Magic Rises<\/a><\/em> (2013) Ilona Andrews<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is book six of the Kate Daniels series. If you have not read the previous books, you are almost certainly going to be confused.<\/p>\n

Andrea is now beta of the Bouda clan, Curran knows about Kate’s background (as do more and more people), Hugh makes an appearance, and Aunt B continues to make her presence known.<\/p>\n

Curran is asked to come to Europe (Georgia, more specifically) to take on a job of mediation and bodyguarding a pregnant shape-shifter.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, bad things happen. A lot of bad things.<\/p>\n

Not to say that there isn’t levity.<\/p>\n

\u201cA young djigit stopped by my room,\u201d I said. \u201cHis name is Volodja and for three thousand dollars he will walk me deep into the mountains and show me where the bad shapeshifters live.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHow fortunate.\u201d Aunt B\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cWould you like some company for this wonderful trap, I mean, adventure?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But bad things do happen. I actually don’t have a problem with the bad things happening, since it’s kinda ridiculous how Kate and Curran keep walking away from their adventures, and how how few of their friends die.<\/p>\n

But, don’t even try to read this if you haven’t read the previous books, including Andrea’s book. And read the “bonus” short story in the back first.<\/p>\n
