About this listen

In the second book in number-one New York Times best-selling author Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series, tempers - and temperatures - are rising!

A mercenary in magic-torn Atlanta who cleans up after magic gone wrong, Kate Daniels has seen it all - and some things she couldn't even have imagined. Normally, waves of paranormal energy ebb and flow like an ocean current. But once every seven years, a paranormal flare comes and brings magic like a tidal wave. Now Kate faces problems on a much bigger scale: a divine one.

When Kate sets out to retrieve a set of stolen maps for the Pack, Atlanta's paramilitary organization of shapeshifters, she quickly realizes the stakes. During a flare, gods and goddesses can manifest and battle for power. The stolen maps are only the first contest in an epic tug-of-war between two gods hoping for rebirth. And if Kate can't stop their cataclysmic showdown, the city may not survive.

Superb storytelling

Goosebumps. I am in love with the series and this storytelling. I am so invested in the characters and the plots, the humor is almost lost on me. And I value humor. Guess I am finding out that a well written story can have integral components I value more. The plots have plots, and then there are glimpses of an underlying plot. The world building is amazing. The heroine as well, plus quite a few major secondary characters. The story has everything, and everything is in a class of it´s own. Just wow. Interesting, fun and gripping story. And storytelling at it´s finest. Brilliant authors and a perfect narrator. Thank you.

Where is book five in the series Audible? (Have already bought the rest)

Good Story, Not So Much The Narration

I liked the story, the mosters, the characters etc but I'm sorry to say the narrator's choice of voice for some of the characters drove me nuts. Two male characters were described as handsome or good looking but she gave one a dopey voice and the other started as a Dick Van Dyke impression from Mary Poppins then I really couldn't understand what his accent was supposed to be after that. Spoilt the audio for me. Some reviewers from the first book didn't like her character voices but it wasn't an issue for me with that book but this one I almost gave up on. I'll download the next one to see if it improves, if not I will sadly have to abandon this series.

My favourite narrator and author

To my mind, this is the book where Kate really begins to start forming relationships and the story moves those relationships on at a nice pace.

Compelling

Another installment of the Kate Daniels saga. Great story, love the interactions between Kate and Curran, can't help but smile and wonder if they will ever get together.
Ilona Andrews is a brilliant story teller, she creates such complex and amazing characters that draw you in from the start. I am so invested in Kate and Curran and can't wait to see where their story takes them.
Renee does a great job of bringing the book to life and conveying the emotions of the moment.

Magic Burns

Another great story following her life, we learn more about her and what she is hiding from, also she takes use through folk law and legends as she tried to work out friend or foe. Great action and battles scenes along with tender and reflection. Read brilliantly again by Renee Raudman.

Great Book Brilliantly Read

Whilst the first book in this series was good - this one is excellent, probably because the scene setting was all done in book 1 this one just kicks off and you are hooked from page 1
Renee Raudmans narration is perfect and I would give it 6 stars if possible

My only moan is the rest of the series is all recorded - for example I can buy book 3 on Audio CD from Amazon UK for £25.00! but its not on Audible - in fact none of the rest of this series is on Audible UK (though all but books 3 and 4 are on the US site) so having to resort to Kindle for the rest which is fine when I have time to sit and read but not so good when I want to listen whilst doing other things.
Also the Narrator is one of those rare ones whose performance is actually better than just reading the book so its a bit annoying.

I wouldn't let it put you off the series though as long as you dont mind reading rather than listening
