À Atlanta, les tempéraments – et les températures – sont sur le point de devenir explosifs. Kate Daniels, mercenaire spécialisée dans le "nettoyage" des problèmes surnaturels, a vu beaucoup de choses incroyables. Régulièrement, les vagues magiques balayent Atlanta comme des marées. Mais une fois tous les sept ans, c’est un tsunami magique qui s’abat sur la ville et, cette fois, Kate va se retrouver avec un problème bien plus important que d’habitude. Un problème d’ordre divin. Quand elle s’engage à retrouver des cartes volées à la Meute, le clan des Changeformes, Kate découvre rapidement que l’enjeu est plus important qu’il n’y paraît. Ces cartes ne sont que la première étape d’une confrontation entre des dieux qui espèrent renaitre. Et si elle ne veut pas que sa ville soit détruite, Kate va devoir tout mettre en oeuvre pour éviter le cataclysme.

Although I liked the first book once the first half was over and it got to the better-paced second half, Magic Burns is a definite improvement. It grabbed my attention much earlier and the plot is more solid than in the first book, which had a lot of wandering around trying to solve a mystery involving the death of Kate's guardian. There were a lot of scenes that felt like they were solely serving as an introduction to the various characters in the first book, and even though this novel introduced more new characters, their appearances flowed with the rest of the story much better instead of feeling somewhat stilted. This book's mystery also unfolded more naturally instead of seeming like Kate was just going to one place then another place trying to gather information.

Like with many series, this second book was better than the first. I loved seeing different mythologies woven into the world, and Bran certainly kept everyone on their toes.
