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 […]

An excellent bridging story between a finished trilogy and a series to come

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. Proceed at your own risk. Nevada Baylor is marrying Connor Rogan, and that means a huge society wedding with countless guests, including many of Rogan’s family members from all over the world. 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 […]

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.

Further adventures in terrible book covers

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…

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 […]
