In book three of the Hidden
Legacy series, Ilona Andrews has penned an
engaging read once again. Although I think you can enjoy
this book as a
standalone, I would highly suggest reading this series in
order as it helps
with the worldbuilding. In this enhanced world, there are a
lot of terms to
learn and understand and I think that is actually what makes
this world so
special. Magic and various elements play a huge part of this
book. However,
at the core of it, this series is really your basic private
investigator series.
Our heroine, Nevada is approached by the daughter of someone
they killed
in a previous book. This is another reason why I think it's
important to read
the other books in the series. If you don't, then you'll
miss the emotions
behind Nevada and Rogan's actions. Despite their hesitancy,
they have
decided to help the woman who is worried about her missing
husband.
I did think that the beginning of this book was slow. The
dialogue and
narration was monotonous for a while before the action
begins. While I do
think setting up the case is necessary, I just wished there
was more of that
personality that we usually see in Andrews' books. The
occasional snark
wasn't enough to break up procedural routine I think.
That being said though, the latter half of the book makes up
for it. I think this
book picks up about a quarter of the way through and finally
hits its stride.
Andrews is just so good at creating action scenes and
melding it into an
interesting world. I always look forward to reading all of
Ilona Andrews'
books. WILDFIRE is as red hot and blazing as the title suggests.
Nevada Baylor can’t decide which is more frustrating—
harnessing her truthseeker abilities or dealing with
Connor “Mad” Rogan and their evolving relationship. Yes,
the billionaire Prime is helping her navigate the complex
magical world in which she’s become a crucial player—and
sometimes a pawn—but she also has to deal with his ex-
fiancée, whose husband has disappeared, and whose damsel-
in-distress act is wearing very, very thin.
Rogan faces his own challenges, too, as Nevada’s magical
rank has made her a desirable match for other Primes.
Controlling his immense powers is child’s play next to
controlling his conflicting emotions. And now he and
Nevada are confronted by a new threat within her own
family. Can they face this together? Or is their world
about to go up in smoke?
