My name is Danica James. My grandfather broke the world, now I have to deal with the consequences.

'm a cop with the Arcane Division. Most mages have the ability to manipulate the elements - fire, water, air, earth, electricity. My magic only works on machines and electrical devices. They call me a magitek. That doesn't help much with demons and vampires, let alone criminals with lethal magikal powers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I expexted
Reviewed in Canada on March 3, 2022

I didn't know quite what to expect when I chose this book. I had picked it out looking for a light read between other books.
What I got was more twists and turns than a roller coaster.
More action than most tv police dramas and characters that are believable and skirt that magnanimous and chaotic line that villains and not so good guys often do.
I hope you have as much fun reading this book as I did.

Thanks BR!

A different take on a magical world.
Humans are not at the top of the food chain any more.
A little futuristic, but still enjoyable.

Magictek's can use magic to help or harm electronics and some weapons. Dani is gifted with that. She is a Major Crimes Detective.
Interesting world build. Rift opens, Demons, Vampires etc. came through. ( backstory ) Dani has grown up in this world.
The part that challenged Believability for me was when she went after a Demon Lord alone???? That does NOT Compute !!! Still a great story. A new favourite author for me.

Wow what a fascinating read, but with this author that is kind of a given. This world building and character building was so cool, and the difference take on magic ead was awesome. The whole magitek thing especially was intriguing. I cant wait to see what happens next.

3.0 out of 5 stars Magitek where?
Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
I started this book cause magitek with paranormal species sounded interesting. It could've been if magitek played a bigger role than a weapon used randomly.
This book felt like a Scooby doo mystery times ten minus the van. So much travelling and talking. There wasn't anything to make me feel like I wanted to follow the main character along. She went here and there and everywhere, she knew everyone and has done everything already. We are just taking a glimpse of a moment in her Super! Busy life. Felt like she didn't really care about anyone else except what they can do for her and her job. Selfish main character. I'll take a pass on the next book. Thank you for the cool cover.

If you enjoy urban myth and post dystopian tales, read this. If you love kickass female protagonists, read this. BR Kingsolver has succeeded in creating a dangerous world for us to explore from the safety of our kindles. Looking forward to the next episode.

I was totally swept up in this story. It has high level intrigue and plot twists, likeable and relatable main characters, mystery, thrilling action, magik, and demons from another dimension that really come across as "other", and not just humans in a different skin. It was very well written, and kept me enthralled throughout, reaching a satisfying end point without being too pat - not a cliff hanger, but leaving me eager to read the next book. Definitely UF, not PNR. Definitely worth reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic New Urban Fantasy Series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2020

BR Kingsolver is one of my favourite urban fantasy authors of recent years. This author is a superb crafter of tales, drafter of worlds and creator of intriguing and convincing characters. Every page is a pleasure to read and the start of a new series from BR Kingsolver is a book I’m going to devour pretty soon after release.

Magitek revisits the world of The Dark Streets Series, which is one of my favourites. The MFC, Danica, in this book is a quarter elf and three quarters Magi. Danica is a Magitek a kind of mage that uses magic to manipulate technology. She is the illegitimate daughter of an important son of the House of Findlay. She is not interested in house politics and is police detective. Her new partner is a member of another important House and Danica is not sure what to make of him.

Drawn into a case of a missing teenager and facing danger on all sides, Danica has to draw on her skills and determination, along with her family’s support and connections to try and stop the delicate balance of power in the region from crashing into pieces.

I really loved Danica. She is a strong confident woman, who knows her job, is well trained and competent. She’s a loyal friend and a loving daughter and though she doesn’t like being infamous for who her family is, she doesn’t turn her back on the members of that family who love her.

I really liked the supporting characters in this book. They are well constructed and are engaging. These characters help build a picture of the world in which Danica lives as well as Danica herself.

The plot of this book is fast paced and entertaining, drawing the reader on with each new turn of the page. The crime fighting aspect of the book is as much fun as the world building and I really enjoyed being challenged by the clever construction of the whodunnit aspect of the story.

I can’t wait to see where this story goes next, because I know the next book in the series will be just as good, if not better, than this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and satisfying read.
Reviewed in Australia on July 2, 2021

First book by this author. Enjoyed the characters. Dani is great female character. Strong, intelligent but with a few flaws to make her real. The magical world is well envisioned and hopefully will develop as the series continues. Basically it is a good police investigation within the context of magical world. I cannot wait to read the next in the series and will check out the Rosie O'Grady series. It was so good to meet a lead female character that was willing to break some rules and kill the baddies to get results, and wasn't angsting about her childhood. This is the most satisfying read I have had for a long time. Hopefully the author will continue building the series. Have book 2 ready to read and hope 3 will be published soon.

Just finished this book, and not sure yet whether I really enjoyed it or found it a bit tedious. It's kinda along the lines of the Kate Daniels series, which I loved, but it's not quite up there.
I like the fact the mc is a strong female lead, without much need for her male colleagues, but I just didn't really warm to her, I much preferred her bf if I'm honest!
I found all the families quite confusing to get my head round who was who, and lost track of who was actually working with who in regards of the kidnapping of the girl. I thought the ending was slightly rushed, and don't actually feel I need to carry on reading to find out what happens with Danica next...BUT I would read a story about Mychal and Kristin..so it's not the worst I've ever read, and I did kinda enjoy it, but nor sure it really floated my boat enough to carry on.

An urban fantasy set sometime in the next few hundred years, with a strong female lead and, refreshingly, no male love interest for her to swoon over.

The plot is interesting, the world- building detailed, and the dialogue snappy.

I thoroughly enjoyed it
