MAGIC BINDS is book 9 in the infinitely excellent urban
fantasy Kate Daniels series by husband and wife
writers Ilona Andrews. It's hard to conceive that book 9
is even better than all the preceding books, but, defying
the law of averages for a book series, Magic Binds is the
strongest book yet in my opinion. I loved Kate Daniels
(such a smartass mercenary!) immediately in book 1, and my
love for the characters and the series has only grown
deeper and stronger as the series progresses. Magic Binds
is a book that I hugged excitedly to my breast
murmuring "My Precious" as soon as I got it in my hot
little hands. I tried to read it as slowly as possible,
because I don't want it to end.
Kate Daniels and her fiancé, the former Beast Lord
Curran Lennart, are now living together, separated from the
shapeshifter Pack that Curran used to rule. They are heads
of a Mercenary Guild that tackles problems no one else
wants to in this world of dangerous magic. They are trying
to keep their created-not-blood family safe. They are
planning their shortly-upcoming wedding. And, oh by the
way, they are battling Kate's father, the evil Nimrod, as
he tries to take Atlanta from Kate on his way to conquering
the planet. There is a crap ton of stuff going on here,
with lots of balls being juggled that keeps the story
marching along tautly. The excellently-placed snark and
flat-out humor provides a lovely counterpoint to the
growing tension as lots of crazy and dangerous things
happen. This book will keep you on your toes!
This is a series that should definitely be read in
order. The good news is, if you are just discovering this
amazing world now, you have 9 books plus a number of
novellas to wallow in gleefully. I re-read this series to
date about once a year because I adore it so much. This
epic series deserves every wonderful superlative in the
book. We're clearly approaching the big battle between
Kate and her father for the fate of the world, and I'm on
tenterhooks to know what will happen next. MAGIC BINDS is
a must-read urban fantasy showcasing the unbelievable
exceptionality of Ilona Andrews, and a book you simply
cannot afford to miss.
The new, “heart-stopping” (Fresh Fiction) novel in the
New York Times bestselling series that “defines urban
fantasy.”*
Mercenary Kate Daniels knows all too well that magic
in post-Shift Atlanta is a dangerous business. But nothing
she’s faced could have prepared her for this...
Kate and the former Beast Lord Curran Lennart are finally
making their relationship official. But there are some steep
obstacles standing in the way of their walk to the altar...
Kate’s father, Roland, has kidnapped the demigod Saiman and
is slowly bleeding him dry in his never-ending bid for
power. A Witch Oracle has predicted that if Kate marries the
man she loves, Atlanta will burn and she will lose him
forever. And the only person Kate can ask for help is long dead.
The odds are impossible. The future is grim. But Kate
Daniels has never been one to play by the rules...
