I read Magic Bites last week, and it made me pick up Magic Burns this week. I have been reading several first books in series over the last 8 months and NOT ONE has made me want to pick up book two in the series, even if I sort of enjoyed book one.

The writing is unputdownable. Confession: I hate violence, I usually dislike urban fantasy (Hamilton, Lui, Singh were all recent tries) and I cannot stand vampires, shapeshifters or werewolves. This series ticks all those boxes and yet I found it absolutely brilliant. The book just MOVES. This was the first smart-mouthed urban fantasy heroine I did not want to slap, and who I got a true sense of the person behind the aggressive female facade. The romance between Kate and Curran was also surprisingly sweet.

[...] Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews. Both Jane and Jia would recommend this sophomore effort by newcomer, Ilona Andrews. The “Magic” series features a smart mouthed, sword wielding Kate Daniels who helps to enforce the law in an alternate universe Atlanta. For the crossover genre reader (i.e., the romance reader that likes to cross the genre aisles), Curran, the Beast Lord of the Pack of Atlanta, plays the alpha male who likes to tweak Kate’s chain. Jia particularly likes “how their relationship is unfolding slowly, developing over the course of what I hope will be several books. It makes things more believable considering the two people involved: the Beast Lord of the Pack and the lifelong loner with a dangerous heritage.” [...]
