So I’m having one of those days.

You know the kind of days.  The ones where the universe is merrily doing a tapdance on my head.  I’ve had leaks in my carport, leaks in the bathroom, a hole pushed in the ceiling in said bathroom, fallen boxes, much argh…  One of those kinds of days.

For me there are a few ways to deal with those kinds of days.  Usually there is a lot of comfort food involved, but most particularly I find myself diving headfirst into a book.  It’s nice to take a break from the crazy of the day to go visit someone else’s little world and someone else’s concerns.  I like books for these days which are fast reads which don’t tax my brain too much but have a satisfying combination of plot and character.  Today I’m reading Magic Strikes.  I say now…BUY THIS BOOK.  Tomorrow will be the review.

What comfort books do you reach for when you’re having one of those days?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It’s time for “Magic Strikes” by Illona Andrews, the wonderful husband-wife writing team of the Kate Daniels series. I can’t wait to get more of the Atlanda paranormal team. Illona is particularly good with her (their?) world building, I find the setting fascinating and the magic well done. The writing is quick and easy to read and Magic Strikes has earned 4.5 stars on the Romantic Times review. The balance between action, romance, mystery and character development is well done.

“Andrews’ crisp dialogue and layered characterization make the gut-wrenching action of this first-person thrill ride all the more intense. … Place your book orders now; it’s worth every penny!”
–Jill M. Smith, Romantic Times, 4.5 Stars, Top Pick, GOLD standard

Drafted into working for the Order of Merciful Aid, mercenary Kate Daniels has more paranormal problems than she knows what to do with these days. And in Atlanta, where magic comes and goes like the tide, that’s saying a lot.

But when Kate’s werewolf friend Derek is discovered nearly dead, she must confront her greatest challenge yet. As her investigation leads her to the Midnight Games - an invitation only, no holds barred, ultimate preternatural fighting tournament - she and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, uncover a dark plot that may forever alter the face of Atlanta’s shapeshifting community.
