Magic Gifts by Ilona Andrews

Magic Gifts (Kate Daniels, #5.4)

by Ilona Andrews

It isn’t often that Kate Daniels and the Beast Lord Curran get to take a break from protecting their pack and enjoy some time for themselves. So when Curran offers Kate a romantic dinner in town, there’s no way she’s going to pass.

But their quiet night doesn’t stay quiet for long. The trouble starts with a necromancer dying at a nearby table, continues with bloodthirsty vampires crashing though the windows, and ends with more blood on the walls than any dining establishment needs.

Pulled into a deadly game neither wants to play, Kate and Curran find themselves dealing with the vile undead and tolerating a clan of maniacal, hard partying Vikings while desperately trying to save the life of an innocent child...

Magic Gifts previously appeared in Gunmetal Magic.

This was JUST what I needed to survive the wait between Kate Daniels books (hopefully Gunmetal Magic will help with that as well at the end of July). I actually really enjoyed the brief look into Kate and Curran's life and was very satisfied with how their relationship is progressing. You know, now that they're together, I had fears that their relationship would become complacent, but if the sixth book goes something like this, I think those fears will be assuaged.

With the world and characters already established, Magic Gifts really did feel like the perfect mini-story between books. So glad Kelly convinced me to read this one.


Magic Gifts was a free download I got from the author's website on December 29th, 2011.
