First book of Kate Daniels series - a mercenary who lives in a more or less post-apocalyptic world, and where "apocalypse" was the comeback of magic: magic comes and goes, and when magic is on, technology is essentially useless. In the middle of all this we get necromancers who control vampires, and a pack of weres. Kate's guardian got killed, and Kate is now investigating the murder. I didn't like it much, but I don't know exactly why. Maybe the fact that it's a bit of a mess - you get thrown in the world without much preliminaries, maybe the fact that I didn't manage to relate much to Kate... Not my stuff, I guess.
