Destroying books since 1999.
The reason why I got FanGirl in the first place was the theme. I’m a sucker for zombie books, or at least I used to be up till the point where the theme became overused. Throw in some nerdiness and I’m sold.
My main problem with this book is the characters. I cannot relate to any character because I am obviously not the target audience. The best way to put it is this:
Yep. Sad, but true.
“You’ll never take me alive”
WTF is Gunmetal Magic about? Good question my friend. Gunmetal Magic takes place in the same world as the Kate Daniels series does: post-magic-induced-apocalyptic Atlanta. Now, I presume you have read the previous books. If not, then you probably should, it helps build up the story.
Andrea has a new case. A few members of the pack got killed so you know the old story. She has to investigate and get to the bottom of it. Add lots of actions, fights, bullets, cool weapons, badass monsters, and you get one hell of a book. I’m not going to get into details. Even so, you won’t guess who she has to work with! Ok, maybe it’s pretty obvious who. None other than Raphael, her big EX. Again, you see where this is going, right?
Ugh Ilona Andrews, you need a new cover artist. Your books are too good for these corny covers.
I want to start my review with a message for Ilona Andrews. Mrs. Andrews, are you with me? Yes? Ok.
I LOOOOVEEE YOU SO MUCH! SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! You are my most favorite person ever!!!! Ever!!! I want to put you in a plush cage (I care about your comfort, I would never hurt you!) next to my bed so that I can look at you day and night and make you write amazing stories just for me. Forever! And I won’t share! No no no. Never! All mine!!
Wouldn’t that be great? WOULDN’T IT???
Ilona Andrews' story only. Maybe I'll give the others a try some other day.

We walked inside the mead hall. The vampire, shapeshifters, the dog, and the lion man followed me.
This is why I love Kate Daniels so much.

I really loved it but the ending was too sudden. Will it have a sequel or am I supposed to imagine what happened with the rest of the characters?
Either way you guys should give this a try. Good stuff.
