Don’t rub her the wrong way…

April 21, 2018 by TheShitWizard 4 Comments

I’m trying to space the last of these books out a little but kind of failing at that thanks to how insanely readable they are, especially while real life is a little tough, so it’s nice to wrap myself up in a world that’s so easy to get lost in (even if the characters lives are infinitely more stressful than mine). Having made a deal with Roland following her claiming of Atlanta to step away from the Pack, Kate and Curran are trying to get […]

Getting closer to the end game…

April 15, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

The seventh book in the Kate Daniels series (I can’t believe how quickly I’m getting through these, I’m gonna have to start trying to drag these out a bit), Magic Breaks takes us back to Atlanta, where Kate and Curran are on high alert, knowing that Kate’s big secret is now known to Hugh d’Ambray. And sure enough, we’ve hardly been back five minutes before Hugh makes his play – having first had Curran lured away for a diplomatic hunt – and lays siege to […]

Flames…flames on the side of my face

April 8, 2018 by TheShitWizard 5 Comments

OK, I may be getting somewhat over-invested in these books, if the towering rage that I spent two thirds of it is anything to go by… When Kate and Curran are asked to travel to Europe to protect a pregnant shapeshifter from the two rival clans whose members may have impregnated her (and her Dad’s clan too, just because he’s a dick), they know that they are walking into a trap. Being aware of said trap, they’re pretty certain they can deal with whatever the […]

Drunk vikings make everything better.

April 5, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

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 […]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

March 31, 2018 by TheShitWizard 4 Comments

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 […]
