I'm high on Kate Daniels! Yay! I consider myself as heavily in love. I loved "Magic Bites". I adored "Magic Burns" even more. Houston, we have a problem! No 1000000-star rating in GR. Damn. Kate Daniels is simply mind-blowing. Ok. I need a minute to keep myself in order. *tries to stop drooling, rolling on the floor and chanting: Kate is awesome* 
 "Magic Burns" pays a great deal of attention to Kate as a character. "Magic Bites" has already showed that she is a rough-tough warrior, witty and just charming. And "Magic Burns" revealed that she can be down-to-earth, even vulnerable and caring (I loved her maternal side with Julie). 
 "I'm a substitute mom." 
 "You're more like a crazy aunt who only gets called when somebody needs bailing out of jail. 
 I felt that her character is far more real, human and showing her as not a perfect super-duper girl, I. Andrews did a great job, giving her such a realistic appeal. What is more she is witty, entertaining and her interaction with others was amazing. Kate dropped me straight into the action. Like the first book, "Magic Burns" is not a long read, but every page has magic, fighting, mystery, adventure and monsters inside I think this book suggested me an even better world building with sea-demons, deadly Ariels with poisonous claws and teeth 
 Celtic mythology and overpowering magic. Not forgetting the gripping finale and some romance notes. The story hooked me up from the beginning till the end, though I wanted to have more information about some other characters, but I guess other books will satisfy this need. It's a pity that I. Andrews killed the witty teleporting Robin Hood, I enjoyed his character and he definitely had a spark. Mr. Here, kitty, kitty also helped a lot, because the situation is just well known: A stubborn kick ass heroine and a rough-tough stubborn man, fighting to get their HEA, and I. Andrews presented it in a funny, gripping and entertaining way. 
 "You were joking about the whole please and thank you thing, right?" 
 "Meant every word." A little light danced in his eyes and he very deliberately said, "Baby." 
 No. 
 He laughed. "You should see your face right now." 
 "Don't call me that." 
 "Would you prefer 'darling'? Or maybe 'cupcake'?" He winked. 
 So, where can I sign my soul's ownership to I. Andrews?
