Small Magics - Ilona Andrews

Small Magics is a collection of five stories. It serves as a great introduction to the author's work.

In the world that Andrews writes about, magic and technology don't mix. When magic started to intrude at regular intervals, some people became powerful predators and others became scared prey. These stories are about the people who have magic. Some are villains and some are heroes, but they are all interesting. I particularly liked Of Swine and Roses. Talk about the worst date ever. Very highly recommended.
