Summary
Ilona Andrews invites you to experience the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring the intriguing fantasy world of mercenary Kate Daniels…
When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake.
Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta’s magic circles.
The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizarre killings—and the death of Kate’s guardian may be part of the same mystery. Pressured by both sides to find the killer, Kate realizes she’s way out of her league—but she wouldn’t have it any other way...

meh.....
I've really tried to keep an open mind, and the story is good it just the narrator. kate's lost some of that emotion that made me fall for her, and doolittle doesn't sound the least bit southern, names mixed up, and accents keep dropping and picking up. honestly, it's not as bad as I'm making it, and I'm still gonna finish it. I just feel like it could've been better. but I love the idea of the dramatised version. although the random music that sometimes comes on in the background is a little distracting. finally, curan just doesn't have that charm anymore he just seems like a bipolar brute to me.

Ok
I love this whole series and I wanted to like it. It was ok but there were a few things that grated on me. I found some of the music distracting and random, suddenly intruding with loud jazz or game music which didn’t seem appropriate to the story at the time. The narrator for Kate did a great job and most of the cast was good. However, Dr Doolittle’s accent was all over the map and Curran sounded like a creep! I’m a bit sad they obviously put a lot of work into it but some elements let the rest down for me.

So much better than other version…
I’ve read the whole series and was excited to listen to the audiobooks but couldn’t make it through the other version as the narrator grated on me. Was really excited when I seen they were releasing another version. It’s sooo much better, the voice of the main character ‘Kate’ really fits unlike the other versions. The only con would be the background music as it’s a bit distracting but this is usual for graphic audio, they get a bit heavy handed.

A wonderful version of the first Kate book
I've read all the Kate books and loved this version of Kate and crew. Voice actors all felt a right fit. Only dissapointment is one scene where the characters talk over themselves when not supposed to (corwin interview scene)

Yes!!!!! Exactly what I needed
I love this story, but I've always struggled with the previous audio narration. Kate in the books didn't annoy me, but that Kate did.
With this adaption, Kate is the Kate I heard in my head when reading!!!!! the various accents that the cast display dont feel forced, never did I feel as though I was hearing a regional accent be butchered, though yes some take a moment to adjust to.
Well worth the listen!!! looking forward to the next House Andrews adaption from Graphic Audio!!!!

WE LOVE KATE
I RATE KATE DANIELS BOOKS VERY HIGHLY BUT THIS VERSION WAS SPOILED FOR ME BY THE DRAMATISATION THE MUSIC WAS INAPPROPRIATE AND HORRIBLE. OVERALL I PREFER A PLAIN VERSION WITH ONE OR TWO NARRATORS.

Love this book
I loved the story, I’ve got the standard audio version and now this one. I much prefer this version. I found it highly entertaining. Curran’s voice is spine tinglingly wonderful. I can’t wait to listen to the next book.

Perfect
Love this book & this new adaption is brilliant especially Kates voice, which I didn’t think fit in the previous audio book. Great fun to listen to. Hope they do the whole series.

The standard audio is much better
I am an avid fan of the author and this series in particular and have every English audio book she has released.
I have listened to the Dramatic Audio of the Inkeeper Chronicles and I felt they worked in that series in a way they really didn’t for this book.
Kate often lacks emotion, other characters sound off (Doolittle in particular) and Curran felt like a let down to me in the main story he lacked the emotion personality and charm that I associate with him. (In fairness the part at the end when it is from curran’s perspective is better).
Though the part that grates most for me is the heavy handed music and sound effects on the right scenes. They are beyond distracting and the opposite of immersive.
