Goodreads Blurb
As a mercenary who cleans up after magic gone wrong, Kate Daniels knows how waves of paranormal energy ebb and flow across Atlanta like a tide. But once every seven years, a flare comes, a time when magic runs rampant. When Kate sets out to retrieve a set of stolen maps for the Pack, Atlanta's paramilitary clan of shape shifters, she quickly realizes much more is at stake. The stolen maps are only the opening gambit in an epic tug of war between two gods hoping for rebirth, and if Kate can't stop the cataclysmic showdown, the city may not survive.
The Cover
Kate looks ready to kick butt (words you'll see very often during this review) and Curran ... well he looks just plain weird, not awful, but just weird but I've seen better lions.
My Review
Illona Andrews gets better and better with every new book in the Kate Daniels Series!
I don't want to give anything away so I'll just skim over a bit.
In this second installation the flare, a huge wave of magic that will hang around for a while, and all things magic are will be juiced up while it lasts.It's an opportunity for all things evil to wreck havoc, and believe me, evil never misses an opportunity especially one as good as this.
Not surprisingly Kate's in the middle of things when a wanna-be-God takes advantage of the flare.It's during an investigation Kate comes across a wisp of a girl,Julie, who had a mother who's gone MIA.One thing leads to another until they kick bad-guy butt and save the day but one without the inevitable event of water-works (tears). Of course there's gonna be lots of Curran to go around and and all sorts of were-things!
Fast paced.Magic packed, a lot of butt kicking,witty comments and much bloodshed(the way Kate goes about doing business),it's a highly enjoyable, end-of-your-seat read!
