To see her is to love her

Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews

by 1 Comment

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 sister stepped down, because she’s married to the Prime of another powerful House. While Catalina’s […]

Innkeeper Kicks Butt!

Sweep of the Blade by Ilona Andrews

by Leave a Comment

Update: Read the published full length novella and oh boy. I loved it. I loved it! I loved that Ilona Andrews gave us Maud’s POV at the beginning, prior to her going off with Arland to his House’s planet. We get to see how she carried herself more prior to Dina finding her and Helen. We also get to see her first impressions of Arland and Sean. And we even get to witness them sparring. I loved seeing the illustrations in full cover in my Kindle too. I can’t wait for the next InnKeeper! Original review: Wonderful! The Innkeeper Chronicles […]

Grandma flexed her arm. “Ride or die.”

Sapphire Flames: A Hidden Legacy Novel by Ilona Andrews

Diamond Fire: A Hidden Legacy Novella by Ilona Andrews

by Leave a Comment

Sapphire Flames was a nice way to return to the Ilona Andrews fold. I was unhappy with the final Kate Daniels book and stopped reading Ilona Andrews for many months. I did buy the novella, Diamond Fire, but I was still too mad about Magic Triumphs to really get into it. When Sapphire Flames was released, I reread the novella and then dove into the novel. And then I went back and reread White Hot and Wildfire. I would not suggest trying to read these books without reading the previous Hidden Legacy books. There will be some spoilers for the first […]

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

Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

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 can and dive in.  The last two weeks have been especially exciting because I had […]

Vampires in Spaaace!

Sweep of the Blade by Ilona Andrews

by Leave a Comment

This book, which was originally intended as a novella, is book 4 in the Innkeeper Chronicles. While it’s not necessary to have read the entire series to fully appreciate this book, it might be helpful to at least have read book three, One Fell Sweep, where Maud and Arland meet for the first time. Official book description: Maud Demille is a daughter of Innkeepers—a special group who provide ‘lodging’ to other-planetary visitors—so she knows that a simple life isn’t in the cards. But even Maud could never have anticipated what Fate would throw at her. Once a wife to a powerful vampire knight, […]

The final Edge book.

Steel's Edge (The Edge, #4) by Ilona Andrews

by Leave a Comment

Finally buckling down to write this review. I finished the book two and a half months ago, so it’s not going to be my best. Steel’s Edge is the last book in The Edge series, a fantasy/romance set of books that focus on the Edge, a place on the border between our reality (which they call the Broken) and a magical world (called the Weird). Our hero is Richard Mar, the brother of Kaldar from book three. Richard is on a self-imposed quest to wipe out slavers and human trafficking in the Weird, although I can’t remember why he’s so […]

“The world was going crazy. Nothing left to do but hold on and yell “Wheee!” at strategic moments.”

Magic Triumphs (Kate Daniels #10) by Ilona Andrews

by Leave a Comment

I was holding out on reading this, the final book in Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniel series, for a long time. Over the years, these books were warm stew, a thick blanket, and a campfire. They were familiar, comfortable, and satisfying, every time. After the first 9 books, as a reader, I wondered how on earth it was going to finish. It seemed impossible, because we knew that as powerful as Kate was, Roland, her father and enemy, was even moreso, and even if she could somehow beat those odds, their lives were still tied to each others’. No spoilers, but […]

Not quite measuring up to expectations

Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles #1) by Ilona Andrews

by 5 Comments

I actually read this a few weeks ago, but since then I’ve found myself so consumed by Game of Thrones that I’ve neglected pretty much everything else in my life. Let’s get caught up, shall we? In the midst of some heavy duty non-fiction reading, I found myself jonesing for some nice and easy brain candy, so when Clean Sweep came up on offer on my kindle, I jumped at it. I’ve already read and enjoyed two Ilona Andrews series (Kate Daniels and Hidden Legacy), but whilst I enjoyed the ideas behind Clean Sweep, and it whiled the football that […]
