About this listen

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?

The first time I read this I was quite overwhelmed with the world building but the books get better as you continue with the series. Now that I’ve reread this book I enjoyed it so much more the second time around!

Wow. Wonderful Absolute Perfection is what this story is. The best heroine out there? Probably. Best story out there? Probably. Best written story out there? Probably. The story is so good it doesn´t even need humor to cover or make us forgive the flaws. There are no flaws. And no one should miss out on Kate Daniels. Even the narrator is perfect.

This book grabs you, drags you along, ties you in knots and spits you out at the end feeling like you've been through a full workout.

This was gripping, not at all what I thought. Recommended!

Gripping!

You are entering a world that grows over time with 10 books and various novellas for the side characters. The authors are amazingly talented and their descriptions wisp you into the world of Kate Daniels. I love this series and every one of their others series too. I recommend you give it a go.

Love the writer of this book. Such an imagination. It's brilliant, the tale weaves its way, throwing out hints and false trails. The dialogue is highly entertaining. Kate is my kind of hero.

Excellent book

This is the story of a young lady who is trying to make it in her own, as she struggles with authority and to find her own place. She hears that something has happened to her guardian and finds out that he died but know one knows why, by who, or even how. So she goes to find out. This story carries you along her journey as she tried to piece the clues together, as you get to know her and her struggles. Read brilliantly by Renee Raudman.

I’ve enjoyed all books written by Ilona Andrews, and this is no exception. Been having a reading slump for a while som starting this book felt like finally sinking down In the bathtub after the water has finally reached the perfect temperature.
The world building was amazing finding out bit by bit how this unique and world works. Intriguing characters that didn’t feel shallow or boring. And always an exciting adventure. You get to experience alongside the characters. Very highly recommended and I’m so excited to experience the rest of this series!!!

One of the best books I’ve read in a log time

Ilona Andrews is a new author for me but I will certainly be listening to more of her work

This book is the first of the Kate Daniels series and has a few problems to begin with - its almost as if you had missed a book and started with book 2 and I found it hard to follow - in fact had to go back and re-listen to the first couple of hours before I really got it and still feel like I missed some bits, but then the book gets going and its hard to put down.

Our heroine is a great character who really grew on me. Starting as a loner but she gradually bonds with a few others who will doubtless feature in future books. I have high hopes for the series being a good one.
Similarities to Jane Yellowrock or Mercy Thompson are definitely there

I liked the narration which seemed well suited to the book and I loved the story, it wasn't at all clear how this was going to pan out until well into the book but was gripping once the action really started.

Different take on Vampires in this book - definitely they are different creatures to the normal ones in this genre.

The book itself is a complete story but obviously there are more books in the series and I will be downloading book two shortly to see where this this takes Kate and hope I have found a new series to keep me going for a while

Hard work to begin with but well worth the effort
