Further adventures in terrible book covers

February 3, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

The second book in the Hidden Legacy series, despite being warned by you all I didn’t believe it was possible that the cover for White Hot could be any worse than that for Burn For Me. I was so wrong, and you were soooo right. Why is he sniffing her forehead? Are those abs painted on? Are the publishers actively trying to put people off from buying this? The mind boggles… In the aftermath of Burn For Me’s adventures, when not practicing her magic Nevada […]

Thanks, kind Cannonballer…

January 30, 2018 by TheShitWizard 3 Comments

A week or so ago, in the need of some decent brain candy, I put out a plea for urban fantasy recommendations. I can’t remember which kind Cannonballer came up with this one, but I’m grateful nonetheless. Nevada Baylor is a private detective in a small ‘family’ business, albeit one that’s been bought out by a much bigger business – in this case one of the many ruling Houses that make up this world. This is a world where magic exists, with different types and […]

Family Drama and a Blue Demon Cat

January 12, 2018 by Jen K 2 Comments

Wildfire picks up right after White Hot, and sees Nevada grappling with how the events of the previous book will affect her and her family.  At this point there is no denying the fact that she is a Prime, and her lost grandmother is on her way to reclaim Nevada into her family.  White Hot ended with revealing Catalina’s abilities to readers, and with two Primes in the family, Nevada and her family can register as their own House which would provide a certain amount […]

I’m here for the cats, dogs and trained ferrets (there’s also romance and banter if that is your thing)

January 12, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

The novel picks up two months after the event of Burn for Me, and starts when Cornelius Harrison, a witness in the previous novel, comes to Nevada’s office to hire her to investigate his wife’s murder.  Despite her better judgement, Nevada takes on the case because she understands Cornelius’s motivations and desire to get an explanation of what happened to his wife as he and his young daughter face life without her.  Normally, the House that employs people would investigate their murder, but House Forsberg […]

Some Men Just Want to Watch the World Burn

January 11, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

I tend to be a bit bad/sporadic about tracking authors and series that I read, so when someone mentioned Ilona Andrews the other day, it served as a reminder to check if a new Kate Daniels was out or at least available for pre-order yet.  Instead, I was surprised to see that not only had they finally released the sequel to Burn for Me, but somehow two follow ups were available. Since I had only a vague recollection of the first of the Hidden Legacy […]

Book 3 of The Hidden Legacy Series

December 23, 2017 by Sophia Leave a Comment

As soon as I finished White Hot, Ilona Andrews’ second book in their Hidden Legacy Series, I immediately bought the third book, Wildfire (2017), and started to read it. At this point I was hooked and wasn’t about to rest until there was nothing else for me to read. To be honest, I read the second and third book so close together that I have a hard time telling them apart. I remember a lot of what happened in both books, just not what happened in each book. Anyway, the […]

    I felt the same way. Interesting concept, but the execution was lacking.

    on Sometimes, a book cover promises cats and lies. This book, on the other hand, delivers in spades. SO many cats, guys.
    Sooooo many cats!!
