Epic...no sleeping, no eating, no family..nothing exists while reading this golden tomb ...
Description:
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…
My Thoughts:
Have you ever read a book that when you finish you are sad cause it is over and you want more?? Well this Epic read from Team Andrews will make you want to start all over again and read slower this time. The novel has everything you would expect from the Kate Daniels series and more.
The story is set out of Atlanta which is a nice change and introduces more new characters..enemies and friends alike. The book also moves the plot line of Curran and Kate's relationship onto a whole new level. I really can't say anything about the writing that hasn't been said before. This husband and wife team are the ultimate story telling geniuses. The worlds they create are so real you can visualize yourself there. Her villains so evil they make you shutter and the pain created as the different character's anguish moves the plot along into a whole new set of challenges for our heroes.
This is not only a must read for Kate Daniel fans but definite boost to once again encourage those who haven't read the Kate Daniels series to run and grab the first book. For those of you like me who are fans..this is one you don't want to miss.
5 dazzling Bears ++ to the best book I have read so far this year. Ilona Andrews NEVER lets me know and is worth every penny of the rates charged for this book ...and I don't say that often.

I am so glad to have your review, T. I just started this series and am on to book 2. All I can say is...Wow! What a creative take on UF. And the writing is exceptional, especially for a first book. The world-building was a trip. I admit to having to re-read often to wrap my head around it. But that's cool - I wanted to be clear as I'd decided I love these characters and will be gobbling the series down.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, T. Now I know one very important thing: Ilona and Andrew only get better. xxx
