Editorial Review:
As a mercenary who cleans up after magic gone wrong, Kate Daniels knows how waves of paranormal energy ebb and flow across Atlanta like a tide. But once every seven years, a flare comes, a time when magic runs rampant. When Kate sets out to retrieve a set of stolen maps for the Pack, Atlanta's paramilitary clan of shape shifters, she quickly realizes much more is at stake. The stolen maps are only the opening gambit in an epic tug of war between two gods hoping for rebirth, and if Kate can't stop the cataclysmic showdown, the city may not survive.

Impressive:
Not only does Magic Burns meet the expectations created by its predecessor, Magic Bites, but surpasses them.

Addicting!:
I stayed up and finished this one instead of last minute studying for finals (I do not recommend)! I'm in love with the world Ilona has created, and don't find Kate annoying in the way that I find most female protagonists are. Can't wait for book 3 to come out!
Very enjoyable read:
I really liked this book and will read the others in the series. There is a good mix of action, humor, and plot. Character development could be a bit better and more characters would make this a broader deeper book, but for a short quick read it is excellent.
