Review
First, before I even start go ahead and scroll back up…awesome Urban Fantasy cover right?!?!
I don’t know about anyone else but I get in these moods sometime were I just want to read characters that I know and love. It’s like going to my mom's house and eating her cooking…it just makes me happy! I guess that’s a big reason I reread books I love, to revisit the characters I have grown to care so much about. So when I saw on the Ilona Andrews blog there was a new Kate Daniels novella with a shiny red bow on it just waiting to be unwrapped, it made my Christmas a lot brighter:)
If you have not read this series don’t start here! The Kate Daniels series is awesome and well worth the first five reads.
Kate and Curran find themselves trying to save a child from a deadly necklace when all they wanted was a nice evening out. Magic Gifts is such a fun installment to the Kate Daniels world. I loved all the Norse Mythology that was woven through, and all the crazy drunk Vikings. Who accepted anyone as long as they liked acting like a Viking too…or what they considered a Viking. If you have read Magic Gifts, did you think to yourself, "Oh I know people that would go live with the Vikings?”
My absolute favorite part of Magic Gifts was all the banter between Kate and Curran. I don’t know if it was just me, but I was laughing out loud, they where hilarious. I ate up their back and forth antics (like all the Christmas candy I’ve been eating) like there is no tomorrow.
I am even more excited for Gunmetal Magic which is Andreas book, and is set to release August 2012.
Happy Reading,
Loved it! I want to know about everything this author writes.
