Kate has such a sarcastic, self-deprecating sense of humor. I absolutely love this series – I laughed out loud I don’t know how many times. In order to retrieve the stone, and save the shifters, Kate, Jim, and their team must win the main fight at the Midnight Games. The main prize at the Midnight Games is the actual full-sized stone. After some digging around, they discover there are slivers of a magical stone that prevent shifters from shifting. They discover the shape shifters are not shifting when they are being attacked, which would most likely save their lives. It appears the Reapers are behind it and Kate decides to help Jim, the head of security for the pack, figure out why they are being targeted. Derek, a shape shifter and a friend of Kate’s, has been planted as a spy at these games because they have realized some of the teams are importing shape shifters to the area which could be a threat to the Atlanta Pack.Ī series of brutal murders and beatings of shape shifters starts to break out and Derek gets severely beaten. The Reapers, a team that claims themselves to be humans, have been dominating the games.

In the third installment of this series, Kate Daniels finds herself accompanying her sometimes friend, Saiman, to the Midnight Games, a fierce fighting tournament of magical creatures and humans, that fight to the death. Then technology will rise again for a few days and the world is back to “normal.” However, people with magical abilities are still able to perform, although at a somewhat weaker pace. People that have natural magical abilities are strongest at this time. Usually, every couple of days the magic flares, leaving technology dead – cars don’t work, lights go out, and creatures of all kinds come out to play. This book takes place a few years ahead in the future where magic has bested technology.
