Kate Daniels [Dramatized Adaptation] #4
Magic Bleeds [Dramatized Adaptation]
Kate Daniels works for the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, officially as a liaison with the mercenary guild. Unofficially, she cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to handle—especially if they involve Atlanta’s shapeshifting community.
When she’s called in to investigate a fight at the Steel Horse, a bar midway between the territories of the shapeshifters and the necromancers, Kate quickly discovers there’s a new player in town. One who’s been around for thousands of years—and rode to war at the side of Kate’s father.
This foe may be too much even for Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. Because this time, Kate will be taking on family...
This dramatized audiobook also includes 3 short stories: Naked Dinner, Conclave and Awake.

Graphic Audio’s are amazing. I discovered how much I enjoy listening to them last year and I can’t get enough. As the tagline says: It’s a movie for your mind!
HAWT DAME the GA for Magic Bleeds was spectacular! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next GA installment in the Kate Daniels series. It’s a full cast. My goodness I loved all the different voices and sound effects. I was on the edge and couldn’t stop listening. At the end we also get Curran’s POV’s and OMG outstanding.
My original review of the book as well as the original regular audio below:
~ 5 Magic Bleeds Stars ~
HAWT DAME! AMAZING! Another winner in the Kate Daniels series.
We are thrown back into Atlanta and a new threat that will expose Kate even more to those she never wanted to find her.
Emotional turmoil & revelations happen in Magic Bleeds. We have relationship issues, hard chooses that will change everyones futures, and a big mystery to solve. If you don’t know by now I am a FAN of the Andrews team and LOVE this series. It has everything an Urban Fantasy needs, action, adventure, a kick-ass heroine, fantastic world building, amazing secondary characters, and so much more.
HAWT Dame! Yep, Kate and Curran’s relationship explodes in this novel in so many ways. Andrea and Raphael end up imploding (big rift) between them and that relationship was looking so good too. Someone from Kate’s bloodline makes a very big and dramatic entrance into her life and we learn so much from this mysterious person. Last Kate has some very hard chooses to make and one that will affect her deeply and change her future.
Magic Bleeds is a book that will take you away with non-stop action, pulling you into a world full of mystery, magic and so much more. Once I picked this book up I could not put it down and then I had to go and start the next book. Must read series!
Audio: The audio is well worth it. Love listening to the Kate Daniels series.

Screaming crying throwing up etc. I'm in a glass box of emotion from how outstanding these Graphic Audio versions of the books are. I'm on the very edge of my seat waiting for the next one to come out and grace me with its presence. Rereading my favorite series has never been so fun.

I absolutely loved this GraphicAudio Dramatized Adaptation of 'Magic Bleeds'.

This is one of my favourite books in the series, and getting it in the full cast dramatisation, and with additional Curran POV bonus bits just makes the experience even better. I got the audio yesterday morning and spent most of yesterday finding ways to listen more.

Magic Bleeds is one of my favorite books in the Kate Daniels series - it's where she and Curran finally come together and I always found Erra a very interesting character. I just had finished Magic Binds on my kindle and those who read the series know what this means with regards to Erra - I won't say more so nobody is spoilered. I love these graphic audiobooks very much and especially those from Ilona Andrews. Curran's voice is exactly how I always imagined his voice to be - velvety smooth and very sexy!! It was pure pleasure listening again to a story I already knew but came alive once more with this audiobook. If you haven't tried a graphic audiobook, I strongly recommend to try. Even better than normal audiobooks and I really hope the trend continues and there are many more to come. Secretly I hope for the Hidden legacy series. The Innkeeper Chronicles are already there. 5 stars for this magic adventure which sweetened my Sunday.
December 11, 2023
Update: Dramatized Edition brought this story to life. Plus, the bonus content is the best. Especially when Curran fought the bears and he was late for dinner. Yeah, you know the dinner I'm talking about. *wink* and when he woke up after the fight with Erra. I just loved all 11 hours of this. I upped my rating from 4 to 5 stars.
Love this series so much! While this isn't my favorite book of the series, it still is a great addition. I'm not fond of politics, no matter the kind. This one is filled to the brim with Pack laws and such, and it kind of dragged for me. On the other hand, it served as a purpose to Kate's role as Curran's mate. I love that it's official and they are in love and happy. Something tells me that it's too good and some salt is about to be thrown. No matter, I'll stick to it until the end.
OAN: all that challenging BS at the end made me mad. I didn't like the wolves much to begin with, but they proved to be even bigger pains than I thought. Aunt Erra is crazy. Ted is a prejudice a-hole. Andrea needs to stop being ashamed of what she is. She doesn't deserve Raphael, and I can't wait to see how they will move forward. Lots of action, magic, and death- my type of read. I highly recommend this series!

My favorite so far. I love like every single couple of this series. And sure, the story is fast paced, funny and so fascinating. But the romance !!!!

⭐4 - liked it
Narrated by Nora Sofyan as Kate Daniels and Michael Glenn as Curran. With Stephanie Németh-Parker as Erra, Emlyn McFarland as Andrea,
I liked the interactions between Kate and Curran a lot more in this book. Still the romance could've use some more moments between them that shows the quieter moments in a relationship. Where you can really see just why they like each other instead.
I do really like learning more about Kate's background and how they are dealing with it.

