Publisher's Summary

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.

These are such great Audible books!

Action, drama, romance, magic, gratuitous violence, shapeshifters, witches and monsters... What else do you need? Oh there’s heroes and heroines too! This series rocks! Excellent delivery by the narrator.

entertaining, fast pace adventures

love the narrator, her different voices keep me entertained. great story , can't wait to listen to the rest audiobooks.

Best Series Ever

You can't go wrong with this series. I've listened to and read several times. Kate Daniels is awesome and Curran is the best alpha. Octavia gets all the voices just right. I'll have to listen again next year.

Better and Better

Magic Burns is the second book in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews and delves deeper into Kate's world. Renee Raudman made me cry at the end, so kudos to her for that! This series continues to get better and better and I eagerly look forward to the next book.

love it

she really has gotten the different gender n voices down by the 2nd book, love it....knowing how to narrate a book us a big part of whether people will enjoy it or not. shes one of my fav

Complex world building, no romance

The story is complex with so much detail in the magical world and mystery/issue to be solved that it requires significant focus for an audio format. If you're listening while doing other tasks expect to rewind frequently. If you're looking for romance this probably isn't the book for you. There is an attraction between the heroine and the lion (the characters gracing every cover) but "slow burn" doesn't even touch the painful pace of their interactions. The story is definitely written by a talented author and told by a talented narrator. I will probably continue the series but for me it is a story better suited for reading when I can focus and not when in the mood for easy entertainment.

Better and Better!

I literally cannot get enough of Kate, she's a smart ass after my own heart!

enjoyed the reading

this is the second audio book purchased and the story is solid. real character development. thoroughly enjoyable

Fun and Exciting

the story is interesting and has some originality but like all good books it's the characters and relationships that make it good

Loved the 2 Books, is there a 3rd Book? Is there

Loved the 2 Books. Is there going to be a 3rd? If so I would love to read it.

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
