Publisher's summary

Ilona Andrews invites you to experience the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring the intriguing fantasy world of mercenary Kate Daniels…

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...

Very enjoyable

I really enjoyed this version of magic bites. I always liked the original audiobook, but hearing every character in their own voice was great. There seemed to be a problem in chapter 3 with audio overlapping.

Wonderful cast, great story, voices makes it better

I have this book on kindle, paperback and now on audio book- with the Graphic Audio version because I like the different voices of the characters and the very dramatic and active role they tell the story. When I read alone, that is how I read the story, now I get to just listen, chill, and laugh right along to the perfect voices of Kate, Curran, and all the wonderful cast that makes this story stand out in audio form. It’s perfect! I can’t wait for the next graphic audio version so I can get that one and the rest of the Kate Daniels world!

Love this series!!

I was very excited when I saw this adaptation, and it was very good. The only issues I have is 1) a couple of characters do not sound like they should, most of these characters are from the south and that is not what they sound like, in particular Dr. Doolittle is from the deep south and I'm not sure where that voice was from, it kept changing and 2) changing the pronunciation of names. Other than that a really good listen. Love Iona Andrews!!

Fabulous!!

I would happily listen to the rest of the story in the dramatized adaptation. Just say when and where!

So glad that I went with the full cast production!

I tend to go for the full cast productions and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The voices & accents are spot on for the characters and I totally recommend this to any fan of this series and authors.

As always brilliant

Hope we get all the books on the dramatised adaptation version. I’m normally a reader as opposed to a listener. I was trying to get a friend hooked on Ilona Andrews and bought it to listen, as well as a copy for her. I report 100% success, she is now addicted to Kate.

I love the separate voices

all the different voices and personalities make everything so interesting. I am thoroughly enjoying this

Amazing!!!

I loved the audiobook, but this is even better!!! I can’t wait to listen to every single one!!!

background music is painful

The story is good. The lead narrator is good also. The others are muffled and sometimes seem to start talking before the narrator finishes.

The music... ugh... painful! Often I turn off the book just to get away from the music and the sound effects.

Hated Kate’s voice

Kate’s voice just didn’t fit for me. I found myself losing the story because of it. I’m going to read the actual book so I can understand the story better.
