Spoiler:

When magic strikes and Atlanta goes to pieces, it’s a job for mercenary Kate Daniels in this thrilling novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Drafted into working for the Order of Merciful Aid, mercenary Kate Daniels has more paranormal problems than she knows what to do with these days. And in Atlanta, where magic comes and goes like the tide, that’s saying a lot.

But when Kate's werewolf friend Derek is discovered nearly dead, she must confront her greatest challenge yet. As her investigation leads her to the Midnight Games—an invitation only, no holds barred, ultimate preternatural fighting tournament—she and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, uncover a dark plot that may forever alter the face of Atlanta's shapeshifting community...

And also, Ilona Andrews appear to be doing a serialization of a short story? novella? they swear it's not a book! featuring Julie (Kate's adopted daughter). The first four installments are posted on their blog (https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/), and they are identified as "Ryder part ##", so you can find them. So far it's pretty enjoyable IMO, even without an end promised.
