It took me a year to the day, but I finally finished this book! I had a hard time getting past the first couple of chapters - they just couldn't hold my attention, and the world took some getting used to, with its alternating phases of magic and tech in an alien future Atlanta, Georgia. Kate Daniels is a mercenary who cleans up the problems magic leaves in its wake. When her guardian is killed she is determined to discover who did it, and it brings her in the midst of a brewing war between the vampires and shapechangers.

The story picked up somewhere in the middle and actually piqued my interest after all. However, I really could not see what the rave reviews were all about. I thought both story and character lacked depth and the end was rather abrupt, but it does have potential. I was intrigued by the secret of Kate's origin and a little disappointed that it was not revealed here, but that does encourage me to read the next book. I did enjoy it overall, but this isn't a keeper. Good thing I got it from a friend's Kindle account for free!
