review 1: I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. Ilona Andrews is a masterful author(s). I have never loved a book that was a "road trip." I could feel a bit of struggle in this book, although the characters were struggling too. There were a lot of superbly writte...

review 1: Oh how I love Ilona Andrews. I absolutely detest all the covers for these books as they do not make me want to read them at all, with the cheesy 80s characters and not near attractive enough men, but the books themselves are brilliant. I don't care if they are twinkies of the lit...

review 1: Después de algunos libros bastante pesados y sin un gran argumento de Kate y Curran, la autora por fin nos deleita con la vida y milagros de Rafael y Andrea. Y ha valido mucho la pena! Pasan muchas cosas, todas al aves y bastante liadas entre sí, pero eso es la marca personal de ...

review 1: I was sad to finish this one as this has been a great , fun series to read and I had grown to become quite attached to Kate, Derek, Barabas and crew. Lots of different mythologies were mixed into a fast paced, action packed series with nice twists on some of the more common paran...

review 1: These books are great. They were a little difficult for me to get into as I felt I was just dropped into the world with no background. Stuff was happening but I had no reference point for any of it. I picked up and put down Magic Bites a few times before other reviews prompted me...

review 1: As a second story set in the the Kinsmen universe, I thought it was well-written and had a decent plot.The problem with a lot of short stories, in general, is that it would be difficult to do a lot of world-building, character introduction/development, and weaving in a plot that ...

review 1: This is a review for the entire Ill-Advised Rescue story as printed in the back of Magic Rises. This was a story based on rescuing Saiman, which largely features only Kate and Derek. It was in fact an enjoyable story and up to Ilona Andrews standards but due to its brevity it had...

review 1: I love the writing style of the books and I think that Kate's a great heroine, but I absolutely hate the way in which all of her potential love interests treat her like she's some kind of prize to prove their masculinity and attractiveness instead of appreciating her as a human b...

review 1: This series has become a favorite of mine this year. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them. Although it started a little bit slow for me, once it got going it was a great ride to the end. In this book, Kate finds out more history about her mom and stepdad and her good memories o...

review 1: Ok, overall I'm happy with these stories.I usually rally like to see how each writer comes through with their own style in each story. Meljean Brook's is angsty, as per usual, but with strong female characters that don't take any shit and interesting well developed mostly none as...

review 1: Magic Bites - I found it to be a different kind of story that has some interest and me wanting more. Kate is strong and endearing in her own way. This Curran character has her interest and maybe a bit more. There is necromancers, vampires, shapeshifters, a hot guy, and a kickas...

review 1: Great novella. I have only one complaint: Magic Gifts was a bonus story in Gunmetal Magic and was placed AFTER Andrea's story. However: Magic Gifts is story #5.4 in the Kate Daniels universe, Gunmetal Magic is #5.5. No wonder I didn't recognize Håkon the draugr when I read about ...

review 1: Ha -- I got so caught up in the comments, I forgot to write a review! :-)This was a really well-paced and breathless novel right from the beginning. It's probably the darkest Kate Daniels book so far, and certainly the next bloodiest after Book 1. So thank goodness for the inter...

review 1: I really enjoyed the introduction to Saiman in this story; he's one of my favorite characters in these books, and seeing how he and Kate met was very satisfying. I give the story four stars for mythology and cleverness in how the challenge in it is met and solved. But I'm knockin...

review 1: Through the first half of the book, I was pretty bothered by the fact the main character seemed to be a direct lift of Prince Kheldar from the Belgariad series, my favorite character in one of my favorite fantasy series, but suckier. Then he turns into a sappy insta-love victim a...

review 1: 3.5 starsLet me start by saying my rating and review only relate to the Alphas: Origins story by Ilona Andrews. That was the main reason I got the anthology from the library and while I do enjoy the Nalini Singh Archangel series, I just wasn't all that interested in reading about...
