Another Ilona Andrews series has stolen my heart

Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews

White Hot by Ilona Andrews

Wildfire by Ilona Andrews

Diamond Fire by Ilona Andrews

December 28, 2021 by teresaelectro 6 Comments

I discovered Ilona Andrews through Felicia Day’s book club. We read the first Kate Daniels book, Magic Bites. I didn’t quite get hooked, but Cannonball Read made me want to read more. Thanks to Malin, Emmalita, and Jen K for convincing me. I know you didn’t have to twist my arm! I had always planned to read their Hidden Legacy series. I even bought the most recent book last year. It wasn’t until Malin gifted me the first two books for the CBR12 book exchange that […]

A slightly happier ending to this story of fatal foes than Romeo and Juliet

Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews

December 26, 2021 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars This was an ARC from Netgalley. My views and opinions are my own. On the alien planet of Rada, most of the powerful families have genetic abilities in some way or another, but the ones born with lethal combat abilities are the fiercest of rivals, and none more so than the Adlers and the Baenas. They are constantly vying to be the most dominant, and now both families are close to discovering the secrets behind their genetic abilities. Matias Baena, head of his […]

Enemies to Lovers, CEOs in Space Style

Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews

November 5, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

While I have read and enjoyed Ilona Andrews’ two largest series, the Kate Daniels world and Hidden Legacy, I haven’t explored their other series. When I got Fated Blades from NetGalley, I worried a bit because I haven’t read any of the other Kinsman Universe stories, but I knew I would enjoy it because it’s Ilona Andrews. It was no problem. The world explains itself well enough and I don’t think the other Kinsman Universe stories impact it too much. Matias Baena and Ramona Adler […]

This really wasn’t as bad as I’d heard it would be!

Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews

October 1, 2021 by narfna 4 Comments

I liked this, but it was the least well put together of the books I’ve read from these authors yet. I would have continued on anyway, but I’m glad for the heads up everyone has given me that this series improves. Mostly, I’m fed up with the alpha dick measuring that Curran and his pack have going on. I find it very irritating and I hope he knocks it off. So this is the first book in the much beloved Kate Daniels urban fantasy series, […]

Thank you, Bothari43, for helping me complete my first bingo of 2021!

Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

August 31, 2021 by Dome'Loki 4 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo Square: FREE – It’s taken a while for me to get around to it but I have finally read Magic Bites, a  Cannonball Book Exchange from Bothari43!  Visit link for bonus Wall-E content. When I posted my thank you, Emmalita and Malin were quick to jump in and warn me that this is not Ilona Andrews best book but if I could stick around, book three is excellent.  This was reinforced by other Cannonballers during one of the zoom chats earlier this year.  I […]

CBR Diversions – Literary Couples That Make You Swoon

February 11, 2021 by teresaelectro 48 Comments

With Valentine’s Day swiftly approaching, romance is in the air. To complement our featured romance book reviews, this week’s CBR Diversion celebrates our favorite literary couples. Who makes you swoon? I know many of you are historical romance fans who love a reformed rake who meets his match. Daphne and Simon have become quite popular in the zeitgeist after the Netflix adaption of Julia Quinn’s The Duke and I premiered. Personally, I’m a sucker for the slow burn courtship in urban fantasy series. In the […]
