Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews

     This is a story based on a character that appears in The Kate Daniels series. If you haven't read this series, you can read this book without getting lost, though being a reader of the series, makes the story richer because of the already known knowledge of characters history. The first book in The Kate Daniels series is Magic Bites.
     This book follows Andrea Nash, Kate Daniels best friend and a shape shifter, who's past has had her pretending to be human, as much as she could. Andrea used to be a Knight of the Order, then when she was discovered to be a shape shifter, she lost the life that kept her sane. Now she works with Kate Daniels and her investigations firm Cutting Edge.
     A murder of shape shifters pulls Andrea into Pack business, when she is asked to help investigate. The case forces her to deal with her ex-boyfriend Raphael. That encounter begins a change in Andrea and she begins to become the complete woman she should be, part human and part Hyena. Excepting the price she would have to pay, becoming a member of the pack.
     Throw in a God, trying to gain his full power back. A bit of romance. Magic, monsters, pack politics, and the addition of a novella, that follows Kate's adventure during the time of Andrea's investigation. I loved having a story that dealt more into Andrea's world. Not disappointing in the least. A perfect blended story, that bites you and doesn't let go, till the end.