Decided to try the GA after buying the whole InnKeepers series from GA. They did a good job there but this was even better. At the end of the book they add Curran POVs from the book, the bear conflict that made him late to dinner, the restaurant scene, Curran waking and confronting the alphas, and Mahon and Curran’s fight. That was nice to get at the end of the book. If they left anything out, I missed it. I listened side by side with the first InnKeeper book and they left very little out, a sentence here and there and talk descriptors like he said, she yelled, etc… those are all acted. So I was very happy with Nora Sofyan who is so good that she almost rivals Renee Raudman. I would still choose the Raudman version but this has something. I have disliked other GA versions, example World of the Lupi., but I really enjoyed this one. For a review of the story go to my GR review of the book.

This has several of the Curran POV at the end.

I listened to this audiobook, the via graphic audio. This one has to be the best one out of the series so far. I truly enjoy the characters and their development from the previous installments. If you do listen to this via audio, it is a whopping 12 hour-long book.
I am generally curious: What is going to happen in the upcoming chapters? We are definitely getting closer to the main event. Of course, there is romance in the book as well as a lot of action. It is again the characters that really propel this series further and further into its own lore. While making jokes and pointing back to past events. You feel as though you have been a part of this entire timeline. Something that many books struggle to do. This series has been phenomenal achieving that goal.
If you want something that's got a good universe, a good list of characters with a little bit of romance and action on top of that. With a different twist on a universe with magic and technology. This is definitely a series you need to read or listen to.
Do not miss on this book.

A captivating adventure that will keep your attention to the very end.
The narrator did an admirable job of breathing life into the various characters. The story is intense and compelling. I love the dynamics between Kate and Curran. They seem to be happiest when they're fighting. Another major player is introduced in this book bringing more depth to Kate's background.
I can't get enough of this series. It's addictive.

Soooo good! I’m loving these Graphic Audio productions of the Kate Daniels series by Illona Andrews. The animal growls, sound effects and CURRAN.. OMG his voice brought to life is EPIC. The Kate Daniels series is already AMAZING and action packed but listening to it being brought to life with a full cast and sound effects is epic. I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

The Dramatized adaptation of this story was great fun. I liked having all the different voices and it added liveliness to the story. Like many of the books in this series, I have enjoyed the character progression and the background story is entertaining and interesting.

This series is so good. Love Kate Daniels as a protagonist and the world is so interesting. Historically, I’ve always read way more high fantasy or epic fantasy relative to urban fantasy, but this series is so good. My taste might change - I might become an urban fantasy stan. Who knows?

I always enjoy graphic audio much more than regular audio book.
Magic Bleeds is one of my favorite book in the series. The graphic audio version represents the book quite well.
Kate is perhaps not as entertaining as what I envision in my head, but she still sounds strong. Curran's voice has less amused, teasing quality while talking to Kate than in previous books, as their relationship changes. Jim is his usual excellent self. Erra is OK. What surprising is Barabas. I immediately like him.
The intimate scenes, on the other hand, sound really weird. Same with Kate's sobbing. The music often sounds out of place.

I know this is a reread or, in this case, listen. But it's the first time I've listened through a dramatised adaptation. To be fair, it adds a little more, just at points where you couldn't quite get your brain to see that far. But the story itself is so well built, and the characters are so strong that it just makes a great book better.
In this book, Kate learns the cost of opening up and loving. But she also learns it can inspire the best in people. Curran finally gets it right after miscommunication makes him and Kate look like a fantasy instead of possibility.
There is sadness, unexpected when some of the characters lost where in the series like twice, but that's the mark of a good series, even they dug into my book heart.
There's thrill and action. Oh, and some spicy spicy fun... but like once with mid smut detail.
I know what happens up to book 7 in the series but would reread this again and again, just because the characters have depth, and grab at your imagination so fast you realised you are already invested 10 pages in.
Plus, we get more extras in the form of Currans POV as a special extra at the end. And Curran is unexpectedly funny. You get a bit of his sense of humour in the books. But his POV books are sarcastic and weirdly cat-like. I sometimes imagine him rolling his eyes while licking his paw in disdain 😼😹

Here's the thing, I had planned to wait until more books were available, but read books 1-4 in January anyway. Couple months later, another book was released and because I love the Kate Daniels series to a ridiculous degree, I'm listening again.

Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series is one of my very favorite things and I've listened to the audiobooks at least a dozen times over the years. This dramatized adaptation took something I loved very much and made it even better.
Like the other dramatized adaptations, the Curran POV stuff for Magic Bleeds is included at the end of the book. Once again I'll say I didn't realize how badly I needed the Curran stuff narrated until I got it.
Y'all, the narration is top notch. Don't get me wrong, Renee Raudman is extraordinary and did a fantastic job as a solo narrator, but these dramatized adaptations are on another level. Having a full cast gave us the gravely tone I expected of Curran as well as a very surly/exasperated Jim and the magnificence that is Doolittle. Doolittle's accent is PERFECTION and it makes me love him even more.
I truly didn't think I could love these books more yet here I am eagerly awaiting the dramatized versions. That's after multiple rereads and waiting for each book as it was released. Years ago. Please, please, please give us all of the Kate Daniels series. I'm begging. This small wait for book 5, Magic Slays is kinda driving me nuts.
