In the
latest Kate Daniels novel from #1 New
York Timesbestselling author Ilona Andrews, magic is coming and going in
waves in post-Shift Atlanta—and each crest leaves danger in its wake…
After
breaking from life with the Pack, mercenary Kate Daniels and her mate—former
Beast Lord Curran Lennart—are adjusting to a very different pace. While they’re
thrilled to escape all the infighting, Curran misses the constant challenges of
leading the shapeshifters.
So when the
Pack offers him its stake in the Mercenary Guild, Curran seizes the
opportunity—too bad the Guild wants nothing to do with him and Kate. Luckily,
as a veteran merc, Kate can take over any of the Guild’s unfinished jobs in
order to bring in money and build their reputation. But what Kate and Curran
don’t realize is that the odd jobs they’ve been working are all connected.
An ancient
enemy has arisen, and Kate and Curran are the only ones who can stop it—before
it takes their city apart piece by piece…

I am so glad I finally listened to my friend Jen last year and
started reading/listening to the Kate Daniels series. It is one of my favorite
Urban Fantasy series out and I devour the books as soon as I get them in my
hands. Magic Shifts was no different.
I absolutely loved where Ilona Andrews took the series in Magic Shifts. I knew things would change
with Curran, Kate and Julie leaving the Keep, and loved they now have their
very own home. While they have to stay away from the Keep for 30 days to let
the transistion for the new Beast Lord happen with the pack, I loved we
still got to spend time with so many favorite characters.
Since Kate has claimed Atlanta, she and Curran are spending lots
of time protecting the city. Luckily they have several members and friends from
the pack that have decided to leave with them and are always there to
help. I loved getting to see how Kate and Curran worked in their new roles
and also loved they really are still the exact same people they have
always been.
The interactions with Kate's dad Roland were so much fun.
Honestly I didn't know what to expect and yet found myself really loving the
family time between Kate and Roland. Kate actually was able to find out more
about her mother thanks to family time. While I still don't really trust
Roland, I know that Kate and Curran can battle anything that comes their way.
Magic
Shifts was a wonderful addition to the series and I love that the
series continues to stay fresh and completely original 8 books into the
series. Each and every book is filled with emotion, action and adventure. I
can't wait for my next fix in the Kate Daniels series.
