Magic Bites- Ilona Andrew (Book 1)

Kate Daniels is a magic wielding mercenary with a mysterious lineage that is hinted at throughout the book. She is extraordinary in many ways and made for a fun heroine of this quick paced urban fantasy. The setting is Atlanta at some point in the future after magic and technology have collided. Certain buildings from the technology era have either been destroyed or eaten away by the persistent magic waves, while others undergo interesting changes. Magic comes and magic goes, causing problems and creating opportunities for the characters (though the majority of the story is about magic). Magic is explained throughout the book, enough for the story to make sense. I liked the way vampires and werewolves were handled in this story as well. There are some sexual references and profanity, so parents should read the book before giving it to young adults. I listened to the audio book version read by Renee Raudman. She did a great job. I plan to read/listen to the next book in the series as soon as I have some more Audible.com credits.
