where I was grinning and laughing because of what he said. His protective nature came out a lot more in this book for many reasons and I was happy to learn more about the Shapeshifters.

The plot of the book wasn't really the same as the first, but there are still underlying currents that can be explored in later books, but this specific plot was more engaging and easier to follow, I think, than the first book.

Overall I highly enjoyed this book and can't wait to pick up the third.
4/5 stars
