Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews

Kate Daniels cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to deal with-especially if they involve Atlanta's shapeshifting community.

And now there's a new player in town-a foe that may be too much for even Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. Because this time, Kate will be taking on family.

Warning: Spoilers. Lots and lots of spoilers

Magic Bleeds is the fourth Kate Daniels novel. It is pretty good, fast moving, with lots of action. It is also the most romantic book to date.

Magic Bleeds book is a game changer. She moves in with Curran, and tells him and her best friend both who her family is. Considering her issues with him at the beginning of the book and her considerable issues with trust, these are both biggies. And not to be overlooked, she also quits the Order. So, yeah, major changes.

Despite all that drama, there are funny moments. For example, Curran glued her ass to her office chair (mostly in retaliation). This was the best moment in the whole book.

Her aunt shows up and tries to kill her. Her aunt looks just like her, and really, it is just as well her Order boss never got a good look at the aunt. The aunt tries to kill her. She said something about waking up a few years ago, and I have to wonder, what woke her up? Why was she asleep? Maybe these questions will be answered later.

But even if they are not, there is little doubt in my mind that her father will shortly become aware of her presence (if he isn’t already!) and then the shit will hit the fan.

Grade: A-
