Kate Daniels Series Book 10: Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews

Magic Triumphs (Kate Daniels, #10)
Kate Daniels Series Book 10
Mercenary Kate Daniels must risk all to protect everything she holds dear in this epic, can't-miss entry in the thrilling #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series.

Kate has come a long way from her origins as a loner taking care of paranormal problems in post-Shift Atlanta. She's made friends and enemies. She's found love and started a family with Curran Lennart, the former Beast Lord. But her magic is too strong for the power players of the world to let her be.

Kate and her father, Roland, currently have an uneasy truce, but when he starts testing her defenses again, she knows that sooner or later, a confrontation is inevitable. The Witch Oracle has begun seeing visions of blood, fire, and human bones. And when a mysterious box is delivered to Kate's doorstep, a threat of war from the ancient enemy who nearly destroyed her family, she knows their time is up.

Kate Daniels sees no other choice but to combine forces with the unlikeliest of allies. She knows betrayal is inevitable. She knows she may not survive the coming battle. But she has to try.

For her child.

For Atlanta.

For the world.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

A fantastic ending to an amazing series. Seriously, what a way to end the series. After 10 long books and a few novellas, the Kate Daniels series has come to an end. And what an ending it was! I laughed and I cried and I probably had ten more emotions as I was reading the book. Demanding to know why certain things happened, but being relieved to see the answers. To laughing my butt off thanks to Kate and Curran's banter, and Hugh's for that matter as well. Smiling at moments you have waited patiently for. It was just such a satisfying book knowing it was the end for our main characters Kate and Curran. 

Kate has fought her family, her friends, the love of her life, and their baby son. She fought to make a life for herself after believing for so long that she wasn't going to get one. She knows that with the birth of her son, her father will be there ready to take him away from her and Curran. A war is coming and she is ready to fight for everyone she loves, even if it means her own death. 

The book starts with the birth of Kate and Curran's son, Conlan. Then it jumps to thirteen months later. They've adjusted to a life with a child and though Conlan has turned their life upside down, Atlanta is still causing trouble and they are still protecting it. When a surprising (and horrifying) incident occurs, everything changes. And the cause isn't Kate's father, Roland. No. It is something that is a lot worse. A new threat has come and now it will take everyone in Atlanta to fight it. Everyone. As Kate and her friends figure out how to defeat this new enemy, they are also preparing for the moment when Roland will come for them. Battles on all sides. Familiar and surprising faces return. 

Plot twists on plot twists occurred throughout this book and I loved every moment of it. I couldn't guess what was coming. I kept turning page after page, demanding to know how everything will be resolved. And it was. That's what I really loved. And though the ending left things with the hope of new stories for others and of course, wanting more of Hugh and Elara (2 more books with them! yay!), I was still happy and content with the ending. If you love this series and you have stuck with it to the very end, you will love this final book. I know I did.
