MAGIC BITES
Written by: Ilona Andrews
Brief Synopsis: Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren't for magic...
When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while the guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic receeds as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake.
Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kate's guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta's magic circles.
The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizzare killings - and the death of Kate's guardian may be part of the same mystery. Pressured by both sides to find the kiler, Kate realizes she's way out of her league - but she wouldn't have it any other way...

I absolutely loved loved loved this book. I love the characters and I love the storyline and I think the premise of the story is brilliant. This author has moved to the top of my favorite author list. Not only is the book compelling it is very funny as well. Several times I caught myself laughing outloud. Another good aspect is that unlike most dark fantasies, it doent linger on the sexual and erotic aspects found in most....here it is not a worry....there isn't any....and although there is a possible budding romance.....it sticks to the story...
One of the best dark urban fantasies I have read to date. I definately recommend it.
