5 SIGNS THAT YOU'VE BEEN INFECTED WITH THE KATE DANIELS VIRUS 
 1. That knife you used to butter your toast? It now has a name. 
 2. You relate everything in the real world back to the Kate Daniels world and start making the cheesiest jokes. 
 3. You said "Katelanta." Even once. 
 4. Lions. How hot are they?! --> This is a legitimate thought. 
 5. You're panicked that your Kindle battery will run out mid book because you usually charge it while sleeping but you haven't been sleeping because of this series! 
 There is so much MORE in Magic Strikes. We get more of Kate's back story, more of Curran's back story, more of Kate and Curran's present story... Hold on while I go back and reread EVERY scene with them. 
 Derek has quickly emerged as a favorite character as well. He's like a mix of Warren and Ben from Mercy Thompson wrapped up in a pretty package. And Doolittle! Who doesn't love Doolittle! 
 As in the previous books, the word/foreplay in this is off the charts. It's a slow, simmering burn and yet the effect is scorching. 
 Rating: 4.5 stars. 
 Okay, on to Book 4. Curran is a hell of a drug.
