説明
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…

Although I enjoyed this book, I kept thinking I had started a series part way through? And at first I was thinking I'd rate it at 3 ⭐, but I think by the end Iit was nearly a 4⭐, so that's what I chose.The World building of this series is interesting 🤔 The factions that were in the world were quite different to some Urban Fantasy.Society has reorganized into powerful factions based on magical abilities:The one I got the most was:The Pack: Curran was my favorite character after Kate He is the Leader of the shapeshifters (werewolves, werebears, etc.) usual Pack hierarchy.The People: A group of necromancers (Masters of the Dead) who can remotely pilot "mindless" vampires like biological machines. THIS GROUP were the ones I found most hard to understand, being that Vampires were basically Dead puppets.The Order: Formally known as the Order of Knights of Merciful Aid, they are a quasi-religious, government-sanctioned group that polices magical crimes.The Mercenary Guild: A group of magic-for-hire individuals, including Kate herself, who handle paranormal problems for a fee. By the time I finished this book, I was definitely invested in this urban fantasy world, and I hope to find some more of the series soon 😆
wow, I didn't expect to really like this book, but i'm already reading the next one.I'm really growing to like Kate. I think I'll be reading the rest of the series.....if I can find them all at the library that is.
Dlouho jsem kolem téhle knihy chodila v knihovně a jednou si ji i půjčila, ale nedostalo se na ní, díky jiným knížkám. Teď toho docela lituju. Protože tahle kniha mi doslova nedala spát.Svět, který autorka vytvořila mě dostal a přiznávám se, že jsem nečekala takhle dobrou knihu, opravdu ne. Svět, kde magie svádí boj s technikou a vyhrává.Nejen velice napínavý děj, dělal knihu tak zajímavou, ale občas mě dostávaly i některé rozhovory mezi postavami. Což je další část, která dělá Magii mrtvých tak zajímavou, postavy. A teď nemluvím jen o hlavní hrdince a Curranovi, ale i dalších postavách. Přiznávám, že opravdu dost mě zaujal Mahon.Teď jen doufat, že druhý díl nezklame.
