Drunk vikings make everything better.

A novella from the world of Kate Daniels, it seems that Magic Gifts should have been read prior to Gunmetal Magic as it takes place at the same time as certain events from the beginning of the latter book, letting us see what Kate was up to whilst Andrea was stomping around the city in beastkin form. However, reading it a little out of order didn’t diminish the experience at all. Starting with a rare dinner date for Kate and Curran, they’re soon up to […]

Gunmetal Magic, or, how I managed to ruin Raphael for myself…

April 4, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

A slight detour in my Kate Daniels read-a-thon, Gunmetal Magic is actually a side novel apparently set between books 5 & 6 – and it’s a side novel I’d have had no clue existed if it wasn’t for the kind Cannonballers who mentioned it, so a big thank you to you all! Until this point we’ve been reading about the adventures of Kate – former merc, now the Consort to the Beast Lord and possessor of a smoking sword and dodgy blood – as she’s […]

A brief detour from my Kate Daniels adventures

April 4, 2018 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

My friend, who almost exclusively reads best-selling thrillers, has been on my ass for the past year to try and get me to read The Girl On The Train. I’ve finally taken the plunge and, while it was a good read, I must say I think it’s been ever so slightly over-hyped. Rachel takes the same train every day, and most days spots the same couple along her journey into and out of London. Living close to her former home, which is now inhabited by […]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

I’ve reached the fifth of the Kate Daniels series, Magic Slays, where Kate finds herself in a bit of a limbo. Having quit the Order, Curran has set her up with her own business, Cutting Edge Investigations, where she’s been joined by her friend Andrea but where clients seem be to pretty thin on the ground. To top things off, her ward Julie has been expelled from her fancy school having run away again, and is currently en route to the Keep where she’s intent […]

It doesn’t look like I’ll be reading anything other than Kate Daniels for a while…

March 26, 2018 by TheShitWizard 4 Comments

I’m having a lot of fun reading the Kate Daniels series, so much so that I’ve just gone and bought the rest of the series, and I’m ploughing straight on into Magic Bleeds where we find Kate pissed when Curran doesn’t show up to the home-cooked and served in underwear dinner that she’d promised. Which is how, instead of snogging a werelion, she finds herself instead investigating a bar fight which has led not only to a shapeshifter fatality but also an explosion of supernatural […]

It’s getting hot in here

March 24, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

As promised by Emmalita and others, the Kate Daniels series really hits its stride in its third outing Magic Strikes, as Kate finds herself fighting in gladiatorial rings and snogging in hot tubs, while Atlanta continues to be rocked by magic waves. Now working for the Order, although not a Knight, Kate is put into a difficult position when her teenaged werewolf friend, Derek, makes her promise to keep a secret. With Derek then turning up near dead, attacked by a band of Reapers, Kate’s […]
