I've just finished Ink Exchange which is about fighting between Summer and Winters courts etc of the fey. It is the second of three books by Melissa Marr, the first being Wicked Lovely.

I'm reading Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth series) by Terry Goodkind.

When that's over, Magister Book 2 by C.S. Friedman is on tap.

Why does the Obsidian Trilogy sound so familiar?

It's the third instalment in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews.

Here you go -

1. Magic Bites

Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren’t for magic…

One moment magic dominates, and cars stall and guns fail. The next, technology takes over and the defensive spells no longer protect your house from monsters. Here skyscrapers topple under onslaught of magic; werebears and werehyenas prowl through the ruined streets; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their thirst of knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with their minds.

In this world lives Kate Daniels. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood makes her a target, and she spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, she must choose to do nothing and remain safe or to pursue his preternatural killer. Hiding is easy, but the right choice is rarely easy…

2. Magic Burns

Down in Atlanta, tempers - and temperatures - are about to flare…

As a mercenary who cleans up after magic gone wrong, Kate Daniels has seen her share of occupational hazards. Normally, waves of paranormal energy ebb and flow across Atlanta like a tide. But once every seven years, a flare comes, a time when magic runs rampant. Now Kate’s going to have to deal with problems on a much bigger scale: a divine one.

When Kate sets out to retrieve a set of stolen maps for the Pack, Atlanta’s paramilitary clan of shapeshifters, she quickly realizes much more at stake. During a flare, gods and goddesses can manifest - and battle for power. The stolen maps are only the opening gambit in an epic tug-of-war between two gods hoping for rebirth. And if Kate can’t stop the cataclysmic showdown, the city may not survive…

3. Magic Strikes

Drafted into working for the Order of Merciful Aid, mercenary Kate Daniels has more paranormal problems than she knows what to do with these days. And in Atlanta, where magic comes and goes like the tide, that’s saying a lot.

But when Kate’s werewolf friend Derek is discovered nearly dead, she must confront her greatest challenge yet. As her investigation leads her to the Midnight Games - an invitation only, no holds barred, ultimate preternatural fighting tournament - she and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, uncover a dark plot that may forever alter the face of Atlanta’s shapeshifting community…

I enjoy them a lot

Very. They are aimed at a younger reader but I find them very original and entertaining. Cornelia Funke is best at writing charaters but the story is good too

Dev, I might give those a try.

Andie, that sounds a lot like the Shadowrun novels that came out about 20 years ago.

My friend's a huge Twilight fan, but I've never read the books or seen the movie. Is it really that bad?
