Review: Magic Dreams by Ilona Andrews


The fantasy writing husband and wife team of George and Ilona Andrews do it again. Their last e-book, Magic Dreams, shows why they have one of the fast growing group of followers of the last decade.

Magic Dreams is the latest offering in the popular Kate Daniels series set in post-technology Atlanta. In this book the focus isn't on Kate Daniels and Curran, the Beast Lord, but on Jim, Alpha of the cat clan and chief of security, and Dali, the mystical vegetarian white were-tiger.

The story begins as Dali comes home after another racing accident only to find Jim out cold in her house. When she revives Jim he tells her of how he found one of the clan outpost abandoned of all except for a strange woman and some odd writing on the floor. He needs her help since she is their only magic user. The two of them go back to the outpost to figure out what could be behind the abandoned post, the strange woman and why Jim can't remember much of what he saw and keeps falling asleep. Once they get to the outpost Dali quickly realizes that she might be in over her head.

Dali takes Jim to the one person with more knowledge about this type of magic her mom. At her mother's house Dali finds that Jim is slowly dieing and the only thing that will save him is the golden snail. There is one problem to get what they need they must travel the underground of Atlanta and try to avoid the poachers that prey on shape-shifters.

As with all of the books in the series this one is packed with mythology, magic, fights and romance. It is a fast read that everyone can enjoy.
