This hits a 4 on the embarrassment scale, but a 5 on the awesome read scale! I love this series.Kate Daniels is a mercenary on loan to the Knights of Merciful Aid who is also a friend of the pack (shapeshifters) and the daughter of a powerful, immortal wizard/vampire controller. All of this takes place in a future, alternate Atlanta. Fantastic!
This third book in the series also throws in an underground fight circuit which arranges matches to the death between whatever creatures want to participate.
Kate and her furry future mate, Curran, join forces to save their friend Derek and to defeat an evil nonhuman fight team. In the course of events, Kate chops up a number of people with her sword and uses some magic that reveals her to those in the know as her father's daughter.
All in all, a fantastic (pun intended) story with humor, action, romance (just a hint) and philosophy. What I really like about the author is that she manages to get all this packed into 320 pages instead of the 700 or so that a fantasy blockbuster usually takes. This is a light read with a lot of texture. I highly recommend it despite the humiliation of being seen on the bus with this book cover. Ouch!
