Sapphire Flames, book 4 in the series (novellas only count as half instalments) and the continuation of the series came out in August (on my birthday – thank you, House Andrews, for your benevolence!). In the months leading up to that release, I wanted to re-read the previous books, so everything was fresh in my mind. The plan was that my husband would read them too (how am I married to a man who just simply refuses to read the same things I like and […]

To see her is to love her

Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews

4.5 stars This is the first book in a new trilogy, so it will work fine to anyone new to the authors or this fantasy world, but readers may want to have read at least Diamond Fire, a novella which introduces the heroine and bridges the completed trilogy and this new one. In a world where magical abilities bring wealth, power and possibly even fame, Catalina Baylor has reluctantly become the head of House Baylor and the main investigator of her family’s detective agency, after her […]

New Trilogy Set in a World That Still Has So Much to Explore

One thing I love about my Kindle is the ability to make pre-orders because on my own I lose track of publishing dates.  The fact that as soon as a favorite author has a release date, I can pre-order it and then it appears in my Kindle months later is amazing.  Sometimes, books pop up on Tuesday morning, and I think, “nice, that will be fun to read once I am done with my current read.” Other times, I immediately drop everything else that I […]

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This novella takes place after the events of Wildfire and this review may spoil things for any reader who has not finished the original Hidden Legacy trilogy.

After the bride runs off numerous wedding planners, her sisters Catalina and Arabella decide to take over the wedding planning duties. It turns out that dealing with […]

This is How You Use a Novella to Transition a Series!

I only read the first sentence of the synopsis for this one – all I knew was that it was an Ilona Andrews Hidden Legacy novella so it was an automatic preorder.  I saw that it was about Connor AKA Mad Rogan and Nevada’s wedding but it’s not like I needed any more detail to read this one. As a result, I was pleasantly surprised to see that after the prologue with Nevada’s introduction to Connor’s mother, the novel shifted perspectives to the next Baylor sister, Catalina.  Don’t get […]

No more nipples, but we DO get a purple tornado and lightning…

The third instalment of the Hidden Legacy series, Wildfire sees our male cover model finally pop a t-shirt on while on the inside Nevada investigates the kidnapping of a House Prime and enjoys her newly romantic relationship with Rogan. Unfortunately for her immediate happiness, however, it’s not only looking like the kidnapping is part of the conspiracy that’s been threatening to overthrow society throughout these books, but the kidnappee’s wife is Rogan’s ex, Rynda, who’s not above trying to win him back to her side.
