By: Ilona Andrews

Narrated by: Renée Raudman

Length: 13 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

Plagued by a war between magic and technology, Atlanta has never been so deadly. Good thing Kate Daniels is on the job. She may have quit the Order of Merciful Aid, but she's still knee-deep in paranormal problems. Or she would be if she could get someone to hire her. Starting her own business has been more challenging than she thought it would be - now that the Order is disparaging her good name, and many potential clients are afraid of getting on the bad side of the Beast Lord, who just happens to be Kate's mate.

So when Atlanta's premier Master of the Dead calls to ask for help with a vampire on the loose, Kate leaps at the chance of some paying work. Turns out this is not an isolated incident, and Kate needs to get to the bottom of it - fast, or the city and everyone dear to her might pay the ultimate price.

Great read

It was another great Kate story. I love the interaction between her and Curran and the love she has for “her kid”. The performance makes it even better because the narrator knows the characters so well and you can feel it in her voice

Love this series

Love these books! We re-listen at least once or twice a year! Thank you!

So good!

If you love fantasy then this book is a must read / listen. What are you waiting for?

And the magic continues

It is nice to see Kate coming into her own. This is urban fantasy as it should be written.

Awesome Listen

Any additional comments?

I have just finished listening to the series 1 through 5 and am yearning for more!! Characters come alive and scenes are colorfully described. I cant wait to see if the author continues this saga!! A must read in my opinion

As always, a wonderful story!

Ilona Andrews has yet to fail in their story writing, and I hope I never experience a disappointment from them. The story pulls you in, and you can't stop listening until it's finished. I went on random drives and got to places early just so I could get a few more minutes in. I can't wait for my next credit, so I can listen to the next installment for the series!

Love this series

Very abrupt endings but it makes me want to read the next book. Love the idea of magic in modern times.

Freakin Love this Series!!!

I just finished book 5 and now re-listening to it cause I'm not ready to move on! The story has gotten better and better, I love the characters and learning more about them. I love the humor, the sarcasm, the raw emotions.. it feels real. Renee has really nailed so many of the characters and her voice skills are excellent - she really brings me into the story with her narration. I am dying for the rest of the series to be on Audible! READ THIS SERIES!!!

Fantastic - even as a stand alone book

Where does Magic Slays rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Oh my goodness.... a must read! Fantastic story. I think even if someone read just this book that they'd be very pleased!

Admittedly this book took a bit to get into. It was slow in the beginning compared to the others. I think I was trying to figure out where this was going to be going. Once I did the flow was fine. I'm weird like that I guess. Anyways, I ended up loving this sooo much! Derek, God you cant help but love that guy. He's 19 but damn he just doesnt seem like it does he? Julie although she's not in this much I really wanted to kill her. Did she not realize Kate was sending her to school for her own protection? Kids...but it ended up kind of working out for her in the end school wise. Andrea is back after disappearing for awhile. I'll get into the in between novellas after I finish the series. I think that will reveal quite a bit about Andrea. Ascanio was a character! 15 year old bouda clan member who is on his way to being a manwhore like all the other males in the clan. He is very good looking for such a young age which is why its easy for him to get what he wants. He's spoiled but he does come into his own after Kate and Derek take him in hand. Otherwise his life is over if he cant be controlled. Sad yet but its reality. Kate was his last resort and Curran of course set THAT in motion which pissed her off. She understood and agreed with him she just doesnt like being manipulated by him. He does finally understand he can't do those things. I swear Curran and Kate just work! She's got her doubts as well she should. They do have a few heart to hearts and its rather sweet and hilarious. I just love the humor in these books. I cant wait too read what is next. I'm a little over halfway done. I know this duo is only planning a book 10 then it will be done. Thats the rumor anyways. Thats gonna be a doozy I think. Thats going to be on hell of a fight with Roland and I dont think everyone will come out unscathed. Loved the book and just bought the next. I'll get to it soon. Oh...I think my favorite part was when Kate had to act as Alpha in Curran's stead while he searched for a rogue of the Pack. How she handled Jennifer was awesome. I laughed sooo hard. God that woman just wont give it up. Jennifer does get shaken up in a big way later and its pretty sad.
