I thought I would start a series of questions each day to see what great answers you can come up with. Some of these will have you scratching your head to find just the right answer. So here goes the first question.
WHAT IS THE BEST BOOK THAT YOU READ LAST YEAR?
I would have to say it would be MAGIC RISES BY ILONA ANDREWS. This book had me saying ” Oh, Shit! Did that really happen?” And “Oh Nooooo! Tell me it is not so?”
There was no other that had me laughing and crying by the end of the book. That is my answer, so tell me yours.
Tomorrow I will post another question.
Book Description
Release date: July 30, 2013 | Series: Kate Daniels (Book 6)
Atlanta is a city plagued by magical problems. Kate Daniels will fight to solve them—no matter the cost.
Mercenary Kate Daniels and her mate, Curran, the Beast Lord, are struggling to solve a heartbreaking crisis. Unable to control their beasts, many of the Pack’s shapeshifting children fail to survive to adulthood. While there is a medicine that can help, the secret to its making is closely guarded by the European packs, and there’s little available in Atlanta.
Kate can’t bear to watch innocents suffer, but the solution she and Curran have found threatens to be even more painful. The European shapeshifters who once outmaneuvered the Beast Lord have asked him to arbitrate a dispute—and they’ll pay him in medicine. With the young people’s survival and the Pack’s future at stake, Kate and Curran know they must accept the offer—but they have little doubt that they’re heading straight into a trap…

Ooops. sorry my reply went to the wrong comment. Thanks for the clarification on 2013. I’ll have to go check to see when I read what! 🙂
Clarification…do you mean “last year,” like in 2013? Or “last year” like in the last 12 months. I think my answer would be different for each of those.
2013
Got it on Kindle, and will probably order the hardback shortly, to fill out my shelf. I’d rather read from Kindle, though. So much easier on my eyes and my thumbs. 🙂
Interesting! Love the title, “Magic Rises”. Is it part of a series? I’m seeing several more that have similar titles under “related”.
My favorite book is one I just finished reading, titled The Ghost in the Electric Blue Suit. My review is here: http://aprillwood.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/awrw-book-review-the-ghost-in-the-electric-blue-suit-by-graham-joyce/
Yes, it is part of the Kate Daniels series. The first book is called Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1) . This series will make you laugh. Check out Ilona’s site. It is a husband and wife writing team.http://www.ilona-andrews.com/books/
Oh wow! That’s different, huh? The husband and wife writing team I mean, of course.
Yeah it is hr writes the male parts and she writes Kate’s part. It works out very well.
Neat!
One of the best out there, as far as UF series go. Right up there with Seanan McGuire’s Toby Daye, Kim Harrison’s Hollows, Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson & Alpha/Omega, etc. Only Chicagoland and The Dresden Files rank higher on my lists. (Not including Maggie Stiefvater’s work here…she’s in a class of her own). Check it out, April. But be sure to give it at least two books before deciding. Each one is better than the one before. And their On The Edge series is good, as well, especially Bayou Moon. Great book! Great writing team!
I agree with you. It is one of the best out there. Did you order the last Kim Harrison book yet?
