Review: Magic Claims

Magic Claims by Ilona Andrews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book gives me great hope that the Kate Daniels series is going t go on. They are just going to live in a new place. Add in what is going on with Julie (or rather - Aurelia Ryder) and the fact that Kate may have another child (read Blood Heir)...well, that and we still have some issues we need to clear up with Hugh and Elara, AND issues with the Atlanta pack cracking. There you have it. Fingers crossed, this is a new/old series and a more exciting one too!

I just hope that the Andrews team doesn't forget about this book as she did with Julie's and Hugh's books.

Now about this book. We have Curran and Kate coming to the rescue of a nearby town. They have been offered, I think it was 82,000 acres of land to help this town out. And what they encounter is just Amazing. I really don't want to give much away because the ending of this book is just so damned exciting and amazing. Only the Andrew's team could dream up something this good!

We have the usual sword and pack fights-nice and bloody like the fans of this series appreciate. Nobody we care about a lot dies, a sizzling sex scene, Conlan grows up a bit, and Kate deals with her Father and Aunt again.

The new animals are just so cool! We don't see but a couple of characters from the old series, but interestingly enough, Luther the Wizard shows up in the epilogue.

I highly recommend this book to old fans and even new readers who are looking for something that mixes shapeshifters, vampires, and magic.

SYNOPSIS: "A new town, new friends, new challenges…. And a new heart-stopping adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews. Kate, Curran, and Conlan may have left Atlanta for Wilmington, but the usual magic mayhem has also hitched a ride!

Kate and Curran have just settled into their new home and their 'low prolife,' when a local businessman approaches them with an offer they can’t refuse. A mysterious evil has spawned in the nearby forest and is holding a defenseless town hostage. The ‘due date’ is rapidly approaching.

It’s exactly the kind of fight the Lennarts can’t resist, not for the prize the town offers, but for the people who will surely die if they ignore it. If they succeed, they’ll be rescuing an entire community and can build a strong new base for their family and the Wilmington Pack. If they fail...well, fail is a four-letter word.

Nothing comes without a price. Now Kate must decide if she has what it takes to pay it.
