Atlanta is a city
plagued by magical problems. Kate Daniels will fight to solve them—no matter
the cost. Mercenary Kate Daniels and her mate, Curran, the Beast Lord, are
struggling to solve a heartbreaking crisis. Unable to control their beasts,
many of the Pack’s shapeshifting children fail to survive to adulthood. While
there is a medicine that can help, the secret to its making is closely guarded
by the European packs, and there’s little available in Atlanta. Kate can’t bear
to watch innocents suffer, but the solution she and Curran have found threatens
to be even more painful. The European shapeshifters who once outmaneuvered the
Beast Lord have asked him to arbitrate a dispute—and they’ll pay him in
medicine. With the young people’s survival and the Pack’s future at stake, Kate
and Curran know they must accept the offer—but they have little doubt that
they’re heading straight into a trap…
The Skinny: Another great Kate Daniels book
I discovered the Kate
Daniels series when I logged onto Goodreads to discover books similar to the
Chicagoland Vampire series by Chloe Neill. I read the previous 5 books in a
flash and fell for Kate’s quirky humor and Curran’s witty remarks. Ilona Andrews has created a series that
readers will enjoy for its fast pacing, interesting characters, and fun
adventures. I really liked MAGIC RISES, and I am certain that fans of the
series will enjoy the developments that take place in the newest addition.
In MAGIC RISES, we leave
Atlanta and join Curran and Kate on a little trip to procure panacea, the cure
for loup. One of the reasons why I enjoy
reading the Kate Daniels books is that the action starts before the first
chapter concludes. MAGIC RISES quickly sets the stage for the reader and we
are soon packing our bags alongside Curran and Kate. For fans who enjoy the
chemistry between Kate and Curran, I assure you that their relationship is
fully examined in this book.
While I was reading MAGIC
RISES, I grinned and glared in equal measure. Kate and Curran have finally
settled into a place that is comfortable, but their happy relationship evolves
as soon as they leave Atlanta. I
appreciate Ilona’s willingness to show a rougher side to their relationship. Our
duo fights and loves, and their evolution feels authentic. This particular
storyline is nicely paced and will certainly inspire strong feelings in
readers.
Like all of the Kate
Daniels books, MAGIC RISES is action-packed and well-written. The writing is smart and clever, and I look
forward to every new quip and quote. In contrast to the previous books,
MAGIC RISES is the most developing in terms of the story. What happens in this
book will change the pack’s position in future books and will change the Kate’s
and Curran’s relationship. I am looking forward to reading how the story
develops in subsequent books.
In future books, I hope to
see more of Derek. He has endured quite a bit of abuse, and we are given
snippets about his state of mind, but I want something more. Overall, I am
pleased with MAGIC RISES, and I encourage fans of UF to either continue the
series or start the series.
