Magic Bites
by Ilona Andrews
I found this book so much fun. The mystery element was great and I really liked following Kate on her adventure.
I think some of Kate's snark/sarcasm was a little bit too much for me. It felt almost too cutesy and over the top. I also am very much not a fan of the romance, although it's only just begun. The alpha male thing makes me cringe. It didn't affect my opinion much on this book because it was such a small element, but I'm not looking forward to more of that in the future.
I also found a lot of the magic/world hard to follow. I don't know if it wasn't explained well or if I was struggling because I don't read much urban fantasy, but I did spend a lot of time confused. The beginning was a bit boring to me and it wasn't until the halfway point that I really cared about anything, but after that I was really invested and enjoying the ride.
Definitely looking forward to continuing on, but at this point I'm not certain I will commit to the whole series.
