Summary: A fresh and grisly fantasy
Comment: Magic Bites is a new grisly urban fantasy. While the horror is well-balanced with humor, I am more impressed with Andrews' world-building. We are introduced to a magic-based reality with a surprising amount of depth and a fresh take on shapeshifters, vampires, and the like. The descriptions for the setting and characters are also well written, making the story as a whole easy to visualize. Besides being a fantasy, anyone with a soft spot for mysteries will be drawn to this whodunnit plot. At first it was hard for me to keep track of everything that was going on in the plot and who all the characters were, but that problem ebbs the more you get into the story. If you are looking for a unique take on the urban fantasy world, Magic Bites is definitely worth a read.

Summary: Promising new heroine
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. The author creates a believable world which includes fantasy in everyday life. I think the writing is good and it makes me want to know more about Kate and her friends (and enemies.)

Summary: Great story
Comment: This book has a great story involving a great main character, living in a magical version of the present world. First and foremost this book is a mystery investigation. It would be similar to an updated Alfred Hitchcock story line, if Angelina Jolie played the sword wielding investigator. The main character is bold, mysterious and borderline psycho, which makes for excellent reading.
There is alot of killing and death involved in the story and this book has couple of curse words here and there, but nothing your kids havent heard from your own mouth =-)
If you have read the book Dhampir by Barb Hendee then you will love this book as well.

Summary: Magic Bites is Great!!
Comment: Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1) This debut book is an excellent beginning for this author. I just hope that she can write these books at light speed! I really enjoyed the fatasy world overseen by a council, wracked by waves of technolgy and magic and one that has its own version of magicians, vampires, werewolves and other creatures. I like her almost as much as Jim Butcher. They are both excellent authors. Ilona, please keep Kate Daniels coming!
