Kate Daniels is about to enter a world of gritty magic and
dangerous mystery! Vampires, necromancers and mages abound on the
city streets, with one kickass heroine in the middle Future Atlanta
is an interesting place to live: one moment magic dominates, and
cars stall and guns fail. The next, technology takes over and the
defensive spells no longer protect your house from monsters. Here
skyscrapers topple under the onslaught of magic; the Pack, a
paramilitary clan of shapechangers, prowl through the ruined
streets; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their
thirst for knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with
their minds. Kate Daniels likes her sword a little too much, and
she has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood
makes her a target, and she's spent most of her life hiding in
plain sight. But when Kate's guardian is murdered, she must choose
to do nothing, and remain safe, or to risk her life by pursuing his
preternatural killer. Hiding is easy, but the right choice is
rarely easy ... Readers are hooked on Magic Bites: 'Everything in
this story has an edge to it . . . there is humour, but it's of the
drier, more wry, and grimmer variety . . . The stakes are
particularly high in this novel, in ways that you need to read to
find out' Goodreads reviewer, '[Kate] is tough, smart, mouthy and a
little arrogant. She is my favourite kind of heroine. She doesn't
give in to lengthy emotional blabbering or emotional breakdowns so
I love her!' Goodreads reviewer, 'I want to add a gazillion more
starts to my rating . . . I love the concept of the shifting magic
and technology' Goodreads reviewer, 'Kate is a kickass heroine. She
knows how to use her sword better than she knows how to walk in
high heels. She is fierce, strong, reliable, faithful to her
friends' Goodreads reviewer, 'I love this book. I love this world.
I love Kate. It's still my favourite series. It's fantastic, it's a
great start, and if you haven't read it yet, DO IT. And then
remember that the books just get better from here, exponentially
better' Goodreads reviewer,
