BL: Magic Bites (Andrews, Ilona)
Ilona Andrews, Magic Bites
Ace (2007) ISBN: 978-0-441-01489-7
Score: 1.5
Start of an urban fantasy series about a mercenary in a future that fluctuates between magic or science working (but never both at once). I'm not sure the setting makes sense if looked at closely (the theory about why phones often work during magic but cars don't doesn't make any sense, but it's stated by a character who isn't an expert). As usual the heroine is Special, but she tries really, really hard to keep anyone from noticing (she isn't very successful in this book). While I liked the characters, the plot had a few holes that make me wary of continuing the series.
Next Book: Monk and Nigel Ashland, Kaimira: the Sky Village
