Most mages have the ability to manipulate the elements - fire, water, air, earth, electricity. My magic only works on machines and electrical devices. They call me a magitek. That doesn't help much with demons and vampires, let alone criminals with lethal magikal powers.

Contains mature themes.

Excellent urban fantasy from a reliably enjoyable author

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

Like all BR Kingsolver books, the heroine is smart, interesting, talented, yet avoids the Mary Sue trope that so many urban fantasy heroines fall victim too.
The lead character, Danica, is a cop from one of the ten chief families on an Earth that has had nuclear war, a demon invasion, vampires- yet still manages to be familiar.
The characters are interesting, the story engaging. While it’s not left on a cliffhanger, it is definitely left with a sense that the sequel is going to be incredible.
Mostly romance free not because the main character is anti romance, but just because it’s definitely not the time and place.

Author shows promise

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020

Honestly? The writing was not bad. My rating had little to do with that. My issue is with the way the author normalized minors having sex with 40+ adults. I should have stopped reading at that point, but I kept going because, as I mentioned, the writing was not bad.
I understand in any well-written or even remotely thought-out crime book, there will be uncomfortable elements - after all, bad crimes in general often go against the norm. However the detective not only finding out about what is legally sexual assault and not reporting it or even seemingly remotely concerned about it led me to this lower rating. It does not matter how consensual the actors in that sexual act may think it is, if it is someone under the age of 18 with someone over the age of 22, it is rape and should be treated as much. Instead, the author not only did not treat it as such, she also made it seem as though because the actors were consensual, it was ok and the detective didn't have to worry about it as hormone driven teenagers will be hormone driven teenagers.

No.
Just. No.

Engaging story

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2020

I have read every book in the Chameleon Assassin series, Rosie O' Grady series, and the series with the Elf main character (can't remember the series off hand), and when I saw the author had a new book coming out in a new series, I knew it was gonna be an automatic buy. The story didn't disappoint. The story flows well, gives enough of a back story that you can understand the world the characters live in, but not too much that you wish the story would get a move on. Dani is a great character, well developed but with room to grow. I can't wait until the next one comes out...would definitely recommend this book.

What a ride!

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020

I suppose you could call this dystopian, but it concentrates on the police even though magick rules. The main character is Danica James, granddaughter of the infamous man who broke the world. After her dad goes missing during an attack, instead of being a pampered Top 10 Family daughter ,Danica grows up with her half elven mother and becomes a police detective in the Washington/Baltimore area. She known as a magitek, someone who can affect motors, controls, lights. As a cop , she known for being tough on partners, they joke she has her own wing in the hospital.
Her cases range from monsters in an alley killing people, to a drug house massacre with demons, enslaved kids, and vampires. Then it gets ugly. She searching for a missing teen and gets too close to something else. And the people are serious about her stopping-they start trying to take her out. Now, I'm not trying the whole story, for that you buy the book. Stellar writing, but when it's BR Kingsolver, I'll jump genres and give it a try.

I like it, but

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

This moves quickly. The pace of the narrative feels relentless. There is a lot of world building and a lot of character. I can see this being a great series.

But.

There are some significant errors that crop up. (See ‘Spoilers’ for details). There was also a lack of development or definition in the main character. She was doing *everything* at breakneck speed.

I believe I will try the next book. Even as glib as everything was, I still enjoyed reading the book.

Spoiler

At one point the MC mentioned getting revenge for the death of her father. It was confusing, as she also mentioned she didn’t believe he was dead and there was no other mention of Benyiro Family as the cause of his death. Completely out of the blue.

There were also issues with geography. Specifically, if you state that the oceans rose (due to climate change) then that also means that peninsulas and estuaries are now in different places. And waterside restaurants would be newer as the old ones flooded. You cannot simultaneously change *and* not change the world.

Finally, the MC has a flying car (!!!), yet her Family doesn’t have a jet the can do very short takeoffs/landings. It seemed like a huge weakness and over sight. She even left the car behind on a building helipad!! The flying car just didn’t fit in the world very well.

Love the Danica character
The complex but believable world was a great escape
What would happen if the world was attacked by maniacal Boeing from another dimension (the rift) ? What would our world look like after a magical Great War?
Dani is police but connect to the power that be too

Planning on going for round 2 with the next book
Not a lot of romance - no unrealistic meetings and such but still has some sex-writing for those who look forward to it.

I am excite about reading more on Dani and her group

Refreshing and yet familiar

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

Having read another series by the author about an elf, I can definitely say that the author did not reinvent everything about paranormal characters for this series. There are enough parallels that it could be possible for Kellana Rogirsdottir of the other series to appear with Danika James of this series in a novella at some point. One big difference is that Danika has a totally different kind of magic than any introduced previously. It is because of this special talent that the book gets its title. Definitely worth reading if you enjoy magic, otherworldly beings, and a good mystery to solve. I look forward to the next one!

Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2021

A mix of cops, magic, corrupt families, murder, trafficking, drugs and a whole lot of action. It was excellent. The characters were full not built of paper, they were interesting and developed, the writing was excellent and I loved Danica, novak, and Kirsten, whittaker, and even the demons. Can't wait for next installment

Rift 1

Nothing I like better than a tough, strong woman, who's magical, funny and sarcastic. The time line is in the future, there's a rift that demons and other creatures can cross. Having lived on the eastern coast, It broke my heart to think that these special cities had been attacked, but thank goodness you can still get blue crab in Baltimore!
Fast paced, full of magic, friendship, family feuds and nasty critters! I loved it.

What another great story from this author.
I'm really enjoying the Rosie's o'grady paranormal bar & grill so thought I'd give this a try. It's great to have a detective story mixed in with magic but from an original story foundation

Well written, fast paced with plenty of action, magic and plot twists. Also a number of well judged interludes of normal life which is a breath of fresh air in the action/magic genre. I enjoyed it and can recommend it to fans of magic and fantasy.

Great story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2021

It's been a while since I read a book of this genere that didn't include far too many graphic sex scenes. This was a breath of fresh air! Yes there was romance and some sex but only where it was necessary to the story line. I thoroughly enjoyed the well constructed story line and look forward to the next book.
