I Heart Ilona Andrews
In case you missed this comment from author Ilona Andrews in the comment section of the review of Magic Burns, here is an excerpt from book 3, MAGIC STRIKES!!! (Why oh why do I have to wait so long for the next one???) I can see already that I won’t be able to put it down. Kate and Curran’s relationship started from a rocky beginning, but it’s growing into something powerfully hot and compelling. I still can’t believe I missed the most important line at the end of Magic Burns. Me and Buttercup. Ha!
Ilona – I will send you coffee, chocolate, anything and everything you need. Just. Please. Write. More!!!!

“You may be right,” Raphael said.
“His Majesty needs a can-I girl anyway. And I’m not it.”
“A can-I girl?” Andrea frowned.
I leaned back. “‘Can I fetch you your food, Your Majesty? Can I tell you how strong and mighty you are, Your Majesty? Can I pick out your fleas, Your Majesty? Can I kiss your ass, Your Majesty? Can I…”
It dawned on me that Raphael was sitting very still. Frozen, like a statue, his gaze fixed on the point above my head.
“He’s standing behind me, isn’t he?”
Andrea nodded slowly.
“Technically it should be ‘may I’,” Curran said, his voice deeper than I remembered. “Since you’re asking permission.”
Oh, so delicious. Mmmmmm Curran. Le sigh. Thank you Ilona!!!!
If you haven’t read the books yet, here are my two cents:
Book 1: Magic Bites
Book 2: Magic Burns

Thanks for posting the Curran-Kate snippet. Also good to see that Kate is still interacting with Andrea and those wild were-hyenas. I enjoyed the series on the first reading and, have enjoyed it even more with subsequent readings. Even though I have to be at work way too early in the morning, I ‘m off to get my copies so I can start reading them again.
I enjoy your blog. Always glad to find someone who can point out more books/series for my TBR mountain.
FYI, if you hunt through posts on ilona’s blog, you’ll find a few more snippets, plus cool rabbit avatars.
Thanks, Beth

So would it be bad to say that I am getting and ARC well okay not an ARC but a copy as soon as her publisher gets it to me?
That is all
