PUG REVIEW: MAGIC BITES BY ILONA ANDREWS

Magic Bites- Kate Daniels #1- Ilona Andrews
                                            Blurb:
                                                    
 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…

PUG REVIEW: DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON BY SEANAN McGUIRE

DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON BY SEANAN McGUIRE- INCRYPTID #1
                                                    
 
















                                                      BLURB:
Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night... The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity-and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be, if it weren't for the talking mice, the telepathic mathematicians, the asbestos supermodels, and the trained monster-hunter sent by the Price family's old enemies, the Covenant of St. George. When a Price girl meets a Covenant boy, high stakes, high heels, and a lot of collateral damage are almost guaranteed. To complicate matters further, local cryptids are disappearing, strange lizard-men are appearing in the sewers, and someone's spreading rumors about a dragon sleeping underneath the city...

PUG REVIEW: GRIMSPACE BY ANN AGUIRRE

GRIMSPACE BY ANN AGUIRRE (SIRANTHA JAX SERIES) 1#

                                         

                                                                             Blurb:

By all accounts, Sirantha Jax should have burned out years ago…

As the carrier of a rare gene, Jax has the ability to jump ships through grimspace—a talent which cuts into her life expectancy, but makes her a highly prized navigator for the Corp. But then the ship she’s navigating crash-lands, and she’s accused of killing everyone on board. It’s hard for Jax to defend herself: she has no memory of the crash.

Now imprisoned and the subject of a ruthless interrogation, Jax is on the verge of madness. Then a mysterious man breaks into her cell, offering her freedom—for a price. March needs Jax to help his small band of rogue fighters break the Corp monopoly on interstellar travel—and establish a new breed of jumper.

Jax is only good at one thing—Grimspace—and it will eventually kill her. So she may as well have some fun in the meantime…

Ginny's (THE PUG'S) review

I got this book by chance in a bungle with other Ann Aguirre books; I’m so glad I choose to read this book even though it’s not normally my type.

This book is fast pace and from the very first page we are thrown straight into the middle of things, just like the main character, we are left to try to figure things out by the small bits and pieces that are given to us as the plot progressive at a high speed. This book is full of ass kicking action and attitude that has a life threatening deadline.

This book has a great set of characters that I loved and was genuinely upset when some were thrown to the waist lines never to resurface again; they have a great 3D present.

I can’t wait to get my paws on book two I hope it is as fast paced and as feisty as Grimspace.
