Since I took today off of work, I just finished reading Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews. It's the first book in her "Kate Daniels" series, featuring mercenary Kate Daniels, who is more than she appears.

In this first installment, Kate's guardian has been murdered, and she is determined to find the person - or creature - responsible. In addition to her guardian, Kate learns that vampires and weres have also been killed, and that several young women have recently been reported missing. As she searches for answers, she must deal with necromancers, vampires and shapechangers. However, Kate has some tricks up her own sleeve, including hints at a powerful family bond. It's never revealed completely, but then again, this is the first in a series.

I enjoyed Kate's brashness and her sarcasm. I especially enjoyed her interactions with Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, and it was apparent that Curran was intrigued with Kate. The two of them must grudgingly work together to bring down the killer.

This was a fantastic book, set in an alternate Atlanta, in which magic and technology battle for supremacy. I am very much looking forward to reading more in this series. Five stars!
