Kate Daniels is back in book two of Ilona Andrews' urban fantasy series. Every seven years, a flare comes that allows magic to run rampant. The world is once again of the brink of a massive flare. Tech and magic are revolving in spans of minutes. As the flare gets closer, Kate is trying to retrieve stolen maps for the Pack, solve the mystery of a missing coven, keep the daughter of one of the coven witches safe, and then stop a god. Just a normal job for Kate Daniels. 
 I'm a bit in awe of Andrew's world building. While book one introduced a lot, Magic Burns continues to build on the mythology and landscape of this magic and tech torn Atlanta. Kate Daniels continues to be one of my favorite heroines. Sure she's kick-ass, but she's also tends to stick her foot in her mouth and is caring and snarky and sometimes emotional and just so damn likable. The side characters are all fleshed out really well and I love them all to bits even when they're frustrating me. I'm so glad that I finally picked up this series! It's the perfect mix of everything.
