Book Review of Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Bk 1)

Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Bk 1)

An absolute struggle to read. None of the characters were interesting, especially the main character, Kate. Kate is a complete caricature of a leading, strong woman with no payoff whatsoever. Her gruffness seems forced and unnatural and like too many other fantasy females, her powers are used in the battle between males with her taking no real authority. The introduction to this new future magic world was incredibly forced and it felt like everything is dumped on you at once without explanation (also the magic world building is completely uninteresting). The forced innuendo into Kate and Curran's feelings about each other was painful and completely unbelievable.

Overall, this book was an absolute mess and I consider myself a saint for getting through it.

I don't know if things get better further into the series, and I have less than zero desire to find out.
