“This is the sequel to "Magic Bites" where we once again are following the adventures of Kate Daniels, a mercenary who cleans up after magic has gone wrong. This time there is a little girl who is mixed up in a power struggle between two gods. This time the same cast of characters that we meet in the previous book return to harass, seduce, and confuse Kate until she doesn't know which way to turn.
This book is heavily steeped in Celtic lore and mythology. We have one Celtic god who wants human form and will do anything he must to achieve that purpose. And we have another god, who has sent a servant to prevent this from happening. Throw in Curran, the Beast Lord, who is showing signs of stranger behavior around Kate, and Ghastek is back as the Master of the Dead controlling his vampires to learn about the new bad in town.
For those who didn't guess about the magic of Kate's blood, that little tidbit is answered in the second book. I'm am interested to know where the author plans to take this series. She left enough unsaid to interest me in looking forward to the next book which has a tentative title of "Midnight Games" and should be released sometime in 2009.
BTW, if you're wondering how did I get a copy of this book when it doesn't release until April 1, 2008. I can't tell you all my secrets, now can I? If you enjoyed the first book, you will not be disappointed with the sequel. This is a must for those who love urban fantasy.
