Dirty Magic was a great read. It is urban fantasy but focused on magic instead of on various supernatural species such as many UF series are that I've read. I felt it was a refreshing change from that. Oh don't get me wrong there was a type of were in this book but it was one brought on by a dirty magic potion rather then being a supernatural race. 
 I don't need no stinking magic! 
 Kate gave up all things magic ten years ago when her mother died from some dirty magic. She also comes from the wrong side of the tracks you could say and now works for the cops instead. A recent case has her hot to get assigned to a special task force to find the culprits behind the newest and nastiest dirty magic on the streets. She makes the team of course and the hunt is on. 
 When siblings raise each other 
 Kate has been raising her younger brother these past ten years and I really enjoyed the family dynamic this bit added to the storyline. While I really like Kate character she makes done classic parenting mistakes where her brother is concerned. These things totally got under my skin as I'm sure they were meant to. It was an excellently done portrayal of a sibling/parenting situation. 
 A little potential sizzle sizzle burn 
 It looks like there might be two possible heart throbs in Kate's future with forthcoming books. Thankfully Dirty Magic only sets up the possible scene for romantic entanglements, and I don't know which way the author will take things but I know I'm liking what has gone down thus far. 
 Thoughts on the audio narration 
 Excellently done!! I've become more and more hooked on audio books lately. I find what will really pull me in is how well the characterization is accomplished. If a narrator can pull off all the personalities and voices of the different characters such that it really feels like each of those people are real to me and not just being read to me then I know that is a winning narrator. Morgan Hallett was definitely able to do that and I'll be looking for more narrated by her.
