The Magic Bites sequence is a series of urban fantasy novels written by Ilona Andrews. The series is set in a world where magic and technology coexist in Atlanta, Georgia. The main character of the series is Kate Daniels, a skilled mercenary who possesses magical abilities. Kate is a strong and independent protagonist who is known for her wit and resourcefulness. One of the key aspects of the series is the unique world-building. In this world, magic and technology are in constant conflict, with magic becoming stronger during certain periods called "Magic Waves.
Book two, Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews was an amazing continuation of this series. It had a “meaty” plot that drove the interactions between the characters. Andrews created the most delicious sexual tension I have EVER experienced. I was writhing in anticipation by the end; can Kate just get a little action?? Speaking of action, there is also a completely different kind of action in this book, and it was non-stop. I LOVE fight to the deaths and Andrews delivered. My heart is still racing from all the action. As a character, Kate is slowly unraveled before us exposing the secrets she keeps and why she keeps them. I loved her secrets and I loved that she fought to keep them a secret but was still human enough to want an ordinary life. The only issue I had with the series so far is every problem turned into “IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!” This plot device can be overdone and desensitize readers. At one point, I found myself annoyed that every fight determined the fate of the world. I’d appreciate a little more reality in that aspect of the books. Overall, it’s still a great book.
But when her werewolf friend Derek is dying in human form, from attack by the mysterious Reaper team at the Midnight Games, she and Curran, the Beast Lord, must fight together to win the Wolf Diamond topaz and save his Pack and her friends. This is a pure fan boy, passion project of mine; but the community often seems on board to help with this kind of thing, and maybe this will be useful to other fans or story tellers.
In this world, magic and technology are in constant conflict, with magic becoming stronger during certain periods called "Magic Waves." These waves can disrupt technology and bring out mythical creatures and magical phenomena. Throughout the series, Kate finds herself embroiled in various mysteries and battles against dangerous creatures and enemies.

Also, in the elimination round before the finals, not all seven must participate in every match. So, different combinations of roles and abilities come into play. Part of that is the Stratego's job to sort out. A team must have four surviving fighters to stay in the games. A Stone, presumably the BIG (and strong/tough?) fighter, may still fight with a sword or be preternaturally fast, but he/she's always the team Stone.
