Curran popped the lid off. Six perfect golden muffins. The aroma of honey and vanilla floated around the table. [...]
Curran took one muffin, passed it to me, and bit into a second one. “We came to your house last week.”
“I was out on clan business. That doesn’t count.”
I bit into the muffin and, for the five seconds it took me to chew, went to heaven.
~Magic Binds, by Ilona Andrews
I have a confession: I am hopelessly addicted to urban fantasy books.
I just love being transported to another world where there are heroes and heroines, magic is real and there is a mystery to be solved.
One of my absolute all time favourite series is the Kate Daniels series by the urban fantasy royalty duo Ilona Andrews. A wisecracking badass heroine, magic, mystery, were-creatures, vampires and monsters - what’s not to love? I was doing a reread of the whole series because the tenth and *sob* very last book came out, when this passage stopped me in my tracks:
Six perfect golden muffins. The aroma of honey and vanilla floated around the table.
Holy honey muffins, Batman, do those sound freakin' amazing or do those sound freakin' amazing?
