Welcome to Litsy!

Book 8 is another great installment.
A little spice, lots of drama, LOADS of action & some humor.

A mercenary swordswoman, a werelion, a teenage sensate & a warlord having dinner at Applebees is a bit funny. The series continues not to take itself too seriously while still developing the characters & taking them to the brink in unique ways.

I really do enjoy Ilona Andrews's writing. It is fun, creative, and every so often gems like this are dropped in. "

Number 8 of this series. I never get tired of reading about Kate and Curran. @StayCurious #Scarathlon2022. #TBRList #TeamMonsterMash #Spookoween @Catsandbooks #31by31Readathon @Catsandbooks Read 31 hours so far this month. #Witchathon @mdm139 Definitely there are witches in this series.

Today‘s #LittensDressedinBlood prompt:
Zombie Squad

I would love having the Kate Daniel‘s crew on my side in a battle against zombies.

Hell of an ending section there (meaning the last chapter, not the epilogue). So epic.

I'm managing to keep a one book lead over my wife's reading spree, but the lead is narrowing...

Kate and Curran have discovered that living in suburbia comes with its own battles. When the monsters follow you home and are ripped apart on the front lawn, it might push some neighbors over the edge. Each of these books are sheer adrenaline filled action. And don‘t forget the sarcastic humor between Curran and Kate that makes it all the more entertaining. #fantasy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I don't know how this woman does it but each book just gets better and better in this series. Which is insane cause they were all so damn good before that I didn't think anything could be better! Only 2 books left now.

🤣🤣🤣
Curran-“He was putting things into the mailbox. I was passing by and I said “hello, nice night.” And then I smiled. He jumped into his truck and slammed the door.”
Kate-“So you sneaked up behind him, startled him by speaking, and when he turned around and saw a six-hundred-pound talking lion, you showed him your teeth?”
Curran-“I don‘t think that‘s what happened.”

I've read all the books I had for this month's swaps and clubs and such so I'm starting this one. I only have 3 books left in the series so I've been trying to hold off cause I'm so not ready for it to end yet but I can't hold out anymore. I miss Kate and her world! So here we go!

Kate and Curran are learning how to be something other than Beast Lord and Consort; Kate is also getting the feel for being responsible for Atlanta; and K&C need to find Eduardo without mucking up Pack waters. Lots going on (though less than the previous installment) and it‘s all awesome.

This series started out slow for me but it has constantly improved and I give this five of five stars.

Eduardo has disappeared and Kate and Curran need to figure out what could kidnap a werebison. Answer: something that requires a lot of their kick-ass firepower.

Almost done with my series reread! (Now to read down my library stack a bit!)

All the Kate Daniel books are good.

Yet another amazing edition to the series. When a friend is kidnapped by a djinn, Kate drops everything to help. The reader learns more about Curran's adopted parent, Mahon and his weird views on how werebears are the greatest of all shapeshifters. Kate has dinner with her dad. Excited for the next one!

Kate Daniels is a #dangeroustype being a supernatural mercenary, fathered by an ancient god. #RockinMay

"I rode through the night-drenched streets of Atlanta on a mammoth donkey. The donkey's name was Cuddles." What a way to start a book. I love this series.

Kate Daniels everyone. The girl with the lion 🦁 who kicks butt and sucks me into every book. This one was a lot more fun than the last book! Sad I'm catching up so quickly!

So I didn't finish this fall and picking it up again now. Forgot my love for Kate

Another excellent installment in a fantastic series. Lots of action and plot, still more characters (both entirely new and familiar names) and the occasional delightful slice of daily life. Another recommendation!

When you should be reading for #tometopple but that paranormal series is calling your name, it is hard to say no.

I thought I loved Kate as much as possible but she just fit in my favorite phrase so....😍👍

Loved this one too....this series is fantastic! ❤️ #romantsy

A big part of why I ❤️ this series so much is its humor....laugh-out-loud, bellyaching humor. And here it begins in the very first paragraph! 😂

Time to get back to this series...can't wait to catch up with Kate and Curran! ❤️ #romantsy #osrbc

Possibly my favorite of the series so far. Suspense, action, romance. Were-lions, were-tigers, were-bears, oh, my!

Excellent performance by Renee Raudman.

Another fabulous instalment with our favourite ass kicker, Kate. The action was non stop again with another clever storyline keeping Kate on her toes. My only minus here was that there wasn't enough Derek!

Next up, more Kate! ⚔🦁

LOVED it!! These are consistently good which I find usually doesn't happen in a longer running series.

Hands down my favorite series. I love a heroine who knows life hurts and making the right choices will cost her but does it anyway. Great writing, well done character development and a cool plot for each book plus great over arching plots make this series phenomenal.

i don't know how you get 8 books into a series and have them get better & better, but Andrews manage it. SHIFTS might be my favorite yet, and not least because Curran & Kate are still Fighters Extraordinaire, but also now firmly embedded in a community. so much ❤️!
