  • "Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1)" by Ilona Andrews

    "Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1)" by Ilona Andrews
    https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Bites-Ilona-Andrews/dp/0441014895/

    Book number one of a ten book paranormal romance dark fantasy series. I
    read the well printed and well bound MMPB published by Ace in 2007 that
    I bought new on Amazon recently. Note that “Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym for a husband and wife writing team. I have purchased the
    second book in the series and am reading it now.

    Kate Daniels's universe sucks. Forty years ago, the tech world crashed
    over the entire Earth and was replaced by the magic world in the form of
    a magic flare. Guns don't work, car don't work, electricity and phones
    do not work. But magic works. Good magic and bad magic.

    After a week, the tech world came back to a drastically changed world.
    And radically fewer humans. And the magic world came back after a
    while. And the tech world came back after that. And so on and so forth.

    Kate Daniels is a mercenary. And a former Order member. She carries a
    large magic sword. And many knives. And she has magic blood. And
    somebody just killed her former guardian, a Knight-Diviner of the Order
    of Knights of Merciful Aid.

    The authors have a website at:

    My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
    Amazon rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (10,988 reviews)

    An auspicious start to one of my favorite series, which blends romance and action better than any other I can think of. Let's say a dead guardian
    is a *very* low level problem compared to things Kate will face later.
