It’s time for “Magic Strikes” by Illona Andrews, the wonderful husband-wife writing team of the Kate Daniels series. I can’t wait to get more of the Atlanta paranormal team. Illona is particularly good with her (their?) world building, I find the setting fascinating and the magic well done. The writing is quick and easy to read and Magic Strikes has earned 4.5 stars on the Romantic Times review. The balance between action, romance, mystery and character development is well done.

“Andrews’ crisp dialogue and layered characterization make the gut-wrenching action of this first-person thrill ride all the more intense. … Place your book orders now; it’s worth every penny!”
Drafted into working for the Order of Merciful Aid, mercenary Kate Daniels has more paranormal problems than she knows what to do with these days. And in Atlanta, where magic comes and goes like the tide, that’s saying a lot.
But when Kate’s werewolf friend Derek is discovered nearly dead, she must confront her greatest challenge yet. As her investigation leads her to the Midnight Games – an invitation only, no holds barred, ultimate preternatural fighting tournament – she and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, uncover a dark plot that may forever alter the face of Atlanta’s shapeshifting community.
