Publisher's Summary
When magic is up, electricity dies, cars stall, and skyscrapers tumble; when it's down, phones and guns work, and defensive spells can't protect your house from the creatures who stalk the streets. Equally dangerous are the competing factions of The Pack - a highly organized and military clan who governs Atlanta's were-bears, -wolves, and -hyenas - versus the Masters of the Dead, power and knowledge-hungry necromancers whose minds control hordes of blood-crazed vampires.
This is home to Kate Daniels, a mercenary who investigates when things get out of hand. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. But when her guardian is murdered, she must choose between doing nothing and staying safe, or pursuing the dangerous entity who killed him. Kate is way out of her league; but who ever said the right choice was easy?

On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight.

They call me the Spider. I'm the most feared assassin in the South -- when I'm not busy at the Pork Pit cooking up the best barbecue in Ashland. As a Stone elemental, I can hear everything from the whispers of the gravel beneath my feet to the vibrations of the soaring Appalachian Mountains above me. My Ice magic also comes in handy for making the occasional knife. But I don't use my powers on the job unless I absolutely have to. Call it professional pride.

Rose Drayton lives on the Edge, between the world of the Broken (where people drive cars, shop at Wal-Mart, and magic is a fairy tale) and the Weird (where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny).

Vamps, Shapeshifters and a snarky main character
This book does a great job of world building, creating its own unique vibe.
Kate our main protagonist is a snarky and sarcastic badass and I appreciate the boldness. Of her character.
The creatures are well thought out and rather creative.
The narrator took some time to get used to for myself - about halfway through the book I found I was finally able to appreciate her reading style.
A neat action packed fantasy mystery - i would definitely recommend to someone who is a fan of vamps, were-animals and the sort!

book 1 of Kate Daniels
Magic Bites
Ilona Andrews is the name of a husband and wife writing team. Who have many books out now. I never thought I would get into what I will refer to as a fluff series. Stories involving mostly a romantic relationship with some kind of mythical creature, like a vampire or werewolf...etc. however it happened.
I believe the combination of femininity and masculinity give these book's a little more vadilit. As opposed to a writer of 1 sex. It is sometimes hard for a man to write a good female character. Likewise it can be sometimes hard for a woman to write a good male character
This married couple have worked together to create a few series I have come to enjoy. Magic Bites is the beginning of the Kate Daniels series.
Kate is basically your bad assassin paid to hunt down supernatural monsters. In a world that shifts with devastating effects from technology to magic. Where sometimes magic works and other times technology works. She also has a secret she must keep hidden in her blood.
After the death of her mentor. Kate puts herself in the investigation. Finding herself dealing with the 2 major supernatural groups in magic ravished Atlanta. The People who are necromancers who pilot mindless vampires and run the local casino and The Pact. A group of various lycampthrops run by the beast lord, Curran.
Kate teams up with Curran and the Pact. Battling an enemy who was trying to pit the People and the Pact into a war. Together fighting off supernatural horror's with guns, blade's, claws, jaws and magic.
As you may know, dearest reader's, I am dyslexic and prefer audiobooks. So I have a great respect for the narrator's who can do a very good job in transporting the lister into the author's world.
Renee Raudman is one such narrator. Able to draw me in using affliction, accents, tones to all the characters. Allowing each individual to be easily identified. She also has an ability to reflect the emotions of the moment. Sometimes I find my heart racing or breaking depending on the moment. With every book Renèe gets better and better. I count her as one of my top 10 favorite audiobook actors. I am definitely a fan of the husband, wife writing team. Truly enamored by Renèes performance.
As ever and always. My deepest thanks to all involved in the creation, production, distribution, and supporting both written and audiobook format. You help make life better.
Yours ever,
David Evil Midknight

Surprising
3.5 stars
Hey, a female protagonist in a supernatural fiction who doesn't solely exist to be ~not like other girls?~ I'll take it! It's not quite as Buffy as it wants to be, but the writing is easy to read, the plot is pretty organised, there's no obnoxious love triangle bullshit. There's one part where Kate Daniels gets all dressed up and does that thing where she talks about how she's never been able to gain weight that isn't muscle, but her waist is SO NARROW but at least she can still run, right?? HAHA and that part was cloying, but I'm interested in the universe and I'll pick up the next one for sure.

Give the series a chance
I am reviewing this after having read the whole series. I must have picked up and put down Magic Bites a couple of times as it just didn't catch my interest. I keep hearing such great things about it though that I kept trying. Finally a year or two later I had it when I had no other books to pull my attention away and I am glad I kept at it. This turned out to be an AMAZING series, that I totally loved and mourn the conclusion of the series. By the end of the book it had my interest and book 2 and the rest I couldn't read fast enough (the only positive of my procrastination is that all books were out by the time I got into them) and fell in love with all the characters. if you are struggling with this book as I was, trust me. it gets WAY better.
Ilona Andrews writing style flows so smoothly and their world building is amazing. I have now read everything I could get my hands on by this wonderful husband/wife writing duo. Rene Raudman does a wonderful job as the narrator and I am glad she continues to voice the rest of the series.

I have already read this series, and it's one of my favorites. I thought I would try the audio book. I wish they had put males voices in. I think it would have enhanced the story.
