Works

Kate Daniels

The Kate Daniels novels are set in a slightly futuristic Atlanta, where magic and tech periods follow another. During tech, guns and cars works. During magic, planes fall from the sky and generally anything technological fails but forgotten magic spells work again. In this world, magical creatures again roam the lands. Heroine Kate Daniels is a mercenary who fights various types of monsters. Kate is special: she is a human with some magical abilities but foremost she's a great warrior.

The Edge

The Edge world is inbetween the 'normal' earth and a magical world that looks remarkably the same. It's a small piece of land where some things are magical and some are not. Most people on either side cannot go across a border, so the edgers are generally left alone. But the few people that can cross borders cause trouble...

Innkeeper Chronicles, or Dina Demille

Earth as we know it, is a safe haven for extraterrestrials as long as they keep to Inns. Earth doesn't know about other worlds or aliens yet, even though they are right under their nose. Inns are magical hotels, tied to a magical innkeeper that protects her clients. Dina Demille comes from a family of innkeepers and recently woke her own inn, Getrude Hunt, from a slumber. As Gertrude Hunt is largely unknown, getting visitors and keeping a thriving inn is tough. Fortunately, Dina is also tough, but goes to extremes to make her visitors happy, whilst keeping the Inn a secret for the local population.

The Innkeeper Chronicles all first appears as a series of blog posts on the Ilona Andrews website. After full publication, the posts were edited and published as a book.
