Birdie Bookworm and I spent a large chunk of 2018 rereading and discussing the Kate Daniels series, but then, sadly, we dropped the ball and didn't finish up with Magic Triumphs. We've decided to remedy that, starting with Hugh's book, Iron and Magic. This is actually a spin-off from the Kate Daniels series, but the... Continue Reading →
I always seem to be the last to jump on a series bandwagon, so I’ve made peace with the fact that a series has already come to an end by the time I start it. Kate Daniels, though, is hitting particularly hard. Kate and Curran are such wonderful characters, have shown such growth, and put... Continue Reading →
I'm so lucky to have Birdie Bookworm as my blogging buddy. When we realized the release of Magic Triumphs was coming right up, I proposed we revamp our discussion schedule and read this instead. She was instantly on board, and I am so glad! I could have done a re-read alone, but it wouldn't have... Continue Reading →
It's hard to believe that the Kate Daniels saga is coming to a close soon. This series re-read has gone by so fast; it's hard to believe we've just finished the eighth book, Magic Shifts. With each one, I'm reminded more and more how much I love it. The fact that I just keep getting more... Continue Reading →

If you peruse book blogs long enough, one of the common wishes is that we could read a book all over again for the first time. That's exactly how I feel re-reading the Kate Daniels series - that I am reading it for the first time. There are some things I remember: bare bones of the series... Continue Reading →
Mind. Blown. There have been a lot of things that have happened thus far that I forgot between my first read of this series and now, but one thing I didn't forget was that Magic Rises was my least favorite Kate Daniels book. In fact, I'd go so far to say I was dreading this particular installment and... Continue Reading →
I am a romance lover first and foremost, and boy does the Kate Daniels series feed my ever-loving soul. There's no denying that Kate and Curran steam up the pages, but even aside from that, this book was action all over the place. The dynamics between the characters are stellar, and I know i say this every... Continue Reading →
While this re-read is making me love the Kate Daniels series even more, it's also making me realize how little I retain as a reader. There was a part in this book (the last 10 percent or so,) that left such an impression on me the first time around that I was sure it was the bulk... Continue Reading →
We're up to Magic Strikes, the third book in our re-read discussion, guys. Can you believe it? I feel like it's flying right by, and to top it off, these feel like brand new books to me. I remember the bare bones of the plots, but I'm loving the way the blanks are being filled in!... Continue Reading →
