Sometimes, when I have a minute for myself, I'm dreaming about a perfect job. 
 Position: Kate's admirer. 
 Requirements: 
 1.	Read KD novels/novelettes/short stories/everything with KD in it.(+, already in progress!) 
 2.	Sigh faraway and say: "Oh Kate", while not reading. (+, yep, my cat thinks that Kate is his (yes, HIS) new name) 
 3.	Change your name into Kate Daniels.(-, My name is still Orient, but I'm not perfect :( and I'm working on it) 
 4.	Get a sword. (-, I can't use my grandmother's bones, 'cause she's alive and I love her very much, duh. As I said before, I'm not perfect, but I try. Anyway, I'm thinking about hunting some unicorns to extract some bones, 'cause I hate them and my hate can make their bones powerful (I suppose).) 
 5.	Find a cat-lion-to-be with an awful character. (+, Done, my super charming Mr. Cat, agreed to be the selfish, badass, spoiled, awesome Lord of the Beasts. He needs to practice the roaring scenes more, but other qualities are well developed <3) 
 If you think that you're suitable for this position, please contact I. Andrews for further information. 
 I'm ready! 
 Ok, enough about me, now let's talk about "Magic Shifts". This book has everything I love and look forward in KD books: sarcasm, awesome character development, wit, action-packed fighting scenes, an interesting touch of mythology with a gripping mystery and great dialogues that I. Andrews are famous for. It was nice to explore the middle-eastern and Islamic mythology and I just love to watch how I. Andrews use mythology to make their books gripping, interesting and unforgettable. 
 Also this book changed the plot dramatically and it turned upside down. I enjoyed reading about the changes Kate and Curran experienced, but at the same time I longed for the Pack's inner life. I wanted to return there, to know more how Jim and Dali are doing, read about the usual mess and problems. I just hope to get a good and entertaining glimpse into this world soon again. But it was definitely good to see Kate and Curran making their own happy family life outside the beasts' kingdom. 
 The plot didn't wander far from home and the main characters were focused on finding their lost friend, so there were no threats or danger from Kate's evil daddy or his crew and there were no interesting secrets from Kate's or Curran's past revealed. From this point of view the plot felt a little bit weaker for me. But at the same time it was fun to try something new and see how Kate and her team will handle it. Also I loved to meet my beloved characters from earlier book and the scene with sick Mahon almost broke my heart. It was so touching. 
 Oh, and one more thing. I was a little bit annoyed to lose the big, bad, wicked aunt as a perfect villain with great potential in "Magic Bleeds" and now I got Hugh destroyed. Oh, for goodness sake, where is this wonderful KD world going?! I want my pair of crazy, psycho, amazing villains back ASAP! Also I think there could have been more of the evil Daddy, I had only a short glimpse at him. It's time to kick his ass! 
 Kate's story is definitely getting interesting and gripping and I can't wait for her to show her great potential as every time she gets stronger with her magic and as a character.
