Ilona Andrews’ books are always an automatic yes for me so I was excited to receive a DRC of Emerald Blaze.

This fifth book in the Hidden Legacies series focuses on middle sister Catalina. As Head of House Baylor and the Deputy Warden of Texas, she’s constantly battling attacks from both the magical and normal realms against the people she cares about and herself.

Alessandro, the Italian playboy assassin who broke her heart is back. They’re being forced to work together – can her heart take being shattered again? Can she discover what killed one of the city’s magical elite? Can she stop it before it kills again?

The machinations of Evil Grandmother reach new heights (depths?) in an ongoing Evil Grandmother meddles and controls from afar.

My thoughts

Strong leads with a steamy connection, nonstop action, and a mysterious killer to catch make for a seriously enjoyable romp.

Thank you NetGalley and Harpercollins for the DRC.

Looking for another urban fantasy series that blends a contemporary setting with magic, try the Alex Craft books by Kalayna Price. The first book in the series is Grave Witch.
