Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews 272pp (Paperback) My Rating: 8/10 Amazon Rating: 4.5/5 LibraryThing Rating: 4.23/5 Goodreads Rating: 4.27/5   Magic Burns is the second book in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews, who is actually a married couple instead of one writer.

This week I got one book. […]

In my Day One recap, I had said I suspected this post would be short (ha! I should know myself better than that by now) so I was going to write about a few other things.

The morning of the second day at Book Expo America was another flurry of signings, although it […]
