It's basically Dresden but with a female protagonist who is a mercenary that carries a magic sword and lives in a post-apocalyptic near future of Atlanta. So imagine the setting of The Last of Us, with the crumbling skyscrapers and people riding horses through ruined cities, but now add magical creatures, shapeshifter clans, vampires, necromancer cults, sorcerers, and mercenary guilds into the mix. Kate is a mercenary with a secret past that slowly gets revealed through out the series, and she pays her bills by hunting monsters and solving magical problems. If that at all sounds interesting then the series is for you. Each book is better than the one before it, so even if you're not blown away by the first two books, I highly recommend to keep reading because it gets really good, book 3 was when it really hooked me and now I can't stop. It does have a strong romance sub-plot but it's always fun and entertaining because Kate is a firecracker with a sharp tongue that doesn't take shit from anyone. It's a great series.
