Magic Claims by Iona Andrews A Spoiler Free Review

If you've been reading our Must Read Authors features that have been posted throughout June, then you already know I'm a massive Ilona Andrews fan and the Kate Daniel's world.

​Blurb About The Book
A new town, new friends, new challenges…. And a new heart-stopping adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews. Kate, Curran, and Conlan may have left Atlanta for Wilmington, but the usual magic mayhem has also hitched a ride!

Kate and Curran have just settled into their new home and their 'low profile,' when a local businessman approaches them with an offer they can’t refuse. A mysterious evil has spawned in the nearby forest and is holding a defenseless town hostage. The ‘due date’ is rapidly approaching.

It’s exactly the kind of fight the Lennarts can’t resist, not for the prize the town offers, but for the people who will surely die if they ignore it. If they succeed, they’ll be rescuing an entire community and can build a strong new base for their family and the Wilmington Pack. If they fail...well, fail is a four-letter word.

Nothing comes without a price. Now Kate must decide if she has what it takes to pay it.

General Review
Magic Claims picks up shortly after the end of book 1, taking us back into Kate and Curran during their Wilmington years. I loved jumping back into this world, in a new location, but the same problems as Kate and Curran, and now Conlan, seem to draw to them no matter how normal they would like life to be. But when you are the daughter of God and your husband was the Beast Lord of the pack, normal isn't quite on the table, is it?

There are a lot of things that Kate comes to realize in this book, vital things, and it sets the series wide open for interaction with old friends...and family that has been distant - BUT no spoilers so let's just say that I'd expect a crossover or two in the next book...whenever that might come out. 

One of my fave things is the interactions between Curran and Conlan, and Kate and Conlan, and how they both have vital roles to play in Conlan's story.

Final Thoughts
A must-read for fans of the series, or new readers once they've gotten caught up.

Rating:
An easy 5 stars from me!
