In the city of Atlanta, magic comes in waves and it is Kate's job to clean up after it. Kate is a mercenary who is caught up in the middle of a mysterious killing that could start a war between the people (vampires) and the shapeshifters. And it all somehow ties into the killing of Kate's guardian. She is on a search to find out who the killer is along with keeping herself safe. This book is the begininning of this series and was an okay read for me. But that sounds like I didn't like it....I did like it. I just thought that it could have been better if it had been fleshed out a bit more. The author did an awesome job of a creating a new and detailed world that I enjoyed spending time. The characters fell a bit flat for me and I wished that she would have gone into more detail in other areas so that we could have gotten to know the main character a little bit better. It was interesting and kept my attention which means I have found another series to keep reading. I'm just hoping that in further books we get to know Kate and her world a bit more. I really liked Curran, the leader of the shapeshifters, so I hope that we get to see him again. Good book overall!

I love this series and the second book is just as good as the first one.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that Jackie. I'm looking forward to getting to the 2nd one. How many are there in this series?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it could be a pretty good series. I love vampires, shapeshifters. I still have Laurell K. Hamilton's new one sitting on my shelf that I really need to get to.
ReplyDeleteDar- I am just beginning the Anita Blake series...I think I'm on number 3. You'll like this if that is the type of books that you enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteI do intend to read this at some point as I have the first two at home. I have started so many series like this though that I want to get up to date next year with as many as possible before starting any new ones. Maybe I will find time in 2010!!!
ReplyDeleteRhinoa- I know what you mean about starting a bunch of series. I just can't seem to stop myself from starting more. Oh well...I could have a worse vice ;)
