The fourth Kate Daniels novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author who “defines urban fantasy” (Fresh Fiction). Kate Daniels works for the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, officially as a liaison with the mercenary guild. Unofficially, she cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to handle—especially if they involve Atlanta’s shapeshifting community. When she’s called in to investigate a fight at the Steel Horse, a bar midway between the territories of the shapeshifters and the necromancers, Kate quickly discovers there’s a new player in town. One who’s been around for thousands of years—and rode to war at the side of Kate’s father. This foe may be too much even for Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. Because this time, Kate will be taking on family...

Kate Daniels' past has caught up to her, and anyone associated with her is in danger. Kate was raised to be a loner, an outsider. Her instincts scream at her to run and hide. But now that she has built a life for herself, she will not go down without a fight to the death protecting all she loves. And this time it really might be the death of her. An ancient being has awakened and is terrorizing Atlanta with disease and death. Killing the leaders of the organized orders that hold Atlanta together one by one.
Fighting against an evil that is centuries older than her will not let Kate walk away without sacrifices. No matter what she does, her life is going to take a drastic turn. The Kate Daniels series never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat. Each of these books is full of action, magic, and destruction and I love every minute of them
Each book in this series has been better than the last, and Magic Strikes was so excellent that it was going to be difficult just to match it. Magic Bleeds did take longer than the third book in the series to really hook me, but once it got going it had everything I loved about the previous installment - great character interactions, lots of action, humorous dialogue and occurrences, a strong mythological basis outside of the ordinary, so many memorable moments and lots of references to The Princess Bride (and other literature but mainly The Princess Bride). It was one of those books that had me rereading parts I just read before moving on, and I didn't want it to be over. At times heart-wrenching, at times heartwarming, it was very emotionally gripping.
