About this listen

When magic is up, electricity dies, cars stall, and skyscrapers tumble; when it's down, phones and guns work, and defensive spells can't protect your house from the creatures who stalk the streets. Equally dangerous are the competing factions of The Pack - a highly organized and military clan who governs Atlanta's were-bears, -wolves, and -hyenas - versus the Masters of the Dead, power and knowledge-hungry necromancers whose minds control hordes of blood-crazed vampires.

This is home to Kate Daniels, a mercenary who investigates when things get out of hand. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. But when her guardian is murdered, she must choose between doing nothing and staying safe, or pursuing the dangerous entity who killed him. Kate is way out of her league; but who ever said the right choice was easy?

Paranormal adult stories without 90% sex scenes

So if u like Your books to be about 20pages long if you exclude the sexscenes this book is not for u. I started listening to this series since i really liked the authors "hidden" series. And this first book is promising, so i Will continue on to the sequal. The Universe created is great, but if u like Everything explaned in details from the start, it May be confusing since the story does explain some things but otherwise kind of just take the things for granted. The narrator is good.

Decent For a First Novel

The world itself was interesting and engaging but the characters were a little rough around the edges. The main character especially seemed to randomly shift between very polite to confusingly confrontational. Still, it was a fun listen.

This was the authors' (a husband-wife duo) first novel so I might be willing to give the next book a chance to see if the writing improves.

I love this book and series!

I love this book! Bono was an interesting character. And the villain!

I really love Kate Daniels. When she thought Olathe wasn't the villain, I believed her. But Curran thought she was full of shit. Well, she showed him that it wasn't over!

There was a zombie dragon in the final battle! And Kate killed Bono!

Renée Raudman did a fantastic job performing this story! I thoroughly enjoyed her narration.

I reread this book on July 17th, 2022.

Kate Danels Rules!

I have read the Kate Daniels series so many times, I've lost count. That's how much I love the series. Now, I'm listening to them. Renee Raudman does a great job at conveying Kate's attitude and emotions. However, meaning no disrespect, she'll never be able to embody Curran the way she does Kate. That's the only reason I'm giving her performance 4 stars.

Love this book but hate the narrator

I read this series before I listened to it, and fell in love. When I listen, I find myself cringing at the narrator's performance. I love the story line, but I find myself having to grit my teeth to get through some of the accents and pronunciations.

Love the series, narrator just ok

I love this book series, but to be honest a little disappointed with the narration... very flat and at times words were mispronounced, some of the character voices were a little annoying. Overall still enjoyable and will buy the next one.

More!

Love it, can't wait to read/listen to more! Action, suspense, magic, horror and gratuitous violence with a female heroine! Yes, please.

Magic Bites

I enjoyed this book a lot. The author and narrator were both new to me, but the plot and characters were captivating and funny.
