Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews
3.0
An interesting imagining of where the world could be if magic waves started destroying technology. The back and forth of magic to tech is one of the most interesting and unique aspects of this book. The mythology is a little sketchy, world building a little hazy, but all in all the main characters are likable (which I need) and the side characters are fleshed out enough to stay interesting.
The main character is 'powerful' in an undefined way; she's a fighter, independent, strong and written well. There are shape changers, magic users and vampire masters as side characters with a smattering of 'normal' folks.
I'd have kept on with this series regardless, as I've heard so much about it, but the first book is pretty average. I actually started this book ages ago (8+years?) in a book store but didn't buy it because it didn't catch me. This time I found it more engaging and of course the Kindle makes a series so easy to get!
